PDVF membrane incorporated with CuO nanoparticles can be suitable for what degradation ?
Paola Bernardo
CuO can degrade dyes as methyl orange and coomassie blue.
However, the behaviour of the nanopartcicles can be not fully exploited when they are incorporated into a polymeric matrix. See the paper
'The catalytic degradation of dyes using polyethersulfone/poly(vinylidene fluoride)/copper oxide composite nanofibers', by O. Mapazi et al. (2023) https://doi.org/10.1002/app.53679

Water Treatment:Removal of organic pollutants: PVDF/CuO membranes can be effective in degrading and removing organic contaminants such as dyes, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals from water sources. Disinfection: CuO nanoparticles have antibacterial properties, making the membrane suitable for disinfection processes by degrading bacteria and viruses. Wastewater Treatment:Heavy metal removal: CuO nanoparticles can adsorb and degrade heavy metals in wastewater, making the membrane suitable for industrial wastewater treatment. Oil and grease removal: PVDF/CuO membranes can assist in separating and degrading oil and grease from wastewater. Air Filtration:Air pollution control: PVDF/CuO membranes can be used in air filtration systems to capture and degrade harmful air pollutants, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and particulate matter. Oil Spill Cleanup:CuO nanoparticles can aid in the degradation of oil and hydrophobic organic compounds in water, which can be beneficial for oil spill cleanup efforts.
