Three types of experiments were performed: (1) exposure of RO membrane (active and support layers) to monochloramine (2, 20 and 200 mg/L as Cl2) and target proportional levels of iodide (0.06, 0.6 and 6 mg/L) or bromide (60, 600 and 6,000 mg/L) at constant exposure CT=384 mg×h/L; (2) exposure of support layer only to monochloramine at CT values of 1,000 and 30,000 mg×h/L at a monochloramine concentration of 200 mg/L as Cl2; (3) exposure of RO membrane (active and support layers) to monochloramine at CT values of 1,000, 5,000 and 30,000 mg×h/L at a monochloramine concentration of 200 mg/L as Cl2 in the presence of only 6 mg/L of iodide, only 6,000 mg/L of bromide, and both 6 mg/L of iodide and 6,000 mg/L of bromide.
