Effect Temperature Treatment on Physicochemical and Water Permeability Properties of Polisulfon Modified Membranes

Abstract

The temperature treatment on casting of Polysulfon (PSF) modified membranes have investigated to study physicochemical and water permeability membrane properties. The PSF modified membranes was prepared by UV-photografting technique with different temperature treatment (25 – 100 oC). The physical and chemical characterization of membranes include functional group analysis, degree of grafting, whereas water permeabily was carried by water flux test. As the result, the functional group analysis showed that there were the new functional group in modified membranes. Increase temperature treatment, increasing degree of grafting, whereas the water flux decrease with increase temperature treatment.
