- Description
- The synthesis of a new β-cyclodextrin-hyperbranched polyethyleneimine (β-CD-HPEI)/polysulfone (PSf) membranes via interfacial polymerization of trimesoyl chloride and β-CD-HPEI is described in this paper. The membranes were characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM), high resolution scanning electron microscopy (HR-SEM) and contact-angle measurements. Water permeability and rejection data were obtained using a cross-flow filtration system at 0.69 MPa. The membranes were hydrophilic (25° to 63°), showed high humic acid rejection (>amp;80%), and maintained a constant flux throughout the filtration. The modified membranes were rougher than the pristine PSf membranes but they exhibited better antifouling properties due to the hydrophilic surface which acted as a barrier against humic acid deposition. The modification of PSf with β-CD-HPEI resulted in enhanced hydrophilicity and water permeability while still maintaining high humic acid rejection.
