Surface modification of nanofiltration cellulose acetate (CA) membranes was carried out by alternating layer-bylayer deposition of acidic chitosan (CHI) and sodium alginate (ALG) as the cationic and anionic polyelectrolyte, respectively. The supporting CA membranes were obtained by a phase separatio

Composite cellulose acetate (CA) based membranes having a hydrophobic top layer made of polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS) were prepared with the aim of desalination of brackish waters from the Sahel region of Tunisia having a total dissolved salt content (TDS) of about 4100 g.m–3. The porous substructu

Asymmetric cellulose diacetate (CA) based membranes were prepared according to the phase inversion process from acetone/formamide (2:1 wt./wt.) casting solutions. The polymer concentration was varied from 15 to 25 wt.% in order to produce membranes with pore size distributions ranging from low molec
