Polyethersulfone Blended with Titanium Dioxide Nanoribbons/Multi-Wall Carbon Nanotubes for Strontium Removal from Water.

ABSTRACT: Nanofiltration methods were used and evaluated for strontium removal from wastewater. The phase inversion method was used to create a variety of polyethersulfone (PES)/TiO2 nanoribbons (TNRs)-multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) membranes with varied ratios of TNR-MWCNT nanocomposite. The hydrothermal technique was applied to synthesize the nanocomposite (TNRs-MWCNTs), which was then followed by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The synthesized membranes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy, and FTIR. TNR macrovoids are employed as a support for the MWCNT growth catalyst, resulting in a TNR-MWCNT network composite. The hydrophilicity, mechanical properties, porosity, filtration efficiency of the strontium-containing samples, water flux
