Abstract
Removal of some organic pollutants from aqueous solutions by reverse o smosis using commercial FT30 membranes of characterized porosities was investigated. The pore size distribution analysis and calculation of the effective number of pores have shown the presence of numerous narr ow unimodally distributed pores in the upper selective membrane layer. The organic pollutant removal by reverse osmosis is governed mostly b y mutual interactions between the membrane material, solute and water molecules. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
