Özet
The most substantial factor restricting the extensive application of membrane processes is the fouling problem resulting from the deposition of solutes in water on the surface or within the pores of membranes. The frequently used chemical washing procedure to eliminate the fouling issue causes environmental pollution and shortens the membrane life. In order to overcome these disadvantages, the development of membranes possessing low fouling potential is needed. In recent years, the stimuliresponsive polymers have received attention for developing membranes possessing low fouling potential. The antifouling property of these membranes is controlled through the change in their conformation and hydrophilic/hydrophobic characteristics as a response to change in external stimuli such as pH, temperature and ionic strength. The aim of this study was to design antifouling nanofiltration membranes (NF) using a pentablock copolymer which consists of temperature responsive Pluronic F127 (PEO-b-PPO-b- PEO) in the middle block and pH responsive poly(N,N-(diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (PDEAEM) in the end blocks. Effects of pH and temperature responsiveness on the membrane fouling were investigated. Fouling tendencies of the membranes were evaluated by using Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA), Alginate (ALG) as organic foulant and Escherichia coli (E.coli) as biological foulant. NF membranes were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), contact angle and zeta potential measurements. It was demonstrated that pentablock copolymer coated membranes displayed antifouling resistance by changing filtration pH and temperature.
