The influence of sodium chloride on mass transfer in a polyamide nanofiltration membrane at elevated temperatures

Nilsson, Mattias LU ; Trägårdh, Gun LU and Östergren, Karin LU (2006) In Journal of Membrane Science 280(1-2). p.928-936
Abstract
The influence of temperature (20-50 degrees C) and NaCl on mass transfer of pure water and glucose solution (0.0055 M) using an Alfa Laval NFT-50 nanotiltration membrane has been investigated. Addition of 0.017 M NaCl(aq) increased the membrane permeability in comparison to measurements with pure water. Performing cyclic temperature variations using a membrane pre-treated with 0.20 M NaC](aq) caused the membrane permeability to decrease for each time a new maximum temperature was reached. After NaCl pre-treatment, the relative flux decline measured over 4 h was found to be greater for glucose than for water, and the rate of the flux decline for both water and glucose increased with temperature (20-50 degrees C). The permeability was found... (More)
The influence of temperature (20-50 degrees C) and NaCl on mass transfer of pure water and glucose solution (0.0055 M) using an Alfa Laval NFT-50 nanotiltration membrane has been investigated.

Performing cyclic temperature variations using a membrane pre-treated with 0.20 M NaC](aq) caused the membrane permeability to decrease for each time a new maximum temperature was reached. After NaCl pre-treatment, the relative flux decline measured over 4 h was found to be greater for glucose than for water, and the rate of the flux decline for both water and glucose increased with temperature (20-50 degrees C). The permeability was found to be unaffected by the pressure if the membrane had previously been rinsed at a lower pressure but at a higher temperature. Changes in permeability due to the presence of NaCl could be related to interactions in the active polymer layer of the membrane. MgCl2 pre-treatment influenced the membrane permeability less that NaCl pre-treatment. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. (Less)
