Electrospun NFM is suitable to be used as a filter, especially for water treatment, since it has a huge surface area to volume ratio, high porosity, and great permeability compared to the conventional membranes. These properties also enhance its competitiveness to be used as reverse osmosis pre-treatment, as the final stage of PW treatment water reuse purpose. However, the fouling issue and low mechanical strength of NFM reduces hydraulic performance over time. Therefore, this study employs ZIF-8 as an additive to improve nylon 6,6 NFM properties to reduce fouling and increase membrane tensile strength. Results show that the optimum loading of ZIF-8 was at 0.2. This loading gives the highest oil rejection (89), highest steady-state pure water permeability (1967 L/(m2·h·bar)), 2� higher than untreated nylon 6,6 NFM with tensile strength 5� greater (3743 MPa), and a steady-state permeability of 1667 L/(m2·h·bar) for filtration of real produced water. © 2019 by the authors. date: 2019 publisher: MDPI AG official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85074356783&doi=10.3390%2fw11102111&partnerID=40&md5=b5b38e0e5fe93200463258a3477e1ece id_number: 10.3390/w11102111 full_text_status: none publication: Water (Switzerland) volume: 11 number: 10 refereed: TRUE issn: 20734441 citation: Halim, N.S. and Wirzal, M.D.H. and Bilad, M.R. and Nordin, N.A.H.M. and Putra, Z.A. and Yusoff, A.R.M. and Narkkun, T. and Faungnawakij, K.
