The cellulose triacetate/Ludox-silica nanocomposite pervaporation membranes showed improved water flux and salt rejection at 30 g/L NaCl concentration, making them a promising membrane material for desalination applications.
A series of cellulose triacetate/Ludox-silica nancomposite pervaporation membranes was successfully prepared via solution casting, aiming to improve the performance of cellulose triacetate membranes for desalination. The fabricated nanocomposite membranes were characterized to study the membrane morphology, chemical composition, mechanical properties, and surface hydrophilicity. Furthermore, the desalination performance was investigated as a function of silica (SiO2) loading (ranging from 1 to 4 wt%) and feed concentration at 30 and 60 g/L of sodium chloride (NaCl). Pervaporation experiments showed that incorporating 4 wt% SiO(2)into a cellulose triacetate (CTA) membrane increased the water flux by a factor 2.5 compared with pristine CTA (from 2.2 to 6.1 kg m(-2)h(-1)) for a 30 g/L NaCl feed solution at 70 degrees C, while the salt rejection remained above 99%. The CTA/4 wt% SiO(2)membrane was found to have only 21% flux reduction when tested with a 60 g/L NaCl feed solution, without changes in membrane selectivity. This suggests that the developed CTA/Ludox-SiO(2)nanocomposite pervaporation membrane is suitable for desalination.
