Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a reverse osmosis membrane including: a porous support; and a polyamide active layer formed on the porous support and including zeolite, surface-treated with a compound having at least one functional group selected from a group consisting of an amino group and a glycidyl group, and a method of manufacturing the same.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A reverse osmosis membrane comprising: a porous support; and a polyamide active layer formed on the porous support and including zeolite, surface-treated with a compound having a glycidyl group, wherein the zeolite has an MFI (Zeolite Socony Mobil-five) type structure, and wherein a difference between a maximum particle diameter and a minimum particle diameter of the surface-treated zeolite is 10 to 200 nm. 2. The reverse osmosis membrane of claim 1 , wherein the compound is a silane compound having a glycidyl functional group. 3. The reverse osmosis membrane of claim 1 , wherein an average particle diameter of the surface-treated zeolite is 50 to 200 nm. 4. A method of manufacturing a reverse osmosis membrane, the method comprising: forming a porous support; and forming a polyamide active layer on the porous support by interfacially polymerizing a polyfunctional amine solution including zeolite surface-treated with a compound having a glycidyl functional group and a polyfunctional acid halide compound solution, wherein the zeolite has an MFI (Zeolite Socony Mobil-five) type structure, and wherein a difference between a maximum particle diameter and a minimum particle diameter of the surface-treated zeolite is 10 to 200 nm. 5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the surface-treated zeolite is included in an amount of 0.001 wt % to 1 wt %, with respect to 100 wt % of the polyfunctional amine solution.
