| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Membrane fouling caused by adsorption of foulants onto membrane surfaces has been a difficult problem. In this study, effectiveness of the surface modification of ceramic microfiltration membrane with 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) polymer was examined. As a result high anti-fouling membranes were obtained. The membranes showed higher rejection than the non-modified membrane, although water permeability was the same. Based on these unique properties of MPC polymer, a novel membrane for ideal fouling control was proposed. Furthermore the effect of addition of metal oxide particles on pore size was also examined.
