【 摘 要 】
Membrane has been widely used in water and wastewater treatment. One of the major issues related membrane separation is concentration polarization or fouling, which can lead to a decline of flux and premature failure of membrane. However, fouling can be controlled by modification of membrane properties such as morphology and hydrophilicity. In this work, a modification of polymeric membrane, polyethersulfone (PES) was carried out using graphene oxide in order to attain high antifouling characteristics. Graphene oxide (GO) was added at different compositions ranging from (0.1 wt%-1.0 wt%). GO was synthesized using modified Hummers' method and characterized using XRD and FTIR prior to using it as additive for the PES membrane. The prepared PES-GO composite membranes were characterized using FTIR and SEM, Contact angle measurement and pure water flux test were then conducted to investigate the hydrophilicity of the PES-GO membranes. It was found that the additions of GO has significantly improved the hydrophilicity of the membranes.
