Abstract

One of the most often used polymers as the primary component of membranes is polyvinylidene fluoride or PVDF. Nonetheless, its hydrophobic characteristic remains a significant barrier to this material’s utilization. This study aims to reduce the likelihood of fouling by adding Fe2O3/Zeolite additions to the PVDF membrane. Fe2O3/Zeolite was used to modify the membrane through surface coating. Compared to the pure PVDF membrane, the results demonstrated that adding additives to the membrane polymer solution increased the purified water and humic acid fluxes. The best results in this study were obtained by modifying the PVDF membrane and adding Fe2O3/Zeolite additions in a ratio of 1 gr: 0.5 gr (M2). Based on these findings, it can be said that.
