Replacing polyamide (PA) layer in commercially successful thin film composite (TFC) membranes prepared via interfacial polymerization has been challenging task. Lately, PA is under scrutiny due to its increasing fouling propensity for highly contaminated waters. To mitigate the bio and organic fouling on PA layer in nanofiltration (NF) membranes in a long run, present study attempts to create a new interfacial thin film asymmetric structure using biopolymer chitosan as sustainable alternative.

Article Synopsis
- Nanocomposites with high adsorption efficiency are essential for cleaning wastewater, but traditional adsorbents face issues like leaching and clumping, leading to the development of carbonaceous hybrid materials.
- This study presents a simple method to create Fe-Al based nanocomposites that are immobilized with carbon spheres, enhancing their adsorption capabilities and adding magnetic properties through iron doping.
- The resulting microcleaners show an impressive adsorption performance, with over 99% removal of EBT dye within 10 minutes and a maximum capacity of 564.97 mg/g, indicating their potential for effective treatment of industrial wastewater.
