Abstract
The present invention relates to the preparation of novel antibiofouling Thin Film Composite (TFC) Reverse Osmosis (RO) membranes on porous polysulfone (PSf) support of thickness 30-40 micron. TFC-RO membranes were prepared by interfacial polymerization between neat m-phenylenediamine (MPD) in water and pyridine tricarboxylic acid chloride (PTC) or a mixture containing PTC and trimesoyl chloride (TMC) in mixture of hexane+dichloromethane. The best results in terms of flux, NaCl rejection and antibiofouling property were obtained with 2:3-1:1 weight ratio of PTC to TMC. The present invention also relates to the preparation of antibiofouling TFC membranes by the interfacial polymerization between mixture of melamine+MPD and TMC. The best results in terms of antibiofouling property, NaCl rejection and flux were obtained with 1:1 weight ratio of MPD to melamine.
