Research Assistant:

Prepared Cellulose acetate (CA) and Polycarbonate (PC) Blend Ultra filtration (UF) membranes with and without additives

Polyethylene Glycol 600 (PEG600) is used as the additive in various concentration such as 0,2.5, 5.0, 7.5, 10 wt% in the total CA/PC wt%.

These membranes were Characterized in terms of Compaction studies, Pure water flux, Water content and Membrane Hydraulic pressure using Ultra filtration set up.

The UF experiments were carried out in a batch type, dead end cell(UF cell S76-400-Model, Spectrum) with a diameter of 76 mm, fitted with Teflon coated magnetic peddle. This cell was connected to a compressor with pressure control valve and gauge through its feed reservoir.

The top surface and cross section of the membranes were examined using Scanning Electron microscope(SEM).

The prepared membranes were subjected to application studies such as protein rejection and metal ion rejection.

The rejection studies were carried out for the evaluation of the performance of membranes.

Compared the performance of CA/PC and CA/PC/PEG600 blend membranes.
