Abstract: | Two new series of thin-film composite reverse osmosis membranes have been developed and fabricated into spiral wound modules. The NTR-7100 series membrane is able to desalt sea and brackish water. The NTR-7250 membrane is designed for use at pressures below 20 kg/cm2. The membrane has a very high water permeability and is resistant to chemical and microbiological attack. In particular, the membrane is stable to chlorine, as shown by long-term reverse osmosis tests with tap water containing about 1 ppm of residual chlorine. The membrane has an unusual pattern of solute rejection. Salts containing divalent anions, such as sodium sulphate or magnesium sulfate, are rejected more than 98%; while salts with monovalent anions and bivalent cations, such as magnesium chloride, are rejected about 90% and salts with monovalent anions and cations, such as sodium chloride, are rejected 30–50%. Neutral solutes have relatively high rejection; for example, glucose, 90% and sucrose, <99%. |
