Preparation of low-pressure water softening hollow fiber membranes by polyelectrolyte deposition with two bilayers. Desalination, 344, 64-70. | Series/Report no.: | Desalination | Abstract: | The layer-by-layer (LBL) polyelectrolyte deposition was applied on polyethersulfone (PES) hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane to prepare nanofiltration (NF) membrane for low pressure water softening application for the first time. The effects of polyelectrolyte type and molecular weight (MW), deposited bilayer number, polyelectrolyte solution pH and supporting electrolyte concentration on the performance of resultant membranes were studied thoroughly. Experiments revealed that the pH of the polyelectrolyte solution and supporting electrolyte concentration presented the most notable effects. For weak poly-cations, Poly(ethylenimine) (PEI) and Poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH), the solution pH affected the membrane performance significantly, and high water permeability and divalent cation rejection were obtained at optimum pH values. Using a low concentration of supporting electrolyte at underneath layers was proved to be an effective way to increase water permeability while maintaining high salt rejection. A salt water flux (SWP) of 12 LMH/bar and 94% Mg2 + rejection was obtained by depositing only two bilayers of PSS/PAH polyelectrolytes on the PES substrate, while for the 3000 ppm mixed salt solution, the water permeability was 11 LMH/bar with Mg2 + and Ca2 + rejection as high as 90%. These promising results demonstrate that LBL technique is potentially applicable for preparing low-pressure water softening hollow fiber membranes. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/80043 http://hdl.handle.net/10220/19596 |
