Abstract

The objectives of this research are to evaluate the effect of membrane materials, particulate matter and membrane pore size on permeate flux. It was shown that the removal efficiency of high MW organic matter more than 10 kDa was lower than that of low MW organic matter for $MIEX^{(R)}$ process. For the change of permeate flux by the pretreatment process, $MIEX^{(R)}+UF$ process showed high removal efficiency of organic matter as compared with coagulation+UF processes, but high reduction rate of permeate flux was presented through the reduction of removal efficiency of high MW organic matter. The pretreatment of the raw water significantly reduced the fouling of the hydrophilic membrane, but did not decrease the flux reduction of the hydrophobic membrane. Flux decline on MF process increased due to the pore clogging, while the permeate flux decline of UF process decreased due to the formation of cake layer. It was shown that particle matter was not effect on MIEX+membrane process. But, for coagulation+membrane process, particle matter was important factor on permeate flux.

[ $MIEX^{(R)}$ ]와 응집에 의한 분자량 크기별 제거특성에서는 10 kDa 미만의 유기물질에 대해서는 $MIEX^{(R)}$ 처리가 우수한 제거능을 나타내었으나, 10 kDa 이상의 유기물질은 응집 공정에서 높은 제거능을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 막의 공극 크기에 대한 투과 flux 실험결과 UF 공정에 비하여 MF 공정에서의 투과 flux 감소율이 낮게 나타나고 있으며, MF 공정에 적용된 전처리 공정중 $MIEX^{(R)}+MF$ 공정의 경우 응집+MF 공정에 비하여 투과 flux 감소율이 낮게 나타나고 있다. $MIEX^{(R)}+UF$ 공정의 경우 입자상 물질의 존재 유무에 상관없이 flux 감소율은 거의 유사하게 나타났으나, 응집+UF 공정의 경우에는 용존성 유기물질만이 존재하는 시수에 비하여 입자상 물질이 존재하는 경우 투과 flux 감소율은 작게 나타났다. 응집 공정의 적용 후 다양한 입도분포 변화가 발생하였으며, pH 7에서 $MIEX^{(R)}$ 입자의 제타전위 측정결과 $MIEX^{(R)}$ 입자의 전하는 평균 -2.3 mV로 나타나 전기화학적으로 입자상 물질의 흡착이 가능하며 $MIEX^{(R)}$가 침전됨에 따라 입자상 물질이 sweep되어 입도분포 변화를 보였다.
