Abstract :

This study deals with the preparation and characterization of nanofiltration cellulose acetate-based membranes and their application in desalination of waters. Cellulose acetate Nanofiltration (NF) membrane was prepared according to the phase inversion process. Pore size of the prepared membrane was monitored by using dope solutions of different polymer concentrations (weight %) and annealing temperatures from 60-80�°C followed by casting the membrane on polytetraflouroethylene sheets and examining the efficiency of the product. Characterization of the prepared membrane will be carried out using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the hydraulic permeability, water permeation as well as salt rejection rate.
