Abstract

In this study, we used the hybrid module that was composed of granular activated carbons (GAC) packing between module inside and outside of tubular ceramic microfiltration membrane for advanced drinking water treatment. Instead of natural organic matters (NOM) and fine inorganic particles in natural water source, modified solution was prepared with humic acid and kaolin. $N_2$-back-flushing of 10 sec was performed per every period of 10 min to minimize membrane fouling and to improve permeate flux (J). As a result, resistance of membrane fouling ($R_f$) decreased and J increased as concentration of humic acid changed from 10 mg/L to 2 mg/L step by step, and finally the highest total permeate volume ($V_T$) could be obtained at 2 mg/L. Then, treatment efficiencies of turbidity and $UV_{254}$ absorbance were excellent above 99.36% and 97.19%, respectively, but that of $UV_{254}$ absorbance for only microfiltration without GAC at 10 mg/L of humic acid was decreased a little as 90.84%.

본 연구에서는 고도정수처리를 위하여 모듈 내부와 관형 세라믹 정밀여과막 외부 사이의 공간에 입상 활성탄(GAC)을 충전한 혼성 모듈을 사용하였다. 정수 원수 중의 자연산 유기물(NOM)과 미세 무기 입자를 대체하기 위해, 휴믹산(humic acid)과 카올린(kaolin) 모사용액을 대상으로 하였다. 혼성공정에서 막오염을 최소화하고 투과선속(J)을 향상시키기 위하여 10분 주기로 10초 동안 질소 역세척을 시행하였다. 그 결과, 휴믹산의 농도가 10 mg/L부터 2 mg/L로 단계적으로 변화시킴에 따라 막오염에 의한 저항($R_f$)이 감소하고 J가 증가하여 2 mg/L에서 가장 높은 총여과부피($V_T$)를 얻을 수 있었다. 한편, 탁도 및 $UV_{254}$ 흡광도의 처리효율은 각각 99.36% 및 97.19% 이상으로 우수하였으나, 휴믹산의 농도 10 mg/L에서 활성탄 주입 없이 정밀여과 단독으로 UV254 흡광도의 처리효율은 90.84%로 다소 감소하였다.
