Researchers Produce Graphene Membrane for Dialysis Applications

By definition, dialysis is a process in which molecules are filtered out of a solution by getting diffused through a membrane into a comparatively dilute solution. Apart from hemodialysis in which waste is eliminated from blood, researchers employ dialysis for removing residue from chemical solutions, purifying drugs, and for isolating molecules for medical diagnosis, generally by making the materials to go through a porous membrane.
