Abstract

See full text

The salt passage of a reverse osmosis membrane is increased by: (a) contacting the membrane with ions to form a membrane-ion complex; (b) treating the membrane-ion complex with an aqueous solution of an alkali metal permanganate to form manganese dioxide crystals in the membrane; and (c) dissolving the manganese dioxide crystals. The process can be repeated any number of times to further open the membrane.
