Performance of Commercial Asymmetric Cellulose Acetate Membrane Compared to Polydopamine Modified Thin Film Composite Membranes for Forward Osmosis
In forward osmosis applications the cellulose acetate (CA) membrane offers the best performance but carries the limitation of not tolerating a basic feed water. This characteristic eliminates the CA membrane from use with the ammonia-carbon dioxide (NH3-CO2) draw solution. Treatment of conventional reverse osmosis membrane with polydopamine improve...
Cation Exchange in Forward Osmosis: Study of pH Effects and Alternative Selective Layers to Mitigate it
This paper discusses research aimed at reducing cation exchange in Forward osmosis membranes. The effect of pH and modifying the FO membrane are reported....
Where Additive Manufacturing Meets Membrane Technology: Opportunities for Printing Thin Film Composite Membranes
We will present on the value proposition of "printed" membrane materials for desalination applications. In particular, we will focus on the polyamide TFC membrane (RO) that can be printed using an additive approach that enables precise control of thickness and roughness. Through this talk, we will emphasize the opportunities that such a manufacturi...
