摘要:
An improved composite polyamide membrane and methods of making the membrane are described. This improved membrane is prepared using a cationic polymeric wetting agent in an aqueous solution containing a polyfunctional amine reactant which is interfacially polymerized with an acyl halide to form a thin film polyamide discriminating layer on a microporous support. Alternatively, the wetting agent can be applied directly to the substrate and the interfacial polymerization can occur on said treated substrate. The resulting membrane exhibits an unexpected combination of high water flux, high rejection of divalent anion salts, variable sodium chloride rejection and good caustic resistance at low operating pressures. In one embodiment of this invention, a porous substrate is first treated with an aqueous piperazine solution containing a copolymer of vinylbenzyl dimethyl sulfonium chloride and methacrylic acid and then the coated microporous support is contacted with trimesoyl chloride in an organic solvent.

Reverse osmosis membranes treated with polymers bearing carboxylic acid groups and optionally pendant hydroxyl or amide moieties display enhanced salt rejection and/or increased water flux. This treatment is particularly useful for improving the membrane characteristics of cellulose acetate and polyamide membranes.

摘要:
A novel composite membrane and methods of making the membrane are described. The discriminating layer of the membrane is prepared by reaction of a reactive cationic compound group with a compound bearing a nucleophilic moiety. At least one of the reactants bears an average of two or more reactive groups. The reaction product contains covalent bonds formed via charge eliminating reactions.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the nucleophilic group is anionic and a coacervate is formed initially on a microporous substrate. The resulting membrane may be useful for reverse osmosis, gas or ultrafiltration separations.

摘要:
A microporous polyetheretherketone (PEEK) membrane in the form of films and hollow fibers formed without sulfonating the PEEK polymer. Solid fibers and articles are also claimed. A method of making membranes, fibers and articles from solutions of PEEK in non-sulfonating acid solvents in claimed. Solvents include methane sulfonic acid and trifluoromethane sulfonic acid. Sulfuric acid may be used as a diluent in non-sulfonating amounts. PEEK membranes are used as supports for composite ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis membranes. A method of making membranes, fibers, and articles is also described.
摘要:
A reverse osmosis membrane bearing an ionic complex and a method of making the membrane is described. The ionic complex is formed from a first compound bearing at least one quaternary ammonium or pyridinium group and a second compound bearing at least one sulfonate or carboxylate group. The complex enhances solute rejection of the membrane.
