Abstract

This study aimed to measure chemical resistance properties of the microfiltration flat-sheet membrane made by Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC) with respect to the immersed time. The solutions of effective chlorine 0.5 wt% NaClO, HCl 1 wt% and pH 4 buffer under acidic condition, NaOH 4 wt% and pH 10 buffer under alkine condition were used as widely applied chemicals for membrane washing. The CPVC membrane samples were immersed in the above chemical solutions during 1, 3, 5 and 10 days at 5, 25 and $50^{\circ}C$, respectively. After then, the tensile strength and elongation at break as the chemical durability for the samples were measured and evaluated. The tensile strength decreased within 5% at $5^{\circ}C$, but decreased up to 17% at 25 and $50^{\circ}C$ for 0.5 wt% NaClO solution mainly used for membrane cleaning. The chemical resistance of CPVC membrane was good enough for HCl 1 wt% and pH 4 buffer acid solutions, but the most vulnerable for NaOH 4 wt% solution.

본 연구는 정밀여과용 Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC) 평막의 화학약품 수용액 내에서 경과시간에 따른 내화학성을 측정하기 위하여 실시하였다. 화학약품으로는 막 세정에 주로 사용되는 유효염소 0.5 wt% NaClO 수용액과 산성인 HCl 1 wt%, pH 4 수용액 그리고 알카리인 NaOH 4 wt%, pH 10 수용액을 사용하였다. 이상의 수용액중에 CPVC 분리막을 1일, 3, 5, 10일 동안 5, 25, $50^{\circ}C$에서 침지시킨 후, 각각의 인장강도와 파단시 신장율을 측정하여 내구성을 평가하였다. 막 세정시 주로 사용되는 유효염소 0.5 wt% NaClO 수용액의 경우 $5^{\circ}C$ 조건에서는 인장강도 변화는 5% 이내이지만 25, $50^{\circ}C$에서는 17%까지 감소하였다. CPVC 분리막의 내화학성은 산성인 HCl 1 wt%와 pH 4 수용액에서 우수하였으나 NaOH 4 wt% 수용액에 대해서 가장 취약한 것으로 나타났다.
