  • Publication number: 20230338905
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a polyamide reverse osmosis membrane including a porous support; a polyamide layer which is formed on at least one surface of the porous support; a fouling resistant layer which is formed on the polyamide layer; and a protective coating layer which is formed on the fouling resistant layer and linked by cross-linking with the fouling resistant layer, and more specifically to a polyamide reverse osmosis membrane having excellent durability and antifouling properties in which antifouling properties are improved, but there is no decrease in flow rate and salt removal rate, and there is little decrease in physical properties due to fouling and little change over time due to a preservation solution, and chlorine durability is also excellent.

  • Patent number: 10040031
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a high-flux forward osmosis membrane assembly and a forward osmosis module using the same, and more specifically, to a forward osmosis membrane assembly capable of improving the flux inside an osmosis membrane and simultaneously promoting uniform flux along a fluid flow route by forming more channels inside the osmosis membrane in order to allow an osmotic action to be smoothly performed even if formed in a spiral wound shape, and minimizing the separation, which could occur, of a different osmosis membrane adhering to each other by minimizing the concentration polarization on the surface of the forward osmosis membrane by increasing the flux on the surface of the osmosis membrane through the promotion of turbulence along the channels and simultaneously forming separate channels inside the osmosis membrane, and a forward osmosis module in which the active area of a separation membrane capable of performing a smooth osmotic action and forming an osmotic pressure gradient is max
