As the pH and concentration of copper were exceeded the allowable limit for effluent discharge for standard B, treatment on the wastewater was given through thin film composites to reflect the integrated complexation process where two types of barrier layers were used and they are membrane from polymer blend Chitosan/Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) and hybrid membrane, respectively. Results showed that composite with hybrid membrane displayed better performance and pH 7 of feed solution was found as the best parameter. ER -
