Abstract

In order to select the most suitable membrane to the concentration of vanadium and silica in groundwater, two different commercial NF membrane modules (NE2540-90 and NF90-2540) and three different commercial RO membrane modules (BW30-2540, RE2540-TE, and XLE-2540) were tested. The membrane characteristics test results showed that NE2540-90 module was the most efficient because of higher permeate flux and similar rejection coefficient. Using NE2540-90 module at the transmembrane pressure of $8\;kgf/cm^2$, it was found that the rejection coefficients of vanadium, silica, aluminium, chromium, iron, boron, strontium, and barium were 98.2%, 99.0%, 92.0%, 83.6%, 96.0%, 45.1%, 98.6%, and 69.5%, respectively. It was possible that vanadium and silica contents of groundwater were concentrated into $148.9\;{\mu}g/L$ and 85.8 mg/L respectively by six-stages NF process at the recovery ratio of 15%. The waters produced by NF, which are enriched in vanadium and silica content, are expected to be commercialized the various functional mineral waters.

지하수 중의 바나듐 및 실리카의 농축에 적합한 막을 선정하기 위하여 2종류의 나노여과 막모듈(NE2540-90, NF90-2540)과 3종류의 역삼투 막모듈(BW30-2540, RE2540-TE 및 XLE-2540)에 대한 투과선속과 배제율을 측정하였다. 투과선속과 배제율에 대한 실험 결과 본 연구에 사용된 나노여과 막모듈과 역삼투 막모듈 중에서 NE2540-90 막모듈이 바나듐과 실리카의 농축에 가장 적합하였다. NE2540-90 막모듈을 사용하여 막간차압을 $8\;kgf/cm^2$로 하였을 때, 바나듐 및 실리카의 배제율은 각각 98.2% 및 99.0%이였고, 알루미늄, 크롬, 철, 붕소, 스트론튬 및 바륨에 대한 배제율은 각각 92.0%, 83.6%, 96.0%, 45.1%, 98.6% 및 69.5%이였다. 서귀포지역 지하수를 각각 회수율 15%로 6단 처리하였을 때, 바나듐과 실리카 함량은 각각 $148.9\;{\mu}g/L$ 및 85.8 mg/L로 농축되었다. 나노여과 공정에 의한 농축수는 고농도의 바나듐과 실리카를 함유하고 있어 기능성음료로의 상품개발이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
