Heat Curing

Electrospun nanofiber with interconnected porous structure has been studied as a promising support layer of polyamide (PA) thin-film composite (TFC) forward osmosis (FO) membrane. However, its rough surface with irregular pores is prone to the formation of a defective PA active layer after interfacial polymerization, which shows high reverse salt leakage in FO desalination. Heat-curing is beneficial for crosslinking and stabilization of the PA layer. In this work, a nanofiber-supported PA TFC membrane was conceived to be cured on a hot water surface with preserved phase interface for potential “defect repair”, which could be realized by supplementary interfacial polymerization of residual monomers during heat-curing. The resultant hot-water-curing FO membrane with a more uniform superhydrophilic and highly crosslinked PA layer exhibited much lower reverse salt flux (FO: 0.3 gMH, PRO: 0.8 gMH) than that of oven-curing FO membrane (FO: 2.3 gMH, PRO: 2.2 gMH) and achieved ∼4 times higher separation efficiency. It showed superior stability owing to mitigated reverse salt leakage and osmotic pressure loss, with its water flux decline lower than a quarter that of the oven-curing membrane. This study could provide new insight into the fine-tuning of nanofiber-supported TFC FO membrane for high-quality desalination via a proper selection of heat-curing methods.

Trimesoyl Chloride

Thin-film composite (TFC) polyamide membranes formed through interfacial polymerization can function more efficiently by tuning the chemical structure of participating monomers. Accordingly, three kinds of diamine monomers were considered to take part in interfacial polymerization. Each diamine was reacted with trimesoyl chloride (TMC) to manufacture TFC polyamide nanofiltration (NF)-like forward osmosis (FO) membranes. The diamines differed in chemical structure; the functional group present between the terminal amines was classified as follows: aliphatic group of 1,3-diaminopropane (DAPE); cyclohexane in 1,3-cyclohexanediamine (CHDA); and aromatic or benzene ring in m-phenylenediamine (MPD). For FO tests, deionized water and 1 M aqueous sodium sulfate solution were used as feed and draw solution, respectively. Interfacial polymerization conditions were also varied: concentrations of water and oil phases, time of contact between the water-phase solution and the membrane substrate, and polymerization reaction time. The resultant membranes were characterized using attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and surface contact angle measurement to identify the chemical structure, morphology, roughness, and hydrophilicity of the polyamide layer, respectively. The results of FO experiments revealed that among the three diamine monomers, CHDA turned out to be the most effective, as it led to the production of TFC NF-like FO membrane with optimal performance. Then, the following optimum conditions were established for the CHDA-based membrane: contact between 2.5 wt.% aqueous CHDA solution and polysulfone (PSf) substrate for 2 min, and polymerization reaction between 1 wt.% TMC solution and 2.5 wt.% CHDA solution for 30 s. The composite CHDA-TMC/PSf membrane delivered a water flux (Jw) of 18.24 ± 1.33 LMH and a reverse salt flux (Js) of 5.75 ± 1.12 gMH; therefore, Js/Jw was evaluated to be 0.32 ± 0.07 (g/L).

Thin Film Composite

Nowadays, wide applications of forward osmosis (FO) technology have been huge attention in solving the water shortage problems. Hence, the performance of thin film composite (TFC) forward osmosis membrane via interfacial polymerization (IP) was studied. 2% and 1% w/v of piperazine (PIP) and 0.15% w/v of trimesoyl chloride (TMC) were reacted with 3 different reaction time (60s, 30s, and 10s). The fabricated membranes were then characterized by FTIR, contact angle measurement and FESEM. Pure water flux, humic acid rejection (represent NOM) and salt leakage were evaluated to obtain the best polyamide FO membrane. The results demonstrated that polyamide FO membranes fabricated with 2% w/v possess a higher hydrophilic properties compared to 1% w/v. In addition, regardless of monomer concentrations, at longest reaction time (60s), there is no significant change in water flux. Membrane fabricated at 60s of reaction time exhibited water flux of 1.90 LMH and 1.92 LMH for 2% w/v and 1% w/v of PIP concentrations, respectively. The same trend also observed for humic acid rejection (93.9%-94.6%). The salt leakage test revealed that the minimum salt reverse diffusion (0.01-0.02 GMH) could be achieved for membrane fabricated at longest reaction time of 60s for both PIP concentrations. As conclusion, manipulating monomer concentrations and reaction time is the main key to obtain an optimal polyamide layer with high membrane performance covering higher water flux, higher removal of humic acid and lower reverse salt diffusion.
