Structure and Properties of Cellulose Acetate Membranes

  • Conference paper
Advances in Polymer Science and Engineering

Abstract

Reverse osmosis (RO), a technique used to remove unwanted substances from a fluid, is applicable to reducing dissolved salt content in brackish and salt water. Cellulose acetate (CA) is a prime polymer used in RO desalination membranes and is the subject of this study (1).
