Investigating the Usability of Alkali Lignin as an Additive in Polysulfone Ultrafiltration Membranes

The effects of natural and synthetic polymer additives on the properties of ultrafiltration membranes were studied. The use of NaOH to remove the residual additive remaining in the membranes during coagulation was also investigated, as was the effect of NaOH post-treatment relative to membrane perfo...
