Abstract

Nanofiltration membranes were prepared based on coating a sulfonated comb-like copolymer layer on top of a poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) support. The comb-like copolymer comprising poly(vinyl chloride) backbone and poly(styrene sulfonic acid) side chains, i.e. PVC-g-PSSA was synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) using direct initiation of the secondary chlorines of PVC. The successful synthesis of graft copolymers were confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance ($^1H$-NMR), FT-IR spectroscopy and wide angle X-ray scattering (WAXS). Composite nanofiltration membranes consisting PVC-g-PSSA as a top layer exhibited the increase of both rejections and solution flux with increasing PSSA concentration. This performance enhancement is presumably due to the increase of SO3H groups and membrane hydrophilicity. The rejections of composite membranes containing 71 wt% of PSSA were 88% for $Na_2SO_4$ and 33% for NaCl, and the solution flux were 26 and $34L/m^2h$, respectively, at 0.3 MPa pressure.

폴리비닐리덴플로라이드(PVDF) 지지체 위에 빗살모양의 술폰화된 공중합체를 코팅하여 나노 분리막을 제조하였다. 빗살모양의 공중합체는 원자전달 라디칼 중합법(ATRP)에 의해 제조하였으며, 폴리비닐클로라이드의 주사슬과 폴리스티렌 술폰산(PSSA)의 곁사슬로 구성되어 있다. 핵자기 공명법($^1H$-NMR), FT-IR분광학 그리고 WAXS 분석법에 의해 공중합체가 성공적으로 합성되었음을 확인하였다 PVC-g-PSSA로 구성된 복합 나노 분리막은 PSSA의 함량이 증가함에 따라 플럭스와 배제율 모두 증가하였다. 이러한 성능 향상은 분리막의 술폰산의 함량의 증가로써 설명할 수 있다. PSSA가 71wt%첨가된 나노 복합막의 배제율은 $Na_2SO_4$ 88%, NaCl 33%을 나타내었고, 플럭스는 $Na_2SO_4$ 26, NaCl $34L/m^2 h$을 각각 나타내었다.
