Particulates and organic toxins, such as microplastics and dye molecules, are contaminants in industrial wastewater that must be purified due to environmental and sustainability concerns. Carboxylated cellulose acetate (CTA-COOH) nanofibrous membranes were fabricated using electrospinning followed by an innovative one-step surface hydrolysis/oxidation replacing the conventional two-step reactions. This approach offers a new pathway for the modification strategy of cellulose-based membranes. The CTA-COOH membrane was utilized for the removal of particulates and cationic dyes through filtration and adsorption, respectively. The filtration performance of the CTA-COOH nanofibrous membrane was carried out; high separation efficiency and low pressure drop were achieved, in addition to the high filtration selectivity against 0.6-μm and 0.8-μm nanoparticles. A cationic Bismarck Brown Y, was employed to challenge the adsorption capability of the CTA-COOH nanofibrous membrane, where the maximum adsorption capacity of the membrane for BBY was 158.73 mg/g. The self-standing CTA-COOH membrane could be used to conduct adsorption-desorption for 17 cycles with the regeneration rate as high as 97.0 %. The CTA-COOH nanofibrous membrane has excellent mechanical properties and was employed to manufacture a spiral wound adsorption cartridge, which exhibited remarkable separation efficiency in terms of treated water volume, which was 5.96 L, and retention rate, which was 100 %.
