Abstract :This study aimed to investigate the effect of Gadolinium oxide insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Gd2O3); concentration insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.5%, 1%, and 2%); on the performance of polysulfone insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PSF); membrane. The membranes were fabricated by a common phase inversion method. The performance of membranes was determined based on pure water flux, bovine serum albumin insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(BSA); permeation test. These fabricated membranes were characterized by FTIR and contact angle measurements. The highest BSA rejection was 53%. The optimum membrane insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2 % wt Gd2O3 /17 % wt PSF); in this study was determined by PSF 17% which successfully exhibited 53% rejection with filtrate flux for about 8.7 L/m2.h at a pressure of 10 bar.
