A review of current developments in graphene oxide–polysulfone derived membranes for water remediation

Abstract

Water pollution has become a major issue due to the presence of hazardous pollutants resulting from ever-increasing industrial growth, and researchers are actively seeking innovative solutions for water treatment. Graphene Oxide (GO)–polysulfone (PSF) membranes are widely used in water remediation due to their resistance to high pH and harsh chemicals, and their ability to remove water pollutants. These materials have unique two-dimensional structures, tailorable micropores, large surface areas, and fascinating surface properties, making them ideal for water treatment. This review article provides a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in polysulfone-derived membranes modified with graphene oxide, including their separation performance, antifouling effect, and ability to separate and degrade organic pollutants. Additionally, the review article covers membrane performance for filtration of organic dyes, metal ions, radionuclides and salts from contaminated water. The review article also highlights simulation or computational studies and concludes by discussing the challenges and prospects of GO–PSF derived membranes for water remediation.
