CMC-based nanofiltration membranes for treatment of dye-contaminated wastewater

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: at an applied pressure of 3 bar. The rejection of dyes and salts was primarily attributed to size exclusion and Donnan exclusion mechanisms. Furthermore, antifouling evaluation demonstrated a relatively low fouling tendency of the CMC-based membranes, with the optimized membrane exhibiting a high flux recovery ratio (FRR) of approximately 88.6%. Overall, the results demonstrate that LA-modified CMC-based membranes provide a promising, environmentally friendly, and sustainable alternative for the efficient treatment of dye- and salt-contaminated wastewater.
