The effect of cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) as surfactants on performance and morphological structure were examined. Using brackish water as a sample, the membrane performance was evaluated in terms of pure water permeation (PWP), flux and salt rejection. Experimental data revealed that at 2.0 wt. % of SDS, the LPARO membrane achieved the optimum performance and produced the finest membrane. � 2016, Malaysian Society of Analytical Sciences.
