Experimental study of the effects of hypochlorite on polysulfone membrane properties
نویسندگان
چکیده
Although chemical solutions are widely employed to clean membranes, they can also be responsible for changes in membrane properties. The two major drawbacks are then either the functional properties of the membrane gradually change, so the production can no longer meet requirements in terms of volume or quality, or the membrane simply breaks up (hollow fibers), and the system has to be shut down during maintenance. The aim of this experimental study was to gain a better understanding of the effect of hypochlorite cleaning solutions in different conditions (various pHs and temperatures) on the changes observed on an ultrafiltration hollow fiber membrane made from polysulfone (PSf) and polyvinylpyrrolidone
