Development of new pervaporation composite membranes for desalination: Membrane characterizations and experimental permeation data.

ABSTRACT: The data contained in this publication refers to a new approach to design composite pervaporation membranes that could be useful in water treatment. The work is based on the rational prediction of the membrane mass transfer coefficient using the resistance in series model and the corresponding experimental membranes were tested with several aqueous solutions comparatively to a commercially available porous distillation membrane (PVDF). All the related data, i.e. permeation water fluxes and conductivity of the permeate, were collected for hours, in the range 3 to 7 h. The strategy was to develop pervaporation membranes by coating a porous PVDF support (122µm) with various dense layers (hydrophobic polymers: Teflon™ AF2400, PMP, PTMSP). The objective was to avoid definitely the wetting probl
