Abstract

Abstract : The image created by Mohammad Zakaria and colleagues depicts a super‐efficient nanofibrous membrane made of ultra‐fine polypropylene nanofiber. The membrane's compact fibrous mesh structure was created using PP nanofiber, resulting in optimal porosity, good hydrophobicity, and a smaller mean pore size with a narrower distribution. The nanofibrous membrane's filtration performance for dyeing wastewater has also demonstrated the potential for finer PP nanofiber. The developed nanofibrous membrane, which filtered wastewater very close to drinking water, rejected 99.95 percent of the color. The commercial PP membrane, on the other hand, can only reject 17.38 percent of color from wastewater. DOI: 10.1002/app.52657
