Effects of pre-oxidant (KMnO4) on structure and performance of PVDF and PES membranes
The structure and performance of membrane materials are very important to the efficient and stable operation in membrane drinking water purification technology. Potassium permanganate (KMnO

)
which can change the characteristics of organic matters and control membrane surface fouling
has been widely used as pre-oxidant in the front of membrane drinking water process. This study investigates the evolution of membrane surface structure and performance when polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and polyethersulfone (PES) were exposed to 10
100 and 1000 mg·L

solution for 6 and 12 d
respectively. The aged membrane physicochemical characteristics such as membrane surface morphology
chemical composition
hydrophilicity
porosity and zeta potential were evaluated by modern analytical and testing instruments. The anti-fouling property of membrane surface was also investigated by the filtration-backwash experiment. The results indicated that the different concentrations and exposure time of KMnO

led to a different variation on PVDF and PES membrane surface structure and performance
which could further affect the membrane separation performance and the
membrane fouling behaviors. The membrane surface pore size and porosity increased due to the dislodgment and degradation of membrane additive (PVP)
which improved membrane permeability and enhanced the adsorption and deposition of pollutants in the membrane pores. With the increase of exposure time
the membrane surface pore size and porosity reduced for the reactions of chain scission and crosslinking on membrane materials
and the backwashing efficiency declined
leading to a more serious irreversible fouling. Compared with PVDF membranes
the formation of sulfonic group for PES membranes increased the negative charge on membrane surface due to the oxidation of KMnO

. The present study provides some new insights for the regulation of the pre-oxidant dose and the selection of the membrane materials in KMnO
