Filtration membranes are better but so far can\u0026#39;t withstand the harsh conditions and high chemical concentrations found in pulping wastewater. \u0026nbsp;Georgia Institute of Technology researchers have found a method to engineer membranes made from graphene oxide, a chemically resistant material based on carbon, so they can work effectively in industrial applications.
