In this investigation, polyvinylidene fluoride membranes were resulted by a
phase inversion technique with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as an agent to
form pores, as well as n-methyl pyrrolidone as a solvent. In addition, the
effect of PVP concentration (1-4%) was investigated to prepare membranes
with better membrane antifouling performance and characteristics.
Furthermore, functional groups, morphological structures, and membrane
porosity were analysed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR),
scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and membrane porosity calculation. The
surface SEM images revealed that the size of the modified membrane pores
increased. The increase of the PVP concentration added, resulted in the
number of modified membrane pores. FTIR spectra confirmed that PVP
functional groups were dispersed in the PVDF membrane matrix. Optimum pure
water permeability (PWP) of 60 L/(m2•h•bar) was achieved using 3% PVP,
resulting in a humic acid rejection percentage of 80% and a water flux
recovery ratio (FRR) of 85%. These findings indicate that the utilization of
PVP as a pre-forming agent resulted in higher PWP, lower humic acid
rejection, and good antifouling properties.
Keywords: antifouling, porosity, polyvinylidene fluoride, polyvinylpyrrolidone, pure waterpermeability.
