Highly chlorine-tolerant polymers for desalination

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › Research › peer-review

Abstract

(Figure Presented) Get the salt out: Conventional polyamide desalination membranes suffer from low chlorine tolerance, leading to short membrane life. Using newly synthesized sulfonated copolymers prepared by direct copolymerization of disulfonated monomer, chlorine-tolerant desalination membranes (see picture) showing high flux and high salt rejection were developed.
