โฆ Synopsis
Experimental data on reverse osmosis using a sodium chloride solution by cellulose triacetate membranes are presented. The investigation involved studies on the composition of membrane casting solutions and their effects on the performance. A higher polymer concentration (ll-13%) is found suitable for production of a uniform and highly salt rejecting membrane. Salt rejection of 99.0% and 4-5 GFD product water flux were obtained at 1000 psi operating pressure using 30,000 ppm TDS seawater in the initial experiments.
