The development of cellulose acetate blend membranes using a commercial grade Mycell cellulose acetate and cellulose diacetate with suitable pore structure is discussed. These membranes were characterized in terms of resistance of the membrane, pure water flux, the molecular weight cutoff, water content, pore size, and porosity. The removal of copper metal ions by this blend membrane using polyethyleneimine as a chelating agent was studied. The effects of copper ion concentration and casting solution composition on separation are also discussed. A possible correlation between feed and permeate concentration of copper ion is evaluated.
