Ion exchange membranes (IEMs) composed of sulfonated poly (ether sulfone) (SPES) and N-phthaloyl chitosan (NPHCs) were synthesized. NPHCs was employed in membrane fabrication to improve the porosity and hydrophilicity of membranes. The effect of blend ratio of sulfonation (DS) and NPHCs content on physico-chemical characteristics of home-made membranes was investigated. The morphology of prepared membranes was investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). SEM images revealed the formation of a more porous membrane structure and smoother surface. The electrochemical and physical properties of CEMs were characterized comprising water content, contact angle, ion exchange capacity (IEC) and thermal stability. Membrane water content, surface hydrophilicity and IEC were enhanced with increase of DS and NPHCs blend ratios in casting solution. Furthermore, the diffusion coefficient was also improved slightly with increase of DS and NPHCs blend ratios in prepared membranes. Membrane potential, permselectivity, transport number and areal membrane resistance all showed decreasing trends by the increase in NPHCs blend ratio in casting solution. These results indicated that the prepared membrane has good prospective and great potential for desalination in electrodialysis applications.
