In the present study, treatment of spent wash from distilleries was studied using graphene oxide (GO) flakes incorporated in polyethersulfone (PES) mixed matrix membranes (MMMs). Two different additives such as polyacrylic acid (PAA) and lithium chloride (LiCl) were also used separately in the casti...
