Ultra-low pressure water softening: a new approach to membrane construction

Abstract

The ultra-low pressure water softening properties of a series of novel membranes containing cross-linked poly(4-vinylpyridinium) salts incorporated into the pores of polyethylene or polypropylene microfiltration membranes have been examined. It has been shown that these membranes exhibit excellent separation properties with high permeabilities at low trans-membrane pressures. The separation mechanism in these pore-filled membranes is primarily …
