Advanced Oxidation Processes Coupled to Nanofiltration Membranes with Catalytic Fe0 Nanoparticles in Symmetric and Asymmetric Polyelectrolyte Multilayers

The in situ synthesis of Fe0 particles using poly-(acrylic acid) (PAA) is an effective tool for fabricating catalytic membranes relevant to advanced oxidation processes (AOPs).Through their synthesis in polyelectrolyte multilayer-based nanofiltration membranes, it becomes possible to reject and degrade organic micropollutants simultaneously.In this
