Synthesis and characterization of ZIF-8-based PVDF mixed matrix membranes and application to treat pulp and paper industry wastewater using a membrane bioreactor

The metal–organic framework (MOF) zinc imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) is synthesized by a solvothermal method and added into a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane to study its pollutant removal performance using pulp and paper industry wastewater.
