Abstract

The primary objective of this study is to elucidate the contribution of the electrostatic and molecula structural properties of an active layer of the thin film compsite (TFC) membranes to fouling tendency. The studies of surface morphology and surface charge were very effective in understanding fouling behaviors of the reverse osmosis (RO) membranes which were the thin film composite type of ployamide. Results of microscopic morphology analyzed by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and surface charge analyzed by electrokinetic analyzer (EKA) showed important factors affecting the fouling of RO membranes. The active layer of the composite membrane possessing realtively neutral streaming charge and less roughness provided a RO membrane with slowly decreasing flux.

본 연구는 복합 박막 활성층의전기적/분자 구조적인 특성이 오염성에 어떤 영향을 미치는가를 조사하였다. 복합 박막 형태의 폴리아미드계 역삼투 분리막에 대한 오염 거동 현상을 이해하는데 있어 표면 구조와 표면 전하의 연구는 매우 효과적이다. AFM 전자현미경을 이용한 표면 구조 분석과 EKA 전위차 측정기를 통한 표면 전하의 분석 결과는 역삼투 분리막의 오염에 영향을 미치는 중요한 인자를 보여주고 있다. 복합막의 활성층이 중성에 가까울수록, 조도 차가 작을수록 역삼투막의 유량 감소 속도는 줄어든다.
