Abstract: A composite polyamide reverse osmosis membrane and method of producing same. In one embodiment, the membrane is made by coating a porous polysulfone support for about 40 seconds with an aqueous solution containing 2 wt % of meta-phenylenediamine (MPD), 1 wt % 1,4-diazabicyclo[2,2,2]octane (DABCO) and 0.85 wt % methanesulfonic acid (MSA). Next, the excess MPD solution is removed, and the coated support is dipped for about 1 minute in 0.1 wt % organic solvent solution of trimesoyl chloride (TMC) in a mixture of alkanes having from 8 to 12 carbon atoms. After draining the TMC solution off, the resulting composite membrane is heated at 90.degree. C. for about 3.5 minutes and then rinsed in a basic aqueous solution at 40-60.degree. C. for 30 minutes. The resultant membrane exhibits a flux of 32.3 gfd and a salt rejection of 97.0% when used at 225 psi for an aqueous solution containing 2000 ppm of NaCl.

Abstract: A method for imparting the multiple functions of water- and oil-repellency, soil-releasing properties and anti-bacterial properties to a mixed or blended fabric is provided including: (a) treating a mixed or blended fabric of polyester/rayon by dipping the mixed or blended fabric in a treating solution which includes, based on the weight of the mixed or blended fabric, 1 to 10 wt. % of phenolic antibacterial agent, 2.5 to 5.0 wt. % of a first fluoric compound, 3.0 to 6.0 wt. % of a second fluoric compound, different from the first fluoric compound, 0.3 to 0.5 wt. % of melamine resin as a cross-linking agent and a buffer, the rate of absorption of treating solution by the mixed or blended fabric being maintained at 50.+-.5%, (b) drying the treated fabric, and (c) thereafter heat treating the treated and dried fabric.
