Fabrication of a pilot scale module of thin film composite hollow fiber membrane for osmotic pressure-driven processes

초록

Polyamide thin film composite hollow fiber membranes have advantages in their unique structure compared to flat sheet membranes. This study examined interfacial polymerization methods for fabricating pilot scale hollow fiber membranes (membrane area: 1.2 m(2), number of hollow fiber strands: 1200). For use in osmotic pressure-driven processes, a one-pot hydrophilic interfacial polymerization procedure was developed simultaneously to modify the surface property and synthesize polyamide thin film. With the procedure, a pilot scale module has a water flux of 13 LMH using a draw solution of 0.6M NaCl and a feed solution of distilled water through the design of the module configuration.
