Abstract Scope |
This study presents an advanced hybrid water purification system combining nanofiltration with electrodialysis to address global water scarcity and emerging contaminants like PFAS. The system integrates activated carbon, graphene nanoplatelets, and MXene-based composites into a multifunctional nanofiltration matrix, augmented with electrodialysis for efficient ionic separation and nutrient recovery. Efficacy was assessed using methylene blue as a model contaminant across multiple filtration cycles. A cost-effective prototype for consumer applications was developed. Water quality analysis employed an Oakton PC2700 Benchtop Meter for conductivity, TDS, and pH measurements. UV-Vis spectroscopy quantified solution absorption, while SEM examined filtration matrix microstructure and contaminant adsorption. This electroactive-material-enhanced approach combines nanofiltration and electrodialysis strengths, showing promise for complex water purification challenges, including persistent organic pollutant removal and selective ionic separation. |
