Abstract

In this study, ultrafiltration was performed to remove humic acid from aqueous solution. Since the effects of system variables on the ultrafiltration were tangled with non-linearly. Response Surface Methodology(RSM) was used to know optimum conditions of ultrafiltration process, relations among system variables, and the effects of system variables such as pressure difference across the membrane, concentration of humic acid, and feed flow rates. As concentrations of humic acid were 10ppm, 40ppm, and 70ppm in feed stream, permeation fluxes were 2.56, 2.27, and $2.10({\times}10^{-2}cc/cm^2{\cdot}min)$ respectively ; in other words, permeation fluxes of 10ppm, 40ppm and 70ppm feed concentration decreased by 17.7%, 26.7% and 32.2% of pure water permeation flux respectively. Concentration of humic acid in permeate side were 0.5ppm, 1.2 ppm, and 2.1ppm respectively. When pressure difference(${\Delta}P$) increased from 1atm to 2atm and 3atm, permeation fluxes of 40ppm feed concentration increased by 66% and 152% of permeation rate at 1atm respectively. However, concentrations of humic acid in permeate side increased from 0.5ppm to 1.5ppm and 3.5ppm. RSM showed that the optimum condition of system variables is 38.5~40ppm of humic acid concentration in feed stream, 30~30.7cc/min of feed flow rate, and 2atm of pressure difference.

본 연구에서는 한외여과막을 이용하여 수중에 함유되어 있는 부식산의 제거실험을 수행하였다. 한외여과성능에 미치는 공정변수들의 영향이 비선형적으로 서로 얽혀 있기 때문에, 응답표면분석법(RSM)을 이용하여 분리막 공정의 최적화와 각 변수간의 상호관계 및 투과성능에 영향을 미치는 공정변수(압력, 농도, 유량 등)들이 분리성능에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 부식산용액의 공정변수에 대한 투과량의 변화는 유입용액의 부식산의 농도가 10ppm, 40ppm 70ppm으로 증가함에 따라 2.56, 2.27, $2.10({\times}10^{-2}cc/cm^2{\cdot}min)$으로 감소하였다. 즉, 순수한 물의 투과량에 비해 각각 17.7%, 26.7%, 32.2%만큼 감소하였으며, 투과부에서의 부식산농도는 0.5, 1.2ppm, 2.1ppm으로 증가하였다. 막내에서의 압력차를 1atm, 2atm, 3atm으로 변화하였을 때, 1atm에서의 투과량보다 각각 66%, 152%로 증가하였으며, 투과부에서의 부식산의 농도도 각각 0.5ppm, 1.5ppm, 3.5ppm으로 증가하였다. 응답표면분석(RSM)에 의하면 공정변수의 최적운전조건은 유입부식산농도 38.8~40ppm, 유입유량 30~30.7cc/min, 압력차는 2atm이었다.
