Prediction of reverse osmosis performance of cellulose acetate membrane

This study illustrates the analytical techniques involved in specifying the membrane and outlines the procedure for predicting the reverse osmosis (RO) performance of these membranes using feed solutions, containing either single solutes or mixed electrolytes having a common ion. The scientific basis for such specification and prediction techniques has been extensively discussed in the literature. In the present work, the governing transport equations for RO systems, involving preferential sorption of water at the membrane–solution interface, are utilized.     

High performance forward osmosis cellulose acetate (CA) membrane modified by polyvinyl alcohol and polydopamine

Cellulose acetate (CA) is a low cost and readily available material widely used in forward osmosis (FO) membranes. However, the performance of pure CA membranes is not good enough in salt separation and the traditional modification methods are generally multistep and difficult to control. In this paper, we reported high performance cellulose acetate (CA) composite forward osmosis (FO) membranes modified with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polydopamine (PDA). PVA was first cross-linked onto the surface of CA membranes, and then PDA was coated with a rapid deposition method. The membranes were characterized with respect to membrane chemistry (FTIR and XPS), surface properties comprising wettability (by water contact angle), and osmosis performance. The modified membrane coated by PVA and PDA shown better hydrophilicity and exhibited 16.72 LMH osmotic water flux and 0.14 mMH reverse solute flux with DI water as feed solution and 2.0 M NaCl as draw solution and active layer facing the feed solution. This simple and highly effective modification method makes it as an excellent candidate for further exploration for FO.     

Reverse osmosis with a cellulose acetate membrane in the reverse orientation

Salt rejection curves of CA membranes placed with the porous layer towards the influent side and the skin towards the effluent side show typical maxima. Analysis of these maxima yields information on the salt permeabilities of the porous layer (ω_b) and of the skin (ω_a) in a rather direct way.     

Effect of cellulose acetate/cellulose triacetate ratio on reverse osmosis blend membrane performance

Surface functionalization and modification including the grafting process are effective approaches to improve and enhance the reverse osmosis (RO) membrane performance. This work is aimed to synthesize grafted/crosslinked cellulose acetate (CA)/cellulose triacetate (CTA) blend RO membranes using N-isopropylacrylamide (N-IPAAm) as a monomer and N,N-methylene bisacrylamide (MBAAm) as a crosslinker. The morphology of these membranes was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and their surface roughness was characterized by atomic force microscopy. The performance of these membranes was evaluated through measuring two major parameters of salt rejection and water flux using RO unit at variable operating pressures. It was noted that the surface average roughness obviously decreased from 148 nm for the pure CA/CTA blend membrane with 2.5% CTA to 110 nm and 87 nm for the grafted N-IPAAm and grafted/crosslinked N-IPAAM/MBAAm/CA/CTA-RO membranes, respectively. Moreover, the contact angle decreased from 51.98° to 47.6° and 43.8° after the grafting and crosslinking process. The salt rejection of the grafted CA/CTA-RO membrane by 0.1% N-IPAAm produced the highest value of 98.12% and the water flux was 3.29 L/m²h at 10 bar.     

Effects of organic acids on the performance of cellulose triacetate forward osmosis membrane

Forward osmosis (FO) membrane performance was improved using different organic acids (formic acid, acetic acid, lactic acid) for the addition of the casting solution. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of all the FO CTA membranes exhibited essentially the membranes have a structure of looking like two dense skin layers and a sponge‐like supporting layer. Additionally, based on the surface roughness values analysis of Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), the membranes with lactic acid, with similar roughness to the membranes without any acid, have bigger roughness than the membranes with formic acid or acetic acid. Furthermore, the water flux of membranes with acids has been improved and the reverse salt flux decreased. The membranes with lactic acid, with an outstanding penetration performance, were utilized to test the performance when 1 mol/L sodium chloride (NaCl), magnesium chloride (MgCl₂)_, magnesium sulfate (MgSO₄), and sodium sulfate (Na₂SO₄) were, respectively, as the draw solutions. The results revealed that the membranes have a higher rejection ratio for MgSO₄. Besides, in the process of separating oil–water mixture, the membranes with the organic acids have a better separation efficiency than the membrane without any acid during FO process and the water flux recovery rate could achieve above 90% insuring the membrane anti‐fouling.

Precise measurement of membrane constants of cellulose acetate membranes by direct osmosis tests

A method for the determination of membrane constants by direct osmosis tests was studied using cellulose acetate membranes. A countercurrent type osmosis cell was designed and made for this study, and a method for precise measurements of permeated water and solutes through the membrane was established. Based on the membrane constants derived from direct osmosis tests, membrane performances of cellulose acetate membranes under pressure of 40 atm were predicted. The predicted values were in good agreement with the observed values in reverse osmosis experiments and it was confirmed that membrane performances under pressure could be predicted by the direct osmosis with considerably good accuracy.     

Improved cellulose acetate membranes for reverse osmosis

Performance of cellulose acetate membranes in reverse osmosis varies with the conditions under which they are cast. By varying casting solution composition and holding time in a systematic way, improvement in water flux at a given level of salt rejection has been obtained. Statistically designed experiments have been helpful in optimizing these two variables. A phase diagram of the cellulose acetateformamide-acetone casting system has been determined which gives the region of natural solubility of this three component system.     

Reverse osmosis characteristics of cellulose acetate butyrate membranes

Cellulose acetate butyrate membranes were cast from five different formulations. The pure water flux through the membrane increased with evaporation period. The separation of 4000 ppm NaCl aqueous solution remained unchanged until it reached a critical flux; at that point, separation decreased inversely proportional to the flux. Scanning electron microscope photography of the membranes corresponding to each evaporation period is reported.

Modification of cellulose acetate reverse osmosis membranes by radiation grafting

Large excesses of a chain transfer agent, carbon tetrachloride, were introduced to a recipe for the mutual radiation grafting of styrene to cellulose acetate film. The effect of the carbon tetrachloride on the molecular characteristics as well as the reverse osmosis and time dependent mechanical properties of resulting graft copolymers was determined. Extremely short side chains were generated as a consequence of the high concentrations of chain transfer agent and the composite results further suggest that the morphology of the grafted films is best described as “destructured” or internally plasticized consequent to grafting in the presence of CCl₄. Reverse osmosis fluxes increased with percent graft; salt rejection was high and unaffected by per cent graft up to 40% graft; and the tensile creep under wet conditions was significantly retarded by the grafting. These effects were shown to accrue from grafting per se by control experiments involving α-methylstyrene which will not propagate to form a polymer under these conditions. These results are compared and contrasted with earlier work on grafting in the absence of CCl₄ where long side chains of polystyrene were generated resulting in a structuring of the polymer involving domains of polystyrene-rich material and domains of cellulose acetate rich polymer.
