✦ Synopsis
With the aim of improving properties of cellulose acetate membranes for reverse osmosis desalination, grafting was performed using high energy electrons. In this paper, the grafting parameters (radiation dose and method, monomer concentration, solvents, chain transfer agent and redox system) are considered; conclusions are drawn as to the grafting content and mode of grafting.

Using computerized programs, the water flux and salt rejection properties in reverse osmosis of cellulose acetate-o-acrylamide membranes are determined. Comparisons are made with ungrafted commercial cellulose acetate membranes, using 0.1 and 1.0 M sodium chloride, sodium sulphate and ammonium sulph
Annealing profiles are determined for two sets of cellulose acetate membranes originating from two different casting solution compositions under different casting conditions. The two sets of membranes are characterized by two normal pore size distributions. Membranes exhibiting a narrower gap betwee
Several sets of porous cellulose acetate membranes were made using the same casting solution composition and gelation conditions but varying the casting solution temperature and solvent evaporation conditions. The films were tested in reverse osmosis experiments at 250 psig using aqueous feed soluti
The thermal behaviors of cellulose acetate, either grafted or ungrafted, were studied. A thermogram of cellulose acetate when grafted with acrylamide is characterized by an endothermic peak at 340°C. If, however, styrene is grafted, the thermogram shows two characteristic exothermic peaks at 330 and
