Abstract
The surface force-pore flow (SF-PF) model of reverse osmosis transport and the extended and modified form (the MD-SF-PF model) have been employed to predict the performance of four aromatic polyamide (FilmTec, FT30)reverse osmosis membranes. The evaluation is based on a comparison of model predictions with experimental data. Dilute sodium chloride-water solution experimental data were used to estimate model parameters. The models are then used to predict flux and separation at various operating pressures and concentrations. Membrane performance (i.e., separation and permeate flux) can be well predicted by the MD-SF-PF model while the SF-PF model predicts the performance for the sodium chloride system less satisfactorily.Keywords
