Abstract
In this study, copper sulfide/carboxylated graphene oxide nanohybrid (CuSG) blended polyethersulfone hollow fiber membranes (P HFMs) were developed for efficient separation of oxybenzone and bisphenol A from water. The composite HFMs showed remarkable improvement in hydrophilicity, mechanical strength, thermal stability, bulk porosity, and surface charge. The notably high pure water permeability (528.2 ± 44.6 mL/m 2 /h/mmHg) and 90.1% flux recovery were measured for HFMs blended with 1 wt % CuSG nanohybrid. Also, significantly high removal of oxybenzone (98 ± 1%) and bisphenol A (95 ± 2%) from EDCs-spiked water was measured by these composite HFMs. Thus, the experimental results demonstrated the potential efficacy of the novel composite polymeric HFMs for the separation applications.
