A preparation method of a polyamide thin film composite reverse osmosis
membrane and a polyamide thin film composite reverse osmosis membrane
prepared using the preparation method are provided. The preparation
method of a polyamide thin film composite reverse osmosis membrane using
interfacial polymerization of an amine aqueous solution and
amine-reactive compound includes the steps of (a) forming an active layer
through interfacial polymerization by contacting a surface of a porous
support with an amine aqueous solution containing a polyfunctional
aromatic amine monomer and an organic solution containing polyfunctional
acyl halide monomer as an amine-reactive compound, and (b) performing
post-treatment preceded by the forming of the active layer by contacting
the active layer with an aqueous solution containing 0.1 to 100 wt % of
polyfunctional tertiary alcohol amine. The polyamide thin film composite
reverse osmosis membrane prepared by using the polyfunctional tertiary
alcohol amine as a post-treatment compound has improved water
permeability and salt rejection compared to a case of using various
post-treatment agents or methods.
