Cellulose Acetate Nanofiltration Membranes for Cadmium Remediation

Ounifi and colleagues evaluated cellulose acetate nanofiltration membranes for cadmium removal from model water.

Overview

Ounifi and colleagues evaluated cellulose acetate nanofiltration membranes for cadmium removal from model water. This is in-scope lane a2 remediation evidence and not food or salt occurrence evidence.

Key numbers

The introduction cites prior studies reporting cadmium concentrations up to 5 ppm in polluted water. The experiments tested feed concentrations from 10-4 to 10-2 mol.L-1 and transmembrane pressures from 2 to 14 bar.

The conclusion reports cadmium rejection up to 98% for the prepared cellulose-acetate nanofiltration membranes.

Methods (brief)

The study prepared cellulose acetate nanofiltration membranes and tested their hydraulic permeability and cadmium rejection under varying pressure, feed concentration, and ionic-strength conditions. Membrane performance and ion rejection were analyzed through the tables and discussion in the extracted PDF text.

Implications

Certification: Not product-occurrence evidence.

Courses: Useful membrane-remediation case for cadmium removal from contaminated water streams.

App: Context only.

Verification notes

Recovered from skip:not-food-occurrence under the 2026-06-10 inclusion-by-default rule. The old skip dropped the paper because it lacked finished-food numbers; on re-read it is in-scope lane a2 remediation evidence.
