A comparison of membrane properties was investigated. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX) were used to determine the morphology and chemical composition of the prepared membranes. Furthermore, the fouling analysis of the non-magnetized and magnetized Fe3 O4-PES membranes were also conducted through the filtration study. The pure water flux of membranes increased from 158.49±11.96 L/m2·hr (neat PES) to 187.06±6.54 L/m2·hr (magnetized Fe3 O4-PES). These results showed that the magnetized Fe3 O4-PES membrane not only had the high pure water flux but also had a high HA rejection and good antifouling ability. As such, magnetized Fe3 O4-PES membrane had excellent comprehensive properties which could use for water remediation. © 2022 Trans Tech Publications Ltd, Switzerland. publisher: Trans Tech Publications Ltd date: 2022 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Tan, N.N. and Ng, Q.H. and Enche Ab Rahim, S.K. and Heah, C.W. and Chew, T.L. and Hoo, P.Y. and Sigit, T.W.
