  • Membranes and methods of treating membranes
    Publication number: 20070039874
    Abstract: Membranes as well as a methods of treating membranes are disclosed. The method of treating a membrane includes contacting the membrane with a first solvent, contacting the membrane with an inert solvent, and contacting the membrane with an amine reactive compound. The first solvent includes a solvent having a Hansen solubility parameter in a range from about 10.0 to about 18. The membrane includes a polymer having an amine group.

  • Membrane devices and device components
    Publication number: 20050173333
    Abstract: A membrane device including a first membrane sheet and a second membrane sheet comprised of either two separate sheets or one sheet folded upon itself separated by a permeate carrier. The membrane device utilizes permeate carrier materials that have a lower resistance to flow and therefore provide improved flux and reduced salt passage.
