Influence of Carbon nanotube on Membrane Performance

Abstract

Pursuit of appropriate membrane-based water treatment technology has been heightened. Polymeric membranes have been used to remove macro-, micro- and nano-pollutants from contaminated water. Recently, carbon nanotube-based nanocomposite membrane technologies have been adopted to eradicate fresh water crisis. Nanocarbon-based membranes have strong affinity towards water molecules and rejects salts and pollutants.The current glitches and future challenges in the use of nanocomposite membranes for water decontamination need to be understand. Advance antifouling membranes with self-cleaning properties must be focused for high performance industrial applications
