Abstract

In this study, cellulose acetate (CA) membrane was prepared by phase inversion precipitation and then evaluated the forward osmosis (FO) membrane performance. Differences in water flux and salt rejection between RO and FO with prepared membranes were observed. The different structure membranes were prepared with various solvent which evaluate the influence of membrane structure on permeability. The structure of the prepared membrane was confirmed through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the permeability changes were estimated using the bench-scale FO test equipment.

본 연구에서는 셀룰로오즈 아세테이트(Cellulose acetate)를 이용하여 정삼투막을 제조하였으며 분리막 성능평가를 진행하였다. 분리막의 염제거율과 정삼투 공정에서의 투과성능 변화의 상관관계를 규명하기 위해 각기 다른 염제거율을 가지는 분리막을 제조하고 정삼투 장치를 이용하여 막 투과 성능을 평가하였다. 분리막의 구조가 정삼투 투과성능에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 각기 다른 용매를 이용하여 분리막을 제조하였다. 또한 제조된 분리막의 구조는 주사전자현미경(scanning electron microscopy)을 통해서 확인하였으며 정삼투 장치 운전을 통해 투과성능 변화를 알아보았다.
