Temperature effects on the performance of thin-film composite, aromatic polyamide membranes

“…This paper is concerned with the effects of temperature on the performance of thin-film composite, reverse-osmosis membranes. It has been widely noted that temperature has significant effects on the performance of reverse-osmosis membranes (Lonsdale et al, 1965; Govindan and Sourirajan, 1966;Agrawal and Sourirajan, 1969;Ohya and Taniguchi, 1974; Burghoff and Pusch, 1976;Saltonstall, 1976; Brandon and Samfield, 1978; Cadotte et al, 1980;Kimura and Nomura, 1981; Chen et al, 1983; Dale and Okos, 1983; Kurihara et al, 1983). FilmTec Corporation has also noticed that, in the field, temperature has a large effect on the flux and separation of FT30 polyamide membranes (Cadotte et al, 1980).…”
