Abstract :
A high flux thin-film nanocomposite membrane epoxy/ zeolite NaA nanocomposite films prepared by using ultrasonic mixing and spin coating. The synthesized nanocomposites film was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermal gravity analysis (TGA), and FTIR spectroscopy. Water softener and water flux characteristics of the epoxy/ zeolite NaA nanocomposite film investigated. The results show the water softener, and hydraulic permeability of the membranes, remarkably improve by the wt.% of the zeolite NaA loading. Antibacterial activity was investigated by use modification of zeolite NaA with silver ions (Ag+) and copper ions (Cu2+) for nanocomposite.
