PSf Membrane-Impregnated Jute-Copper Nanocomposite as Highly Efficient Dye Removal Material.

ABSTRACT: Water pollution, driven by the discharge of dyes from industrial processes, poses a significant environmental and health hazard worldwide. Methylene blue, a common dye, constitutes particular concern due to its persistence and toxicity. Conventional wastewater treatment methods often struggle to effectively remove such contaminants. In this study, we introduce a novel approach utilizing a polysulfone-based composite membrane incorporating pretreated jute fibers and copper nanoparticles for the removal of methylene blue from aqueous solutions. The pretreated jute fibers undergo alkali and hydrogen peroxide treatments to enhance their adsorption capabilities, while copper nanoparticles are incorporated into the membrane to bolster its antimicrobial properties. Through comprehensive character
