Advancing Wastewater Treatment: Optimized Alginate Membranes for Sustainable Purification

Breakthroughs in Alginate Membrane Technology

The Science Behind Alginate Membranes

Alginate, a naturally occurring biopolymer, is derived from brown algae and has gained attention for its biodegradability, mechanical strength, and pollutant filtration capabilities. The latest research focuses on optimizing alginate membrane properties through:

  • Crosslinking techniques (e.g., calcium chloride treatment)
  • Porogen integration for enhanced porosity
  • Biological treatment integration (mycoremediation & phycoremediation)

These modifications improve wastewater filtration, addressing industrial and domestic wastewater challenges efficiently.

Enhanced Performance with External Integrations
