Abstract

Provided is a water-treatment membrane including a porous support; and a polyamide active layer including chlorine on a surface thereof, wherein CIE L*a*b* color coordinate values after storing for 30 days or longer at 25° C. to 80° C. satisfy Equation 1 to Equation 3: 91< L *<97  <Equation 1> −1.5< a *<1.5  <Equation 2> −1.5< b *<8  <Equation 3> of the present disclosure, a water-treatment module including the same, and a method for manufacturing the same.

Claims (19)

1. A water-treatment membrane comprising:

a porous support;

a polyamide active layer provided on the porous support and including chlorine on a surface thereof, wherein a chlorine element content measured by an elemental analysis on the surface of the polyamide active layer is greater than 0 at % and less than or equal to 3 at %; and

a protective layer including glycerin on the polyamide active layer,

wherein CIE L*a*b* color coordinate values after storing for 30 days or longer at 25° C. to 80° C. satisfy the following <Equation 1> to <Equation 3>:

91< L*< 97  Equation 1>

−1.5< a*< 1.5  Equation 2>

−1.5< b*< 8  <Equation 3>.

2. A water-treatment module comprising one or more of the water-treatment membranes of claim 1 .

3. A method for manufacturing the water-treatment membrane of claim 1 , the method comprising:

(a) forming a polyamide active layer on a porous support by interfacial polymerizing an amine compound and an acyl halide compound;

(b) pretreating the polyamide active layer by bringing the polyamide active layer into contact with a pretreatment solution including water;

(c) bringing a hypochlorite solution having a concentration of 50 ppm to 300 ppm into contact with the pretreated polyamide active layer for 1 second to 1 minute; and

(d) forming a protective layer by coating an aqueous glycerin solution on the polyamide active layer.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein a moisture content of the water-treatment membrane measured immediately after (a) is from 0.1% to 3%.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein a moisture content of the water-treatment membrane measured immediately after (b) is from 20% to 50%.

6. The method of claim 3 , wherein a moisture content of the water-treatment membrane measured immediately after (d) is from 0.1% to 5%.

7. The method of claim 3 , wherein the pretreatment solution further includes one or more types of an acidic salt or a basic salt.

8. The method of claim 3 , wherein the hypochlorite solution is an aqueous sodium hypochlorite solution.
