| Abstract: | This work is based on studying the effect of different kinds of support on the prepared reverse osmosis membranes. Different kinds of woven and non-woven supports were tested and characterized to select the best one for RO membrane preparation. The prepared membrane on polyester woven support (M1ws) provides 39.9 LMH permeate flux using a piperazine coagulation bath during membrane preparation, while polyester non-woven support (M2ns) exhibits the highest salt rejection percentage, which was 92.2% using a Melamine coagulation bath. The mechanical properties for preparing membranes using supports were arranged in descending order as follows: M1ws > M2ns > M3np. The membrane on polypropylene support (M3np) provides the lowest mechanical properties. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
