Data are presented from a series of laboratory experiments designed to evaluate separation performance and humic acid fouling for two RO membranes treating brackish water at temperatures of 15, 25, and 35°C. A model is proposed that considers changes only to solute and solvent properties. Model results and experimental data confirm that solute concentration polarization decreases, while water permeability and salt permeability increase with temperature. Overall, higher feed water temperature reduces energy consumption and observed salt rejection to a greater extent than that predicted by the model, which suggests that RO transport models must be developed for predicting changes in solution and membrane properties. At all temperatures, salt rejection increases after |
