Abstract

Membrane technologies are currently among the most demanded. This is evidenced by their variety and a wide range of membrane applications in the most topical areas of human life. This work proposes a simple and inexpensive method for producing composite membranes for ultrafiltration and nanofiltration with a surface layer of cellulose acetate for water purification and water treatment processes. A nylon microfiltration membrane was used as a membrane base. The surface layer was obtained by immersion in a solution of cellulose acetate in acetone. Composite membranes with different retention properties were obtained depending on the number of deposited layers. The resulting membranes were examined for total porosity, water absorption, cellulose acetate content, contact angle, and IR absorption spectra. The specific productivity of the obtained membranes with respect to distilled water was also established.
