Extraction and Fabrication of PVC Modified Membrane from Electric Wire Waste and Its Application in Water Remediation
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: The current work reported the extraction and fabrication of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) membrane from electric wire waste by using solvent extraction method. The application of fabricated PVC membrane and PVC/metal oxide nanoparticle modified membrane in the adsorption of Cu(II) ions from the aqueous phase in a batch equilibrium system. The effects of the adsorbent’s initial pH, concentration, temperature and dose on adsorption were examined. Adsorption testes were conducted at temperatures ranging from 30 to 80 degree Celsius and initial concentration ranges of 100-800 mg/L. The observation from the adsorption isotherms fitted the Langmuir and Freundlich model adequately.
