초록

수처리에 사용되는 세라믹 분리막은 친환경적이고 낮은 에너지 소비 등의 장점으로 인해 많이 사용되고 있으나, 40 % 이상의 높은 기공률로 인해 수처리 모듈에 적용되는 과정에서 강도에 대한 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 도자기에 사용되는 유약을 이용하여 분리막 끝단의 강도를 향상시키고자 하였다. 분리막의 미세구조 변형을 최소화하기 위하여 낮은 소성온도에서 사용되는 저온용 유약 조성 4가지를 선정하였다. 저온용 유약을 이용하여 코팅 후 열팽창 계수 차이로 크랙 발생이 관찰되었다. 따라서 유약의 열팽창 계수를 cordierite와 petalite를 첨가하여 제어하였다. 코팅 후 세라믹 분리막의 압축강도는 $27N/m^2$에서 $117N/m^2$ 증가하였으며, 이는 깨지기 쉬운 세라믹 분리막의 단점을 충분히 보완할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Ceramic membrane has been widely used for water treatment due to its advantages of eco-friendly property and low energy consumption. However, high porosity of ceramic membrane higher than 40 % may cause a problem of strength, when it is applied to a water treatment module. In order to solve this problem, the strength of the membrane edge was improved by using the ceramic glaze. Four different glaze compositions for low temperature sintering was selected to minimize the deformation of the membrane microstructure. After coating with low temperature glaze, cracks were observed due to differences in thermal expansion coefficient between the membrane and glaze. Thus, the thermal expansion coefficient of glaze was controlled by addition of cordierite and petalite. As a results, the compressive strength of the ceramic membrane, which was coated with the optimized glaze composition, was increased from $27N/m^2$ to $117N/m^2$, indicating that the glaze coating can improve the disadvantages of the fragile ceramic membrane.
