Polymerization Method

Hollow fiber composite nanofiltration (NF) membranes were prepared by interfacial polymerization method, with polysulfone (PSF) hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane as base membrane, piperazine (PIP) as the aqueous phase monomer and trimesoyl chloride (TMC) as the organic phase monomer. The effects of aqueous phase composition on composite NF were discussed. The experimental results show that the optimum compositions in aqueous phase: 1wt% PIP, 0.05wt% MPDA, 1wt% TEA, 3wt% sulfamic acid. The best rejection to MgSO4 was 94.7%, and water flux was 66.1L•m-2•h-1.

In this study, we report the emergence of two-dimensional (2D) branching fractal structures (BFS) in the nanoconfinement between the active and the support layer of a thin-film-composite polyamide (TFC-PA) nanofiltration membrane. These BFS are crystal dendrites of NaCl formed when salts are either added to the piperazine solution during the interfacial polymerization process or introduced to the nascently formed TFC-PA membrane before drying. The NaCl dosing concentration and the curing temperature have an impact on the size of the BFS but not on the fractal dimension (∼1.76). The BFS can be removed from the TFC-PA membranes by simply dissolving the crystal dendrites in deionized water, and the resulting TFC-PA membranes have substantially higher water fluxes (three- to fourfold) without compromised solute rejection. The flux enhancement is believed to be attributable to the distributed reduction in physical binding between the PA active layer and the support layer, caused by the exertion of crystallization pressure when the BFS formed. This reduced physical binding leads to an increase in the effective area for water transport, which, in turn, results in higher water flux. The BFS-templating method, which includes the interesting characteristics of 2D crystal dendrites, represents a facile, low-cost, and highly practical method of enhancing the performance of the TFC-PA nanofiltration membrane without having to alter the existing infrastructure of membrane fabrication.
