Composite membranes prepared from poly(vinyl alcohol) and poly(sulfone) were crosslinked with trimesoyl chloride (TMC) solutions. The degree of crosslinking, crystallinity, surface roughness and hydrophobicity of the crosslinked PVA-PSf membranes were determined from attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and contact angle measurements, respectively. Results showed a consistent trend of changes in the physicochemical properties: the degree of crosslinking, crystallinity, surface roughness, hydrophobicity and swelling degree all decrease with increasing crosslinking agent (TMC) concentration and reaction time. The crosslinked membrane performance was assessed with pervaporation dehydration of ethylene glycol solutions at a range of concentrations (30-90 wt% EG) in the feed mixtures. The total flux of permeation was found to decrease, while the selectivity to increase, with increasing TMC concentration and reaction time. The decrease in flux was most prominent at low EG concentrations in the feed mixtures. In addition, the temperature effect on the pervaporation dehydration was investigated in relation to solution-diffusion mechanisms. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
