A crack-free ceramic composite membrane with micropores has been synthesized by the pressurized sol-gel coating technique using the mixed Al2O3-SiO2 sols. The mixed sols were prepared by mixing nanoparticulate SiO2 and boehmite sols. These sols were more stable at lower pH, but very unstable when their copositions were in the range of 50~75mol% of SiO2 at the same pH. The mixed Al2O3-SiO2 membrane prepared from the mixed sol (0.2mol/$\ell$ of solid content and pH=2) containing 40mol% of SiO2 had the mean pore radius of 0.80nm and the specific surface area of 280$m^2$/g. The nitrogen permeability through the coated Al2O3-SiO2 layer was 42$\times$107mol/$m^2$.s.Pa. It was found that the thermal stability of aluminosilicate membranes, even through similar to that of SiO2 membranes, was much improved in comparison with ${\gamma}$-alumina membranes.

A fine $\alpha$-Al2O3 powder was prepared by sol-gel process for membrane application. And it was carried out by adding 1.5wt% $\alpha$-Al2O3 powders(mean size : 87 nm) as seeds to the prepared sols and by controlling the heating schedule (the heating rate and the soaking time) to prevent the microstructural change, which occured during $\theta$-to $\alpha$Al2O3 phase transformation. The seeded $\alpha$-Al2O3 particles acted as the heterogeneous nucleation sites for the $\alpha$-Al2O3 nucleation during the transformation of $\theta$- to $\alpha$-Al2O3 and resulted in increasing the driving force of phase transformation to activate the formation of $\alpha$-Al2O3 phase at 82$0^{\circ}C$. By $\alpha$-Al2O3 seeding and controlling of heating condition the phase transformation of $\theta$- to $\alpha$-Al2O3 was accomplished at low temperature and the grain growth process was depressed. Therefore, the unsupported membrane could be fabricated in $\alpha$-Al2O3 . The average diameter of pores in the fabricated membrane was 7 nm and the porosity was 47%.

본 논문에서는 ~1.5 ㎛의 기공 크기를 가지는 고투과도 알파 알루미나 지지체 위에 도포된 서스펜션의 증발유도 자기조립 현상을 이용하여 중간층을 형성하는 새로운 코팅 방식을 소개한다. 새로운 코팅 방법으로 만들어진 중간층은 일반적으로 사용되는 담지법으로 코팅된 중간층과 비교하여 표면거칠기와 불균일도가 낮아 코팅에 적합하였다. 복합막 지지체로서의 평가를 위해 제조된 지지체는 감마 알루미나 복합막 제조에 사용되었다. 메조 기공을 가지는 감마 알루미나 복합막은 반복코팅 없이도 매크로 기공 크기의 결함이 존재하지 않았으며 일반적으로 널리 사용되는 100~200 nm의 기공 크기를 가지는 지지체로부터 만들어진 같은 두께의 복합막과 비교하여 2.3배 이상의 높은 질소투과도를 보였다.

When ceramic membrance was made from metal salt solution in place of metal akoxide solution, crack free and good adhesion to supporter was optimized for sol stability and good adhesion force. A starting sol was prepared from aluminum oxychloride aqueous solutjion in order to inhibit the grain growthof Al2O3 during heat treatment. The crack free dip coating can't be achieved in 1mol/ι zirconium oxychloride solution because of the high viscosity which interferes with the hydration copolymerization between Al3+ ion and Zr4+ ion. Thus Al2O3-ZrO2 sol stability and viscosity for dip coating was effective when 0.01 mol/ι zirconium oxychloride was added. The minimizing of crack and achieving better adhesion to the supporter wa obtained by microwave drying, surfactant addition and ultrasonic dip coating in wet atmosphere. The result seems to minimize the capillary force and improve the adhesive ability to supporter during the process. Where the average pore size of Al2O3-ZrO2 ultrafilter ceramic membrane measured 17 Å by the BET method and observed γ-Al2O3 phase with tetragonal zirconia after firing at 700℃.

In order to improve the current efficiency and reduce the energy consumption in the electrosynthesis of ammonium persulfate, electrolytic properties of a perfluorosulfonic cation exchange membrane named PGN membrane and the $Al_2O_3$ ceramic membrane in the electrosynthesis of ammonium persulfate were studied and compared in a pilot electrolytic cell using a welded platinum titanium as the anode and a Pb-Sb alloy as the cathode. The effect of cell voltage, electrolyte flow rate and electrolysis time of the electrolytes on the current efficiency and the energy consumption were studied. The results indicated that the PGN membrane could improve current efficiency to 95.12% and reduce energy consumption to $1110kWh\;t^{-1}$ (energy consumption per ton of the ammonium persulfate generated) under the optimal operating conditions and the highest current efficiency of the $Al_2O_3$ ceramic membrane was 72.61% with its lowest energy consumption of $1779kWh\;t^{-1}$. Among 5 times of the electrolysis of the electrolytes, the lowest current efficiency of the PGN membrane was 85.25% with the highest energy consumption of $1244kWh\;t^{-1}$ while the lowest current efficiency of the $Al_2O_3$ ceramic membrane was 67.44% with the highest energy consumption of $1915kWh\;t^{-1}$, which suggested the PGN membrane could be used in the 5-stage electrolytic cell for the industrially continuous electrosynthesis of ammonium persulfate. Therefore the PGN membrane can be efficient to improve the current efficiency and reduce the energy consumption and can be applied in the industrial electrosynthesis of ammonium persulfate.

