Chitosan based modified polymers designed to enhance membrane permeation capability

Membranes commonly used for separation processes can be made using phase inversion techniques. This study aims to determine the characteristics of the modified polyethersulfone/polyethilenglycol (PES/PEG) flat membrane using chitosan-succinate in 4 ratio mole made using phase inversion techniques. The results of SEM and BET analysis on membrane morphology prove that the membrane produced is a porous membrane. PES/PEG-CS-Succ membranes have a smaller and more uniform pore structure than. PES membranes. The permeability ability of PES/PEG-CS-Succ membrane is 0,4823 mg/dL and 23,1028 mg/dL, respectively.
