Enhancement of antifouling properties of PLA membranes by incorporatingconductive montmorillonite/ polypyrrole nanocomposite

Conductive membranes offer a promising solution to mitigate membrane fouling. This paper presents thefabrication of an adsorptive ultrafiltration PLA membrane by incorporating a conductive montmorillonitepolypyrrole(Mt-Ppy) composite nanoparticle. PLA-(Mt-Ppy) electro-conductive membrane was used as acathode and the effects of Mt-Ppy content on the cleaning efficiency of the fouled membranes wasinvestigated. By applying electric current, PLA-(Mt-Ppy-۰.۵) membrane showed highest FRR due to theBETTER repulsive force between the membrane and humic acid.
