Modification of polyethersulfone using sericin and polyvinylpyrrolidone for cadmium ion removal by polyelectrolyte-enhanced ultrafiltration

The present study deals with the synthesis of polyethersulfone (PES)-based membrane using a biopolymer sericin and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) by phase inversion process. The synthesized membranes were characterized for hydrophilicity, pure water permeability (PWP), membrane stability, and surface fu...
