Final Year Project I Defence Proposal

This document outlines a final year project proposal to fabricate and test a multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) based composite membrane for water treatment applications. The objectives are to develop a synthetic membrane combining MWCNT and PVDF, study its properties as a nanofiltration membrane, and apply it in water treatment. The methodology will involve dispersing MWCNT in DMSO, depositing it on a PVDF substrate via sonication and vacuum filtration to create a bucky paper composite membrane. Characterization and testing of the membrane's performance in deionized water and ethanol will provide expected findings on its suitability for water treatment applications.
