Abstract
The feasibility of PES membrane with hydrophobic property, high glass transition temperature, excellent thermal and chemical stability, with good mechanical properties as porous polymeric support was studied in membrane distillation (MD) process. Several strategies were considered and investigated to decrease membrane wetting by keeping up salt rejection and also to improve the permeate flux of PES membrane in the MD process. From this point of view, hydrophobic PMHS polymer with different concentrations was used as a surface coating solution. The morphology and structure of prepared membranes were evaluated by AFM and FESEM analyses. After coating modification, the salt rejection was increased up to 98% and the contact angle was changed from 65.11° to >100.2°. To increase the water flux, the effect of feed temperature (55 °C and 75 °C) and draw solution utilization containing magnetic nanoparticle (Fe3O4) was investigated. Using draw solution provided a driving force from feed solution to permeate side and increased average permeate flux from 2.9 kg/m2·h to 6.9 kg/m2·h in the 0.06 g/l of draw solute concentration. It improved permeate flux and salt rejection simultaneously.
