Development of porous membranes by alkali activation of borosilicate glass: effect of wastewater acidity on copper adsorption

A highly porous membrane was prepared through weak alkali activation of Duran-type borosilicate glass using a 2.5 M NaOH:KOH solution. The incorporation of fine glass powder (<1 μm) significantly enhances glass network reactivity by increasing the surface area in contact with the alkaline solutio...
