The enhancement of dye filtration performance and antifouling properties in amino-functionalized bentonite/polyvinylidene fluoride mixed matrix membranes.

Trade-off issue and membrane fouling remain two major issues in the utilization of membrane technology for the water treatment due to reduced membrane permeability and lifetime. In our study, we employed 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane modified bentonite (BNTAPS) as an anti-fouling modifier to prepare polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)-based membranes via the phase inversion method. The effects of BNTAPS concentration on the physical, mechanical, morphological, and filtration performance of the hybrid membranes have been investigated.
