Structure and properties of filtration membranes based on cellulose diacetate with solid fillers.

The results of a pilot study of the structure and properties of cellulose diacetate filtration membranes with solid fillers are reported; thermally treated millet thresh waste (millet glume) was used as a filler. The porosimetric parameters of the initial polymer and solid fillers, the rheological properties of molding solutions, and the operational characteristics of the resulting composite membranes were determined.
