Hydrophilic polysulfone ultrafiltration membranes were prepared from blends of cellulose acetate and carboxylated polysulfones of 0.43 and 0.75 degrees of carboxylation. The effects of degree of carboxylation on membrane characteristics such as compaction, pure water flux, water content and membrane hydraulic resistance, have been investigated to evaluate the performance of the membranes. The influence of the degree of carboxylation on the performance of the blend membranes of various blend polymer compositions has been investigated and also compared with earlier reports on blend membranes prepared from cellulose acetate and polysulfone or carboxylated polysulfone of 0.14 degree of carboxylation. © 2003 Society of Chemical Industry