Porous $Al_2O_3$ hollow fiber membranes were successfully prepared by dry-wet spinning/sintering method. The SEM image shows that the $Al_2O_3$ hollow fiber membrane consists mostly of sponge pore structure. The contact angle and the breakthrough pressure were $126^{\circ}$ and 1.91 bar, respectively. This results indicate that the $Al_2O_3$ hollow fiber membranes were successfully modified to hydrophobic surface. The hydrophobic modified $Al_2O_3$ hollow fiber membranes were assembled into a membrane contactor system to separate $CO_2$ from a model gas mixture of the flue gas at elevated gas velocity. The $CO_2$ absorption flux was enhanced when the gas velocity increased from $1{\times}10^{-3}$ to $6{\times}10^{-3}$ m/s. Whereas the $CO_2$ absorption flux was decreased with the number of hollow fiber membrane of a module because of the concentration polarization. Furthermore, we developed an lab-scale $Al_2O_3$ hollow fiber membrane contactor modules and their system (i.e., $CO_2$ absorption using the $Al_2O_3$ membrane and monoethanolamine (MEA)) that could dispose of over $0.02Nm^3/h$ mixture gas (15% $CO_2$) with the removal efficiency higher than 95%. The results can be useful in a field of the membrane contactor for $CO_2$ separation, helping to design and extend a equipment.

The supported and unsupported boehmite ($\gamma$-AlOOH) membranes were prepared using a boehmite sol. The supported membrane was consisted of a porcelain support, two intermediate $\alpha-{Al_2}{O_3}$ layers, and a top boehmite membrane. XRD patterns showed that the supported top membrane had a higher $\theta-$ to $\alpha-{Al_2}{O_3}$ transformation temperature compared to the unsupported membrane. This result was also confirmed from microstructural study of the membrane. The shift in the phase transformation temperature should be explained by difference of a stress generated in the supported top membrane due to interaction between the support layers and the top membrane.

$AlCl_3{\cdot}6H_2O$를 출발원료로 침전법에 의해 알루미늄 수화물을 합성하였다. 용액의 pH에 따라 amorphous, boehimite, bayerite, nordstrandite 상을 얻었고, 수산화 알루미늄은 열처리 온도가 증가함에 따라 $\gamma$, $\delta$, $\theta$를 거쳐${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$로 전이되었으며, 입자크기도 증가하였다. ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ 를 담금피막법(dip-coating method)으로 중간층 위에 코팅하였고, 비교를 위해 비지지체 분리막도 준비하였다. 지지체 분리막은 작은 입자(grain)들로 구성된 다공질 구조(porous structure)를 나타내었지만, 비지지체 분리막에서는 상호 연결된 큰 입자(grain)들이 나타났다. 지지체 분리막에서 보다 비지지체 분리막에서 결정립 성장이 명백하게 나타났다.

메조포러스 공극구조를 갖는 광촉매 멤브레인은 다양한 환경기술에 적용될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 $TiO_2$ 층을 형성시킨 광촉매 반응기용 세라믹 멤브레인을 개발하고 이를 염색용액 처리에 적용하였다. 높은 공극률과 균질성을 지닌 $TiO_2$ 광촉매층을 그라프트 공중합체를 사용하여 제조하였다. 멤브레인은 광촉매 반응기와 멤브레인 여과를 결합시킨 하이브리드 광촉매 반응기에 성공적으로 적용하였다. 실험결과 정렬된 구조의 $TiO_2$ 층이 $Al_2O_3$ 지지체에 형성되었다. $TiO_2$ 층 형성 후 제조된 세라믹 분리막의 순수 투과도는 형성된 광촉매 층 저항으로 감소하였다. 정렬된 구조의 $TiO_2$ 층은 UV 결합 시 5시간 안에 완벽한 염색용액 분해를 달성시킬 수 있었다. 광촉매 멤브레인의 염색용액 분해는 Langmuir-Hinshelwood 흡착 모델로 잘 설명할 수 있었다. 또한 $TiO_2$ 층이 고정화된 세라믹 멤브레인의 model Congo Red에 대한 1차 속도상수는 $Al_2O_3$ 지지체 단독인 경우에 비해 약 6배 정도 큰 값을 나타내었다(0.0081 vs. $0.0013min^{-1}$).
