- the second coating of the nanostructure formed by primarily coating the surface of the polyamide thin film with an aqueous silane derivative solution, with an aqueous glycidyl compound solution rigidly fixes said nanostructure by being served as a bridge, and helps to reduce fouling of the membrane surface by allowing the hydrophilic groups located on the primarily coated polyamide thin film.

- the MFI can be represented by the above math figure, provided that the thickness of a cake layer formed on the membrane surface (fouling) is in proportion to the filtered amount.
- the flow rate (Q) is obtained by multiplying the measured permeation flux by the membrane area (A).
- the resulted value is multiplied by filtration time (t) to obtain the filtered amount (V).
- t filtration time
- V the slope of t/V to V curve is a MFI value.
- MFI is applied to a reverse osmosis membrane process
- the change in permeation before and after introduction of fouling materials can be expressed as a change in the slope, helping to understand the level of fouling on the reverse osmosis membrane by comparing the slopes.
- the higher the MFI value of a reverse osmosis membrane the greater the membrane fouling occurred.
- the polyamide membrane (CPA2-4040) was not subjected to any surface treatment, but only soaked in distilled water 1 hour or more. Then, its permeation performance was estimated under the same conditions as in test examples 4 to 6. The change in permeation flow rate represented by MFI was disclosed in Table 5.
- the reverse osmosis membranes of the present invention exhibit excellent chlorine and fouling resistance, at the same time.
- the reverse osmosis membranes according to the present invention also show strong resistance to cleaning agents such as sodium hypochlorite(NaOCl) that is generally introduced to reduce the membrane fouling, and are capable of reducing fouling of the membrane surface, thereby being advantageously applicable to a sea water desalination system or ultrapure water system.
