Provided is a process for preparation of a highly permeable thin film composite membranes for nanofiltration, reverse osmosis, and forward osmosis, particularly for reverse osmosis of brackish water. The process includes treating a prepared TFC membrane containing a discrimination layer on a frontside, a support layer, and a felt layer on the backside by contacting the backside of TFC membrane with a solution containing a pore protection agent that includes a tertiary amine salt of camphorsulfonic acid prior to or at the same time as contacting the frontside of the membrane with a solution containing a coating agent and drying the membrane. Also provided are reverse osmosis membranes prepared in accord with the method, and modules containing the highly permeable thin film composite membranes.

1. A process for improving water flux of a thin film composite (TFC) membrane, comprising: (a) providing at least one TFC membrane having at least a felt layer on a backside, a support layer, and a discrimination layer on a front side;(b) applying a backside treatment solution containing from about
1. A process for improving water flux of a thin film composite (TFC) membrane, comprising: (a) providing at least one TFC membrane having at least a felt layer on a backside, a support layer, and a discrimination layer on a front side;(b) applying a backside treatment solution containing from about 0.1 wt % to about 33 wt % of a tertiary amine salt of camphorsulfonic acid as a pore structure protection agent to the backside of the TFC membrane to form a backside-treated TFC membrane; and(c) drying the backside-treated TFC membrane to yield a treated TFC membrane, the treated TFC membrane having a water flux that is greater than the water flux of a TFC membrane prepared without treating the backside with the backside treatment solution. 2. The process of claim 1, wherein the tertiary amine of the tertiary amine salt of camphorsulfonic acid is selected from among a trialkylamine having 1 to 6 carbon atoms in the alkyl moiety, a pyridine having 0 to 3 alkyl groups of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, an alkyl-alcohol-amine, an N-alkyl-pyrrolidine having 1 to 6 carbon atoms in the alkyl moiety, an alkylbenzylamine, and a heteroaromatic tertiary amines or a combination thereof. 3. The process of claim 1, wherein the tertiary amine of the tertiary amine salt of camphorsulfonic acid is selected from among pyridine, 4-dimethylaminopyridine, quinoline, isoquinoline, phenanthridine, triethylamine (TEA), ethyldiisopropylamine, N,N-dimethyl-cyclohexylamine, N-methylpyrrolidine triethanolamine, methyldiethanolamine, ethyl-diethanolamine, dimethylethanolamine, butyldiethanolamine, octadecyl-diethanolamine, cyclohexyldiethanolamine, benzyldiethanolamine. benzylmethyl-ethanolamine, diethyl-ethanolamine, diethyl cyclohexynolamine. methyloctadecyl-ethanolamine, methyl-octadecenylethanolamine, dimethylbenzylamine, and a picoline. 4. The process of claim 1, wherein the backside treatment solution further comprises a solvent selected from among water, a C1-C4 alcohol, a C1-C4 ketone, a glycol, a polyalkylene glycol, a mono-alkyl ether of ethylene glycol and a di-alkyl ether of ethylene glycol, and a combination thereof. 5. The process of claim 1, wherein the discrimination layer comprises a polyamide. 6. The process of claim 1, further comprising applying a coating to the frontside of the TFC membrane. 7. The process of claim 6, the coating comprising from about 0.1 wt % to about 10 wt % of a polymer selected from among polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethersulfone, polyvinylidene fluoride, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polytrimethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polystyrene, polyacrylonitrile, polymethyl methacrylate, a polyvinyl acetate polyalcohol, a polyalkylene oxide, a polyimine, a polyacrylic acid, a polyacrylonitrile, a polyamine, a polyurethane, and a polyurea, and derivatives thereof and copolymers thereof. 8. The process of claim 7, the coating further comprising from about 0.1 wt % to about 40 wt % of a humectant selected from among glycerol, polyglycerol, polyethylene glycol, an alkylene glycol, and a sugar alcohol, and any combination thereof. 9. The process of claim 1, the drying step comprising heating the treated TFC membrane until a surface of the treated TFC membrane reaches a temperature of at least 75° C. 10. The process of claim 1, wherein the TFC membrane is a reverse osmosis membrane.
