Studies on the development of waste plastic based hydrophilic membranes for ultrafiltration applications

Abstract

Plastic utilization overtook other materials for its outstanding properties and advantageous characteristics This has no doubt increased the amount of waste plastic generated in the world and has risen concem over its effects on the environment This work shows the feasibility of the utlization of waste plastic as a membrane precursor and its application in the ultrafiltration process The main aim of the work is to utilize waste polyvinyl chloride PVC as a precursor for membrane fabrication...
