Abstract

The effect of $N_2$ back-flushing period (FT) and time (BT) was compared with the previous result used PES (polyethersulfone) beads loaded with titanium dioxide photocatalyst in hybrid process of alumina microfiltration and PP (polypropylene) beads coated with photocatalyst in viewpoints of membrane fouling resistance ($R_f$), permeate flux (J), and total permeate volume ($V_T$). The reason of nitrogen back-washing instead of the general air back-washing method is to minimize the possible effect of oxygen included in air on water quality analysis. As decreasing FT, $R_f$ decreased and J and $V_T$ increased. Treatment efficiency of dissolved organic matters (DOM) was 82.0%, which was the higher than 78.0% of the PES beads result. This means that PP beads coated with photocatalyst was the more effective than PES beads loaded with photo-catalyst in the DOM removal. As increasing BT, the final $R_f$ decreased and the final J increased, but $V_T$ was the maximum at BT 15 sec. The average treatment efficiency of turbidity did not have any trend as changing BT. As BT increasing from 6 sec to 30 sec, the treatment efficiency of DOM increased 11.8%, which was a little higher than the result of PES beads.

관형 알루미나 정밀여과와 이산화티타늄 광촉매 코팅 PP (polypropylene) 구의 혼성공정에서 질소 역세척 주기(FT)와 시간(BT)의 영향을 막오염에 의한 저항($R_f$) 및 투과선속(J), 총여과부피($V_T$)의 관점에서 광촉매 첨가 PES (polyethersulfone)구를 사용한 기존 결과와 비교하였다. 일반적인 역세척 방법인 공기가 아닌 질소로 역세척을 한 이유는 공기에 포함된 산소에 의해 수질분석에 영향을 줄 가능성을 최소화하기 위한 것이다. FT가 짧아질수록 $R_f$는 감소하고, J와 $V_T$는 증가하였다. 용존유기물의 평균 처리효율은 82.0%로 PES 구 결과의 78.0% 보다 높았다. 이러한 결과는 광촉매 코팅 PP 구가 광촉매 첨가 PES 구 보다 효과적으로 용존유기물을 제거한다는 것을 의미한다. BT가 길어질수록 최종 $R_f$는 감소하고 최종 J는 증가하였지만, $V_T$는 BT 15초에서 최대값을 보였다. 탁도의 평균 처리효율은 BT 변화에 따라 특별한 경향을 보이지 않았다. BT가 6초에서 30초로 증가함에 따라 용존유기물의 처리효율은 11.8% 증가하여, PES 구의 결과보다 다소 크게 증가하였다.
