Membrane surface modification is one of the simplest ways to enhance the anti-fouling attribute of a polyethersulfone (PES)-based membrane. This paper compared two modification methods of PES membranes using dragon blood resin (DBR) additive via blending in the dope solution and coating a pristine PES membrane. The effect of modification methods was evaluated based on the properties and performances of the resulting membranes. Results show that the DBR-blended membrane exhibits higher water permease but lesser humic acid rejection than the DBR-coated membrane. Characteristics of contact angle, porosity, and pore size showed linear results on permease performance. The FTIR spectrum did not reveal any new groups but differed only on peak intensity. The DBR-coated membrane showed excellent anti-fouling properties as demonstrated by a flux recovery percentage of > 350%.

Hydrophobic membranes have limitations, which are the low permeation rate and susceptible to fouling, therefore membrane modifications are generally required. In this paper, hydrophobic polymer membrane modification has been studied by mixing dragon's blood resin (DBR) as bio additive. Two types of polymers were used, they were polyethersulfon (M-3 PES) and polyvinylidene Two types of polymers were used, they were polyethersulfon (M-3 PES) and polyvinylidene fluoride (M-3 PVDF) with a concentration of 14.5% polymer and 3% DBR. The results showed that M-3 PES had greater porosity, water uptake, pore size, and clean water flux than M3-PVDF. However, the antifouling performance of M-3 PVDF membrane tends to be better than M-3 PES, as well as its rejection. Both membranes tend to be stable even after repeated use.
