Abstract
Chemical modification of different morphologies of ZnO nanoparticles (spherical, flowers). Modification of thin-film composite (TFC) using ZnO nanoparticles by surface coating. Measured flux, NaCl rejection and hydrophilicity. Fouling resistance studies on unmodified and modified membrane. Best membrane performance was observed with 0.02 wt% ZnO-S-modified membrane.
