Effect of oxidation agents on reverse osmosis membrane performance to brackish water desalination

Preparation, characterization and chlorine stability of aromatic–cycloaliphatic polyamide thin film composite membranes

“…The mechanism of chlorine attack on aromatic polyamides and polyamide membranes has been investigated by several researchers in order to understand the cause of performance change due to chlorination [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Several chemical changes in polyamides upon exposure to free chlorine have been reported.…”

Effective Lifetime Study of Commercial Reverse Osmosis Membranes for Optimal Hydrogen Peroxide Ultrapurification Processes

“…However, the hydrogen peroxide ultrapurification process can be considered as a very demanding challenge for reverse osmosis membranes, because such an oxidant medium could promote the degradation of the polymeric membranes. In any case, the membrane sector has acquired important experience about oxidative degradation as a consequence of the common use of oxidant chemicals (typically chlorine) to avoid biofouling. − …”
