Fabrication of Nanofiber Filtration Membranes Using Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET): A Review

Hamidreza Kamrani*, Ataollah Nosrat

Application of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) in membrane technology for fabrication of nanofiber filtration membranes for water treatment has gained increasing attention in recent years. Some new studies focusing on the application of recycled PET nanofibers in membrane structure have also been reported. Currently, many different chemical and physical methods are being used for water purification. However, membrane technology is becoming more popular and desirable in both domestic and industrial applications. This mini review paper aims to summarize (i) recent developments in synthesis of nanofiltration membranes using PET nanofibers, (ii) some of their different applications for water treatments, and also (iii) survey a new method in membrane fabrication technology for the first time using electrospining technique coupled by Vortex Fluidic Device (VFD) as a new platform for the better membrane fabrication process.
