Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine optimal conditions for fabrication of a homemade asymmetric membrane using Poly vinylidene fluoride (PVDF) polymer. PVDF as polymer, Dimethylacetamide (DMAc) as solvent, PEG and LiCl as additives, were used. In this regard, effect of Coagulation Bath Temperature (CBT) and residence time of coagulation (at CBT = 21°C) on Pure Water Flux and Protein Rejection were investigated. The results showed that low coagulation temperature and time decrease, the flux of the membrane while increase the rejection
