Choosing the property of the supporting membrane is crucial in preparing high performing nanofiltration membranes through interfacial polymerization. In this study, an oxygen rich membrane – cellulose triacetate (CTA) – was used to fabricate the support membrane. Polyamide was deposited onto the CTA...
