Abstract

Abstract Enhancement of the hydrophilicity in polymeric membrane materials results in membranes with higher flux and better membrane characteristics. Hence, polysulfone was carboxylated and ultrafiltration membranes were prepared from blends of cellulose acetate and carboxylated polysulfones having various degrees of carboxylation with a total polymer concentration of 20 wt % in casting solution and at different blend polymer compositions. The effects of degree of carboxylation on membrane characteristics such as compaction, pure water flux, and membrane hydraulic resistance ( R m ) have been investigated. The influence of the polymer concentration in the blend solution on the performance of blend membranes at various blend polymer compositions has also been investigated and compared with that of blend membranes prepared from blends of cellulose acetate and polysulfone or carboxylated polysulfone with a total polymer concentration of 17.5 wt %. Further, the solute rejection performance of the membranes has also been investigated by subjecting the membranes to metal ion permeation studies using polyelectrolyte‐enhanced ultrafiltration. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
