Graphene Oxide Membranes with Photocatalytic Degradation (GO/MIL-88A)¶
Disinfection & Chlorination • Est. CapEx: $800 USD • Lifespan: 10 Years (Standardized)
Technical Overview¶
This research combines graphene oxide with MIL-88A(Fe) metal-organic framework to create membranes that can both filter and degrade organic pollutants via photo-Fenton reaction. The membrane achieves 99.81% removal of methylene blue dye with enhanced water flux.
Key Specifications & Engineering Parameters¶
