I am looking for scientific reports (other than published papers and patents) on membranes which is highly chlorine resistance for reverse osmosis application.
Usually these kinds of reports are for Internal Use only, unless either patent is obtained or a paper is published. I worked for over 20 years for the ALBERTA RESEARCH COUNCIL, Edmonton, that was the rule. I believe other organizations in different countries obey similar procedure. But I may be mistaken, Good Luck.
Here are some suggestions for chlorine-resistant RO membranes:
Use Chlorine-Tolerant Materials: Some polymers are more resistant to chlorine. For example, membranes made from chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) or polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) may offer improved resistance compared to traditional polyamide.
Surface Modification: Surface treatments or coatings can be used. This might include graftingor coating the membrane with a chlorine-resistant material or using plasma treatments to modify the surface.
Incorporate Nanomaterials: Carbon nanotubes or graphene oxide added into RO membranes is also another possibility. These materials can be incorporated into the membrane structure to create a barrier to chlorine attack.
Use Hybrid Membranes: Combine inorganic materials (such as zeolites or ceramics) with organic polymers can improve resistance. The inorganic components can provide a barrier to chlorine, while the organic components provide the desired permeability and selectivity.
It's worth noting that the selection of an RO membrane involves a trade-off between various factors, including chlorine resistance, permeability, selectivity, and cost.
