This Nonwoven support provides mechanical strength to membrane while filtration process and minimizes membrane fouling. Hence it helps in better membrane performance in terms of salt rejection, improved flux, thermal stability and fairly increases in proton conductivity. In this work we have used K.C.270 nonwoven material consisting of fine polyester fibers and has a thickness of below 110. ?m. © 2011.Filtration processMembrane performanceNanoporous membraneNon-wovenPerformance characterizationPS-PPEESSalt rejectionsSynthesis and characterizationsFluxesMembrane foulingMicrofiltrationProton conductivityWeavingNonwoven fabrics
