Abstract

Zeolite based membranes have been extensively studied over the past decade for enhanced reverse osmosis (RO) performances. In this study, poly vinyl alcohol (PVA)-networked cellulose (NC) membranes incorporated with nano zeolite-Y were prepared through a facile slip casting approach using various na...
