Performance and Structure of Thin Film Composite Reverse Osmosis Membranes Prepared by Interfacial Polymerization in the Presence of Acid Acceptor
During interfacial polymerization (IP) reaction between m-phenylenediamine (MPDA) and trimesoyl chloride (TMC), a by-product, i.e. hydrochloric acid can produce. This produced acid diffuses back in aqueous phase and protonates MPDA and reduces its reactivity that results in lowering of polymer yield and performance of membrane. Further, for getting consistency in reverse...
متن کاملEffects of Polysulfone (PSf) Support Layer on the Performance of Thin-Film Composite (TFC) Membranes
The performance of thin-film composite (TFC) membranes was related to the properties of support layers. In this study, polysulfone (PSf) membranes formed by the phase inversion process under various concentrations of PSf and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) additive were used as support layers to prepare polyamide (PA) TFC membranes by the interfacial polymerization (IP). The effects of PSf and PVP c...
متن کاملHigh performance thin-film composite forward osmosis membrane.
Recent studies show that osmotically driven membrane processes may be a viable technology for desalination, water and wastewater treatment, and power generation. However, the absence of a membrane designed for such processes is a significant obstacle hindering further advancements of this technology. This work presents the development of a high performance thin-film composite membrane for forwa...
متن کاملComposite Polyamide Reverse Osmosis (RO) Membranes – Recent Developments and Future Directions
Thin Film Composite – Polyamide (TFC-PA) are commonly used reverse osmosis (RO) membranes in water desalination and waste water applications. Their poor chlorine tolerance and fouling characteristics constrain the life and performance leading to stringent chemical pretreatment requirements. In this context, development of fouling resistant and chlorine tolerant RO membranes would be relevant to...
متن کاملThin-film composite pressure retarded osmosis membranes for sustainable power generation from salinity gradients.
Pressure retarded osmosis has the potential to produce renewable energy from natural salinity gradients. This work presents the fabrication of thin-film composite membranes customized for high performance in pressure retarded osmosis. We also present the development of a theoretical model to predict the water flux in pressure retarded osmosis, from which we can predict the power density that ca...
