Abstract

In this study periodic water-back-flushing using permeate water was performed to minimize membrane fouling and to enhance permeate flux in advanced water treatment by tubular ceramic ultrafiltration membrane for Gongji stream in Chuncheon city. The back-flushing period (FT, filtration time) 2 min with periodic water-back-flushing of 15 sec showed the highest value of dimensionless permeate flux (permeate flux vs. initial permeate flux), and the lowest value of resistance of membrane fouling. Also in the results of BT effect at fixed FT 10 min, BT (back-flushing time) 20 sec showed the lowest value of resistance of membrane fouling and the highest value of dimensionless permeate flux, and we could be obtained the highest total permeate volume of 107.3 L. Consequently FT 10 min and BT 20 sec could be the optimal condition in Gongji stream water treatment, which was the exactly same results of our previous tubular alumina microfiltration. Then the average rejection rates of pollutants by our tubular ceramic UF system were 97.0% for turbidity, 32.1 % for chemical oxygen demand by manganese method, 28.8% for ammoniac nitrogen and 54.4% for T-P.

본 연구에서 처리수를 이용한 주기적인 역세척은 춘천시 공지천의 관형 세라믹 한외여과막에 의한 고도정수처리 시스템에서 막오염을 저감하고 투과선속을 향상시키고자 수행되었다. 일정한 역세척 시간(BT) 15초에서 여과시간 즉, 물 역세척 주기(FT) 2분이 가장 높은 무차원 투과선속(초기 투과선속에 대한 투과선속)과 가장 낮은 막오염 저항값을 보였다. 또한, FT 10분으로 고정한 BT 영향의 결과에서 BT 20초가 가장 낮은 막오염 저항과 가장 높은 무차원 투과선속을 나타내어, 가장 많은 총여과부피 107.3 L를 얻을 수 있었다. 결론적으로 공지천의 정수처리에서 FT 10분과 BT 20초가 최적조건으로 관형 알루미나 정밀여과의 선행 연구결과와 정확히 일치하였다. 한편 관형 세라믹 한외여과 시스템에 의한 오염물질 평균제거율은 탁도 97.0%, 망간법에 의한 COD 32.1%, 암모니아성 질소 28.8%, 총인 54.4%로 나타났다.
