Description
Inorganic fouling is recognized as a serious challenge in different membrane desalination technologies. It not only reduces the permeate flux and membrane productivity but also significantly decreases the membrane lifespan and increases the energy and feed pressure requirement, and replacement costs. The prepared membrane was characterized systematically by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, contact angle, and scanning electron microscope . SEM examinations on membrane samples showed that the membrane surface was entirely covered by a thin layer of sludge-type deposits. The aqueous solutions have been examined in a laboratory reverse osmosis cell for calcium carbonate precipitation. The membrane had a high reject ratio of 98.850.18% that enhanced the efficiency of its antifouling efficiency.
