Synergy Effect of PEG and LiCl as Additives on PVDF UF Membrane Performance

Abstract:

PVDF flat UF membranes were optimized to get relative high protein rejection with high permeation fluxes. The effects of PVDF content and the additive species on the membrane performance were investigated. The synergy effect between LiCl and PEG_8k can increase the flux remarkably than the single additive. With the increase of PEG_8k content, the synergy effect of LiCl decreased. In addition, when the PEG_8k content was higher than LiCl, the pure water flux was relatively high, while with the increasing of LiCl content, the membrane tensile strength was increased. The addition of PEG_8k and LiCl should constitute an appropriate method to prepare a series of membranes with controlled flux.
