The　modification　of　ultrafiltration　membranes　with　carbon　nanotube　(CNT)　buckypaper　on　fouling　control　was　investigated.　Two　types　of　commercially　available　flat-sheet　membranes　were　used:　PS35　and　PES900C/D　(PES)　(the　PS35　membranes　were　hydrophilic　with　a　molecular　weight　cutoff　of　20　kDa,　and　the　PES　membranes　were　hydrophobic　with　a　molecular　weight　cutoff　of　20　kDa).　The　CNT　buckypaper　modified　ultrafiltration　membranes　were　prepared　by　filtering　a　CNT　suspension　through　the　flat-sheet　membrane　in　a　dead-end　ultrafiltration　unit.　After　modification,　the　pure　water　flux　of　PES　was　significantly　increased,　while　the　pure　water　flux　of　PS35　was　decreased.　The　properties　of　the　CNT　modified　membranes　were　also　investigated.　Considering　the　antifouling　properties,　pure　water　flux　of　the　modified　membrane,　and　the　stability　of　CNT　buckypaper　layer　on　the　membrane　surface,　ethanol　solution　with　a　concentration　of　50　wt.%,　multi-walled　carbon　nanotubes　(MWCNTs)　with　a　larger　diameter　(30-50　nm),　and　the　CNT　loading　with　7.5g/m(2)　was　selected.　The　CNT　buckypaper　on　the　surface　of　ultrafiltration　membranes　can　trap　the　pollutants　in　sewage　effluent　and　prevent　them　reaching　the　surface　of　virgin　membranes.　Water　quality　analysis　showed　that　the　effluent　quality　of　the　modified　membrane　was　obviously　improved.　The　removal　efficiency　of　humic　acid　and　protein-like　matters　by　the　modified　membrane　was　significant.　These　results　indicate　the　potential　application　of　the　CNT　buckypaper　layer　modified　membranes　in　the　field　of　wastewater　reclaim.
