Abstract

To recover of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) induced by painting process, we prepared separation system using hollow fiber membrane modules and evaluated the recovery performance of VOCs with different feed pressure and operating time. Concentration of volatile organic compound in permeate through the membrane increased with increasing operating time and pressure. Performance of the membrane for removing the VOCs when we applied 2-stage process showed better performance than that of single stage process.

도장공정에서 발생되는 휘발성 유기화합물의 회수를 위하여 중공사 분리막 모듈을 이용한 공정을 준비하여, 공급압력과 시간변화에 따른 휘발성 유기화합물의 회수에 대한 특성평가를 실시하였다. 중공사 분리막 모듈을 도장공정에 직접 적용한 결과, 투과된 휘발성 유기화합물의 농도는 투과시간과 압력의 증가됨에 따라 증가되었으며, 단일공정보다 다단공정이 더 우수한 분리성능을 나타내는 것을 확인하였다.
