The effect of the amount of pore generating agent (polyvinylpyrrolidone) added to standard polymer membranes containing 18 wt.% of polyethersulfone on the physicochemical properties of the membranes and their capacity for removal of iron and copper ions from the liquid phase was studied. The membranes were obtained by the phase inversion method. The results have shown that the modification of polymer membranes by the use of different amounts of the pore forming agent in their syntheses leads to significant changes in porosity and has beneficial effect on equilibrium water content. The membranes studied were found to show different acid-base surface character, but for all membranes studied, a significant dominance of oxygen groups of acidic character was evidenced. The most effective were the membranes of the lowest content of polyvinylpyrrolidone, while the lowest values of resistance showed the membranes of the highest content of PVP, and so the ones of the greatest porosity.

Peg 600

Flat sheet asymmetric polymeric membranes is prepared by phase inversion method from homogeneous solution of 17.5 wt% cellulose acetate (CA) and sulfonated poly ether ether ketone (SPEEK) with polar solvent of N, N’– dimethylformamide (DMF). The different concentration of polyethylene glycol is used as the polymeric additives in the CA/SPEEK casting solution. The effects of polyethylene glycol 600 (PEG 600) concentration on the structure and performance of CA/SPEEK ultrafiltration membranes were investigated in more detail. The optimal preparation conditions were: 17.5 wt% total polymer composition, 65/35 wt% CA/SPEEK blend composition and 10 wt% PEG 600. The permeation performances of the membranes were evaluated in terms of pure water flux, equilibrium water content, hydraulic permeability, and solute rejection. The morphology and structure of the resulting membranes were observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). CA/SPEEK membranes with higher concentration of 10 wt% PEG have higher PWF and equilibrium water content due to high porosity. With increase in PEG concentration from 0 to 10 wt%, the PWF increases from 129 to 259 lm–2h–1 in 65/35 wt% of CA/SPEEK as blend. When increasing concentration of PEG is substituted for SPEEK in proportion to form a homogeneous blend, the membrane hydraulic resistance reduces from 9.2 to 2.9 kPa/l.m–2.h–1for blend membranes with 0 to 10 wt % PEG 600 at 95/5 wt % CA/SPEEK composition. Solution of proteins of different molecular weight was used to study the permeation performance of prepared membranes using a batch membrane cell of 400 ml capacity.

Blended Membrane

In order to improve the performance of Poly(vinyl chloride)(PVC)/ polyethersulfone (PES) blended membranes, cellulose acetate (CA) was used as a hydrophilic enhancer to blend with PVC and PES for membrane preparation by phase inversion method. In this study, the results of equilibrium water content (EWC), contact angle and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirmed the addition of CA could effectively improve the hydrophilicity of PVC/PES blended membrane. It was also found that water flux of PVC/PES/CA blended membranes increased with the increase of CA concentration.

Membrane is a barrier that separates two phases and limits wholly or partially carrying one or several chemical species present in the phases. In this study, membranes with a polyamide6 porogenic agent were obtained. The membranes were prepared as thin films by phase inversion method using the immersion technique, precipitation by varying the percentage of porogenic agent introduced and the time of exposure of the membranes during the process of immersion-precipitation. The membranes obtained were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). From the SEM photomicrographs, a large morphological change was observed over the entire surface layer of the membranes, significantly affecting the size and number of pores. Furthermore, porogenic agent promoted the formation of pores and the increase in planar microporous membranes obtained.
