Synthesis and characterization of silver titanium dioxide celluloseacetate membrane and their application in waste water treatment

The research will entail the creation of silver titanium dioxide and cellulose acetate membrane. Their applications in wastewater treatment will be assessed. The different methods of preparation will be compared and the most efficient method shall be determined. Tests will be conducted to simulate wastewater treatment. Expected outcomes include: creating silver titanium dioxide and cellulose acetate membrane in the most efficient method; using silver titanium dioxide and cellulose acetate membrane to treat wastewater; develop a new method for cleaning wastewater that can be carried out in a mass-scale. Hopefully, the research will trigger many innovative solutions to not just wastewater treatment but – in the bigger picture – global environmental problems. I hope to expand my current repertoire by increasing my research skills, honing my communication skills, and developing intercultural relationships that last a lifetime.
