Résumé
Incorporation of inorganic and organic materials in polymer has contributed well towards the development of advanced reverse-osmosis membranes; with greater permeation, and salt rejection potential. We are reporting, Zeolite/GO/PVDF based thin-film composite membranes that were successfully synthesized by solution casting process, an eco-friendly, low-cost, and biocompatible technique. PVDF membranes modified with different ratios of GO/Zeo (0.03, 0.05 and 0.07) were characterized by FTIR, SEM, XRD, TGA, and DSC. Membranes were then tested for its potential for water permeation and salt rejection abilities. As prepared membranes owe better pore-distribution, a moderate degree of crystallinity and high absorption capability that is highly needed for micro-filtration phenomena used for desalination of saline water. The modified membranes exhibited enhanced water permeability up to 28.9 L/m
