In contrast to a neutral membrane, the positively charged forward osmosis membrane provides double electric repulsions to the salt transfer through the membrane in the active layer facing feed water configuration. This results in a reduction of the salt penetration, while in the active layer facing draw solution config-...

Figure 16.18 Flux performance of 2 commercially available RO membranes from GE Water (AG, CE) and a cellulose triacetate forward osmosis membranes from Hydration Technology Innovations (CTA). The draw solution used was a 6M ammonia-carbon dioxide solution and the feed solution was a 0.5M sodium chloride solution. The temperature of the test was 50°G Reprinted from REF16-B7. Tests were done in a custom built, crossflow, benchtop FO testing system.

In liquid separation, hollow fiber membranes based on PBI have shown excellent performance for pervaporation dehydration of organic liquids. For example, a dual layer PEI-PBI hollow fiber membrane with an outer selective layer of PBI showed better performance than most other polymeric membranes in pervaporation dehydration of ethylene glycol. Sulfonation modifications of PBI membranes have demonstrated excellent separation efficacies in the dehydration of acetic acid. Studies have shown that PBI hollow fiber membranes were effective in separating chromates from solutions. Also, PBI nanofiltration hollow fiber membranes are promising candidates as forward osmosis membranes. In gas separation, recent studies sponsored by the Department of Energy at Los Alamos National Laboratories and SRI International demonstrated potential applications of PBI membranes in carbon capture and Hj purification from synthesis gas streams at elevated temperatures. H2/CO2 selectivity > 40 has been achieved at H2 permeability of 200 GPU at 250°C. ...
