Role of Cyclodextrin Cross-Linker Type on Steroid Hormone Micropollutant Removal from Water Using Composite Nanofiber Membrane
Today’s cyclodextrin is about water purification.
What if we could make our water cleaner using a safer, composite nanofiber membrane?
This study investigates how different cross-linkers affect the stability and micropollutant removal efficiency of β-cyclodextrin polymers in composite nanofiber membranes. It finds that triphenylolmethane triglycidyl ether (TPTE) and trimethylolpropane triglycidyl ether (TMTE) are effective alternatives to the more toxic epichlorohydrin (EP) for removing steroid hormones from water.
