PVA/PEG - TEOS hybrid membrane for permeation of crude glycerol / Norin Zamiah Kassim Shaari

Purification of crude glycerol by employing membrane separation as a mechanism involved in the process had been widely conducted due to its environmentally process and sustainability of energy. Realizing that hybrid membrane has better thermal and mechanical stability as well as better processing fl...
