RESUMO
Polyethersulfone (PES) hollow fiber membranes were produced, containing 3% of two types of clay (Brasgel PA - MMT and Cloisite NA - CLNa), in order to modify the characteristics of the polyethersulfone membrane. By means of the X-ray diffraction, it was possible to observe an exfoliated and/or partially exfoliated structure in the membranes containing clay. From the analysis of contact angle, it was possible to notice an increase in the hydrophilicity of the membrane with the introduction of the clay. Through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the morphology of the porous support of the membrane was modified with addition of clay, favoring greater uniformity of the pores and fingers. In the flow measurements with distilled water, the membranes with clay obtained the highest flows, being the greater flow with the Cloisite Na clay (~22 L/h.m2) and was in agreement with the contact angle results. In the analysis of permeation with the oily emulsion, the membrane with Brasgel PA clay in its structure presented the greatest flow (~16 L/h.m2) and the membrane with Cloisite Na presented the greatest yield (78.28%). Therefore, the clay acted by modifying both the morphology and the hydrophilicity of the polyethersulfone membrane, improving flow and yield.
