Determination of Water Vapor Sorption and Some Transport Parameters for the Aromatic Polyamide Layer of Ro Membranes

چکیده
This paper reports the isolation of individual layers in a thin composite reverse osmosis membrane. Unlike previous studies where the active layer has always been isolated on top of a solid support, we were able to obtain layers of unsupported active layer. These layers were characterised for their thickness, water vapour sorption and salt transport properties.

Effect of Organoclay on the Performance of Reverse Osmosis Membrane
This study investigated the effect of Cloisite15A (C15A) organoclay in the substrate layer on the performance of reverse osmosis (RO) membranes. The substrate of the RO membranes was modified using different loading of C15A (ranging from 0.3 - 0.7 wt%) within polysulfone (PSf) substrate and the polyamide (PA) selective layer was formed on the top. Effect of the modified substrate layer on the w...

Reverse osmosis (RO) is a water purifcation technology that uses a semipermeable membrane to remove ions, molecules, and larger particles for the production of drinking water. The frst RO membrane for seawater desalination, wastewater treatment and other applications were made of cellulose acetate. But, the polyamide thin-flm composite membrane that can tolerate wide pH...

The performance of commercial composite reverse osmosis membranes has been continuously improving, since its introduction in the late seventies. An additional significant improvement of membrane performance has been achieved at the beginning of 1995, when new composite polyamide brackish water RO membrane technology has been introduced. The new membrane material is characterized by a very high ...

Several novel composite membranes were prepared to separate and recycle amoxicillin from pharmaceutical wastewater via nanofiltration process. The synthesis of these membranes included three stages: 1- preparation of polysulfone ultrafiltration membranes as a support via phase separation process, 2- modification of its surface by interfacial polymerization as a selective layer (polyamide), and ...
متن کاملEffect of Iodination on Nf270 Nanofiltration Membrane Structure and Performance by Gabrielle A. Levato
Previous research on free chlorination and chloramination of nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) polyamide membranes has conclusively shown that these water disinfectants damage the structural integrity of membranes and adversely affect their performance. Secondary oxidants formed from reactions of chlorine disinfectants with bromide and iodide ions have also been found to transform th...
