Surface Modification of CTA FO Membrane by scarface19840403 is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This research investigates the effects of CO2 plasma treatment on cellulose triacetate (CTA) membranes to enhance their hydrophilicity and reduce fouling in forward osmosis (FO) processes. The study found that optimal conditions for plasma treatment were at 20 W for 10 minutes, resulting in a significant reduction of the contact angle from 64.04º to 9.38º, indicating improved hydrophilicity. However, the treatment also led to decreased water flux and increased salt leakage, suggesting a trade-off between hy
