Surface modification with D-glucamine enhances organic solvent reverse osmosis (OSRO) membranes. The improved OSRO membranes show high permeance, stability, and solvent tolerance for green chemical separations.

Area of Science:

Membrane Science and Technology
Green Chemistry
Separation Processes

Background:

Organic solvent reverse osmosis (OSRO) is a promising low-energy technology for separating organic mixtures.
Developing OSRO membranes with high permeance and stability is a significant challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a surface modification strategy for crosslinked polyimide-supported polyamide OSRO membranes.
To improve membrane performance and stability using D-glucamine.

Main Methods:

Surface modification of polyamide membranes using a D-glucamine/ethanol solution.
Characterization of membrane hydrophilicity via water contact angle measurements.
Evaluation of membrane performance in terms of permeance, salt rejection, and solvent stability.

Keywords:

Main Results:

Optimized membrane (TFC-D-0.2) showed enhanced hydrophilicity (water contact angle decreased from 52.6° to 36.6°).
Achieved high water permeance (12.84 LMH/MPa) with 98.25% NaCl rejection and excellent pressure resistance (2.5–4.0 MPa).
Demonstrated good solvent tolerance (>96.5% NaCl rejection after 30 days) and stable performance in concentrating ethyl cinnamate/ethanol mixtures (>88% solute rejection).

Conclusions:

D-glucamine surface modification is an effective strategy for developing high-performance OSRO membranes.
The modified membranes offer enhanced hydrophilicity, permeance, stability, and solvent tolerance.
This approach holds potential for sustainable separation processes in the fine chemical industry.
