Novel chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol thin membrane adsorbents modified with detonation nanodiamonds: Preparation, characterization, and adsorption performance

Detonation nanodiamonds (DNDs), for the first time, were utilized to modify chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol (CS/PVA) thin membrane adsorbents. For this purpose, different contents of DNDs, from nil to 1.5 wt%, were embedded in the polymer matrix of the membranes to obtain the optimum content. Static adso...
