Abstract

The invention relates to the use of membranes formed from blends of a fluoropolymer matrix with polyelectrolytes and/or compatible hydrophilic polymers. The membranes are useful in water purification, and especially for purification of brackish and high saline content waters. The membranes can provide energy savings in a reverse osmosis (RO) system by requiring less back pressure. The membranes also offer a high degree of chemical resistance, including resistance to sodium hypochlorite, chlorine dioxide and hydrogen peroxide.
