From: A critical review on nanomaterials membrane bioreactor (NMs-MBR) for wastewater treatment
The synthesis of nanofibers membrane was typically carried out by using an electrospinning machine, whereby a selected amount of polymeric solution was injected on a syringe connected by a plastic tube and passed to a needle. Then, a high voltage generator was supplied and acquires a Taylor cone shape, leading to the formation of nanofibers membrane and collected on an alumina disk plate. Furthermore, the as-prepared membrane can be used in an MBR plant for improved permeate effluent quality.
