Abstract

Polyimide hollow fiber membrane modules were prepared in order to investigate the process of multi stage gas separation. The modules performance was carried out using 50/50 of $N_2/SF_6$ mixed gas. The membrane modules has been tested for measuring gas flow rate and concentration under various stage cut at 0.5 MPa. The membrane modules showed a high recovery ratio at the same stage cut as $N_2/SF_6$ selectivity increased. Two stage process was fulfilled for improving $SF_6$ recovery ratio and $SF_6$ concentration. Eventually, two stage process showed higher performance of $SF_6$ recovery ratio and concentration ($SF_6$ recovery ratio = 95%, $SF_6$ conc. = 98%).

다단기체분리 공정을 수행하기 위해 폴리이미드 중공사막 모듈을 제조하여 혼합기체 $N_2$ : $SF_6$ = 50 : 50에 대한 기체분리특성을 확인하였다. 제조된 중공사막 모듈은 0.5 MPa에서 stage cut을 조절하여 투과 유량, 농도 등의 성능을 측정하였다. 중공사막 모듈은 1단 분리 테스트에서 $N_2/SF_6$ 선택도가 높을수록 동일한 stage cut에서 높은 $SF_6$ 회수율을 얻을 수 있었다. 1단 시험결과에 따라 $SF_6$ 회수율과 농축농도를 동시에 높이기 위해 2단 기체 분리 테스트 진행함으로써 $SF_6$ 회수율 95% 이상, $SF_6$ 회수농도 98% 이상을 농축할 수 있었다.
