Özet
Here, it was aimed to modify the surface of NF90 with layer by layer (LbL) blended poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH)-chitosan (CHI) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) with/without functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotube (fMWCNT) for reverse-osmosis applications. Using Quartz Crystal Microbalance Dissipation monitoring, it was observed that PAH-CHI/PAA LbL films grew linearly after a few bilayers and no LbL film degradation occurred during synthetic seawater treatment. Thermal degradation of all LbL blended membranes was similar. NF90 had a heterogeneous surface while the surface of LbL blend membranes exhibited some agglomerations due to the polyelectrolyte (PE) complex formation and fibrillary appearance depending on the use of fMWCNT. [(PAH50-CHI50/(PAA-fMWCNT)](30) indicated the highest flux with 14.5 L m(2) h(-1) at 40 bar. The sodium and chlorine ion rejections were 75% and 87%, respectively, for the same membrane. The use of fMWCNT led to a significant enhancement in flux with a slight decay in ion rejections. On the other hand, chlorine ion rejection of [(PAH50-CHI50/(PAA-fMWCNT)](30) decreased by 25% at 40 bar while 60 and 90 bilayers of [(PAH50-CHI50/(PAA-fMWCNT)] disintegrated after NaOCl treatment. Briefly, the flux and ion rejections of the LbL blended membranes can be controlled depending on the use of fMWCNT and different PE couples without multilayer decomposition against synthetic seawater.
