New dope formulation was synthesized to fabricate an antibacterial and antifouling hollow fiber (HF) membrane using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA-.zinc oxide (ZnO) blend, mediated by lithium chloride (LiCl). Study was done between neat polyethersulfone (PES), PES-ZnO, PES-PVA, and PES-PVA-ZnO membrane samples. The addition of PVA improved the antifouling properties with the lowest recorded relative humic acid flux (HAF) above 0.95. On the other hand, PVA-ZnO incorporation improved the humic acid rejection up to 96.03 ± 1.07%. Minimal bacterial formation was found on ZnO present sample surfaces, suggesting superior antibacterial properties.
