Abstract

The purpose of this research is to study the potential of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) polymer incorporated with graphene oxide (GO), following with the alkaline etching post-treatment process for dye waste water treatment. Its anti-oxidation properties of PVDF, have led to its choice as a host polymer due to its high thermal stability, great organic selectivity, and excellent chemical and mechanical resistance. In addition, the post-treatment with a NaOH solutions of varied concentration ranging from 0 M to 0.2 M for 30 minutes was conducted in alter the morphology of the fabricated membrane with the aim to increase the perm-selectivity of the membranes. Besides, the fabricated membranes were further characterized in terms of the chemical and physical properties using Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Contact Angle (CA), Ultraviolet Visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Atomic Microscopy (AFM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The experimental results showed that the post-treatment has decreased the membrane flux of dye wastewater. Based on the obtained result, as the concentration of NaOH solution increased, the permeability increased. While the overall dye rejection of the membrane remained of above 90 %.
