Antifouling performance of spiral wound type module made of carbon nanotubes/polyamide composite RO membrane for seawater desalination

Juan L. Fajardo-Diaz et al.

Summary: The robust nanocomposite reverse osmosis (RO) module, assembled using crosslinked polyamide (PA) and carbon nanotubes (CNT) membranes, showed high salt rejection rates and excellent antifouling behavior in laboratory tests using bovine serum albumin in simulated seawater. The industrial vessel built with CNT-PA nanocomposite modules demonstrated superior antifouling performance and stable operation for over 100 days in pilot-plant tests with real seawater, compared to a commercial antifouling vessel. These CNT-PA nanocomposite RO antifouling modules are ideal for desalination plants, requiring less maintenance and promoting green desalination technology.
