Mineral scaling caused by multivalent metal ions can significantly hinder the long-term operation of nanofiltration membranes. In this study, in-situ interfacial polymerization including a posttreatment using citric acid solution was employed in order to mitigate on membrane surface. Under optimal conditions (15 min with 2 M solution), water permeance increased from 5.76 ± 0.23 15.1 1.8 L m−2 h−1·bar−1 for pristine and membrane, respectively. The molecular weight cut-off 399 Da, which allows...
In this work, homogeneous, thin-film proton exchange membranes (PEMs) with superior conductivities and high methanol rejection were fabricated via a facile synthesis procedure. Sulfonated polyether ether ketone (sPEEK) was crosslinked Friedel–Crafts reaction by α,α′-dichloro-p-xylene, non-hazardous hydrophobic compound. PEMs varying crosslinking sulfonation degrees to overcome the traditional trade-off between conductivity. The of PEEK at 60 °C for 24 h resulted in degree 56%. Those highly...
