Preparation of Sodium Lignin Sulfonate Modified Polysulfone Membranes and Their Use as Supports for Forward Osmosis Membranes
Forward osmosis (FO) becomes an emerging and promising platform of membrane separation technology. Nevertheless
FO processing always suffers from poor water flux performance
resulted from internal concentration polarization (ICP). Herein
to improve the hydrophilicity of polysulfone (PSf) membranes
sodium lignin sulfonate (LS) was used as a hydrophilic additive to prepare LS/PSf blend membranes by phase inversion. The LS/PSf blend membranes can serve as the hydrophilic support layer of FO membranes in order to weaken the ICP. The effects of LS content on the structure and the properties of LS/PSf blend membranes were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM)
FTIR/ATR spectroscopy
and water contact angle (WCA). It was shown that the finger-like pores of LS/PSf blend membranes became long and narrow
and the WCA of the membrane was reduced to 65° with LS content of 0.4 wt%. Then
thin film composite (TFC) membranes were fabricated by interfacial polymerization on PSf membrane and LS/PSf blend membrane with LS content of 0.4 wt%
which were named TFC and TFC-LS0.4 membranes
respectively. The results from FTIR/ATR spectroscopy and SEM confirmed that polyamide (PA) films were formed with a typical "ridge-valley" surface morphology on both TFC and TFC-LS0.4 membranes. Moreover
the PA film of TFC-LS0.4 membrane was rougher and thicker than that of TFC membrane. Their FO performances were characterized by FO test
where the draw solution was 0.5
1.0
1.5 or 2.0 mol/L NaCl solution
and the feed solution was DI water. The water flux and reverse salt flux increased with the concentration of draw solution both for TFC and TFC-LS0.4 membranes. With the same draw solution
TFC-LS0.4 membrane showed a larger water flux and reverse salt flux than TFC membrane. Furthermore
reverse osmosis test was conducted to study the transport properties and structural parameters of FO membranes. It is clear that TFC-LS0.4 membrane presented higher water permeability (
A
=3.12×10

) with smaller structural parameter (
S
=2010μm) than TFC membrane (
A
=0.76×10
-5
LMH·Pa

S
=3450μm). It means that the hydrophilicity of LS/PSf blend membranes facilitated the weakening of ICP effects of FO membranes.
