James Economy, Jinwen Wang and Chaoyi Ba, Center of Advanced Materials for the Purification of Water with Systems, Department of Materials Science and Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, IL, USA
To be useful in a desalination process, membranes must exhibit a number of characteristics such as high water flux, high salt rejection, mechanical stability, resistance to fouling, and low cost. A number of polymer materials such as cellulose acetates, thin-film composite (TFC) polyamides, cross-linked poly (furfuryl alcohol) and sulfonated polyethersulfone have been investigated for desalination. Of these, cellulose acetates ...
