Abstract

This paper was carried out to study the preparation condition and the permeation flux of reinforced poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) hollow fiber microfiltration (MF) membrane with the solvent, additive, second miscible polymer, and preparation condition used poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) such as a material with the excellent chemical stability and the milder preparation condition. The performance of the reinforced MF membrane prepared obtained the average $0.3{\mu}m$ pore size, $42kg_f/cm^2$ tensile strength, and the high water flux of 600 LMH. The change of membrane performance with various additives was considerably affected on the water flux and rejection. For hydrophilic modification of hydrophobic PVDF MF membrane, the MF membrane might be prepared with a prefer water flux and rejection by addition of hydrophilic poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA).

화학적 안정성이 양호하고, 제막조건이 온화한 재료인 poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)를 주재료로 사용하여 용매, 첨가제, 혼합고분자 및 제막조건의 변화에 따른 고강도 친수성 정밀여파(microfiltration, MF) 중공사 분리막의 실험에 의해 고찰하였다. 제조된 MF 중공사막의 막성능은 평균 공경 $0.3{\mu}m$, 인장강도 $42kg_f/cm^2$, 순수 투과유량은 600 LMH을 얻었다. 제막과정에서 다양한 첨가제의 막성능을 검토한 결과는 순수투과유량과 제거율에 상당한 영향을 미치고 있음을 알 수 있었다. MF막의 친수성을 개선하기 위해 소수성 PVDF와 상호 용해성 이 좋은 친수성 poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)를 혼합하여 투과성능과 제거율을 개선한 우수한 친수성 MF막을 제조할 수 있었다.
