Abstract

Conditions for casting high flux tubular and flat cellulose acetate ultra-filtration membranes are given. The usefulness of some of the tubular membranes cast under the above conditions for ultrafiltration applications in industrial water purification and reuse is illustrated. Using ethanol-water mixture as the gelation medium in the temperature range-20° to 30°C, ultrafiltration membranes giving water fluxes in the range <4 to >400 m 3/m 2 day at the operating pressure of 689.5 × 10 3 Pa (100 psig) have been obtained.
