Preparation and Characterization of a Novel Polyamide Charged Mosaic Membrane

Abstract

Abstract: A novel composite charged mosaic membrane (CCMM) was prepared via interfacial polymerization (IP) of polyamine[poly (epichlorohydrin amine) ]and trimesoyl chloride (TMC) on the polyethersulfone (PES) support. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR),environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM),atomic force microscopy (AFM) and water contact angle analysis were applied to characterize the resulted CCMM.The FT-IR spectrum indicates that TMC reacts sufficiently with polyamine.ESEM and AFM pictures show that the IP process produces a dense selective layer on the support membrane.The water contact angle of the CCMM is smaller than that of the substrate membrane because of the cross-linked hydrophilic polyamine network.Several factors affecting the IP reaction and the performance of the CCMM,such as monomer concentration,reaction time,pH value of aqueous phase solution and posttreatment,were studied.The pure water flux of the optimized CCMM is 14.73 L·m^-2 ·h^-1 ·MPa^-1 at the operating pressure of 0.4 MPa.The values of separation factorαfor NaCl/PEG1000/water and MgC_l2/PEG1000/water are 11.89 and 9.96,respectively.These results demonstrate that CCMM is promising for the separation of low-molecular-weight organics from their salt aqueous solutions.
