A series of sponge-like polysulfone substrates were fabricated by adjusting the content of PSf and water in the casting solutions. Then
the polyamide reverse osmosis composite membranes were prepared via interfacial polymerization between m-phenylenediamine and trimethyl chloride over the polysulfone substrates. The resulting substrates and reverse osmosis membranes were characterized to investigate the influence of the polysulfone concentration on the substrates properties and the effect of the substrates properties on the polyamide reverse osmosis membranes. The results showed that with increasing PSf concentration
the average surface pore size and porosity of the substrates decreased
and the resistance ability to compaction enhanced. Besides
the reverse osmosis composite membranes prepared by using different PSf substrates showed different flux and salt rejection. Considering the properties of the substrates and the polyamide reverse osmosis composite membranes
sponge-like substrate by using 15%(mass) polysulfone concentration was suitable for the preparation of reverse osmosis composite membrane.
