dc.description.abstract Membrane fouling is an intrinsic problem of membrane technology which affects process performance and causes a substantial rise of the operating costs. This becomes central in seawater desalination processes. This study is focused on applying a membrane chemical cleaning protocol to obtain the most adequate cleaning conditions to recover the permselective properties of an irreversibly fouled reverse osmosis membrane from a seawater desalination plant. The research was carried out in three steps: fouling characterization by scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), atomic force microscopy, attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and elemental analysis; static cleaning tests; and characterization of the membrane surface after the cleaning step. The cleaning process was performed in a static way as a preliminary step. Five of the most widely used cleaning agents were tested (NaOH, citric acid, HCl, sodium dodecyl sulfate [SDS], and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt) at a broad range of concentrations and two different temperatures (25 and 40 degrees C). SEM-EDX analysis showed that foulant compounds were mainly silica, iron silicate, and aluminum silicate, which indicated that fouling was mainly colloidal and inorganic. The best cleaning results were achieved by SDS 0.5% w/w at 40 degrees C, as the greatest recovery of the membrane permselective properties (permeability and salt rejection index) was obtained. es_ES
