Synthesis and Characteristics of Polymeric Membrane Using Green Additive Material: A Review

Abstract

Membranes are widely used in modern water treatment technologies to remove harmful substances such as organics, inorganics, heavy metals, and biomedical pollutants. However, this cutting-edge technology also has some disadvantages, such as B. toxicity and contamination of contaminants, which makes the synthesis of environmentally friendly and sustainable membranes a safety hazard. This review explores using eco-friendly materials in polymer membrane production to improve sustainability and performance. In addition, data from contact angle measurements, field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy are used to interpret membrane properties such as solution flow, flow recovery, fouling tendency, retention, and selectivity. This progress is attributed to the favorable characteristics of environmentally friendly materials, such as B. their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and minimal environmental impact. Further research should focus on improving membrane composition, manufacturing methods, and performance indicators to improve the sustainability and efficiency of polymer membranes in desalination applications. This will help solve global water problems in a responsible and environmentally friendly manner.
