Effect of polyvinylpyrrolidone additive in the substrate of thin-film composite forward osmosis polyvinylidene fluoride membrane on neodymium rejection by Yeoh, Yuan Xin, Mazrul Nizam, Abu Seman, Mohd Yusri, Mohd Yunus, Abdul Wahab, Mohammad, Nurul Ain, Ismail

“…Then, the non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) method was used to cast the substrate and the interfacial polymerization (IP) process was applied to form a polyamide (PA) thin-film active layer on the top surface. All TFC membranes except pristine PVDF membranes were able to reject neodymium higher than 94 %. …”
