Effects of sodium bicarbonate and co-amine monomers on properties and performance of thin film composite membrane for water and wastewater treatment by Origomisan, John Ogbe

“…The chemical composition and morphology of the resultant TFC membranes were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), surface chemistry through attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared analysis (ATR-FTIR) and hydrophilicity through contact angle measurement. Results showed that polymerization successfully took place forming a thin PA layer on the support membrane pore size within the range of NF. 0.5 wt% NaHCO3 was the best loading to improve membrane water permeability without really affecting Na2SO4 rejection. …”
