막분리(membrane separation)법은 막 전후의 압력차, 농도차 등을 추진력(driving foroe)으로 하여 분리대상물질에 대한 막의 선택투과성 차이를 이용, 분리를 행하는 것이다. 이 분리법은 기존의 분리공정인 심냉법(cryogenic separation)과는 달리 상변환 공정이 필요없어 에너지가 적게 들고 또한 PSA(pressure swing adsorption)법에서와 같은 cycle 운전이 필요없어 연속적으로 분리가 가능하며 시스템도 간단하다. 최근 기체 막분리의 경우 수소 및 탄산가스의 회수정제, 공기중의 산소와 질소의 분리 등에 실용화되고 있다. 여기서는 공기중의 산소를 분리하여 30-40% 산소부화공기(oxygen enriched air)를 간편하게 제조할 수 있는 산소부화막장치와 연소장치에의 응용기술 및 연구결과에 대해 간략히 소개하고자 한다.

This study was carried out to analyze heat transfer characteristics and heat flow through air-inflated double layer PO film with thermal resistance method. The experiments was conducted in the laboratory controlled air temperature between 258.0 K and 278.0 K. The experimental materials were made up two layers PO film and an inflated-air layer. The thickness of air-inflated layer was fixed at 3 types of 110, 175, 225 mm. The electrical circuit analogy for heat transfer by conduction, radiation and convection was introduced. Experimental data shows that the dominant thermal resistance in heat transfer through the air-inflated double layer film was convection. Calculation errors were 1.1~18.5 W for heat flow. In result, the method of thermal resistance could be introduced for analysis of heat flow characteristics through air-inflated double layer film.

MBR공정에서 막 오염을 제어하기 위하여 분리막 모듈에 원통형 관을 도입하여 각각 공기공급량과 MLSS농도, 분리막 면적에 따른 막 오염 정도를 나타내는 TMP를 분석하였다. 원통형 관을 사용하지 않은 대조군보다 원통형 관을 사용한 M$_1$과 M$_2$ 경우에 운전 종료 시점이 연장된 것을 확인할 수 있었고 공기공급량과 MLSS농도, 분리막 면적의 변화에 따른 TMP의 변화가 생기는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

The method to form the space of the pneumatic structures by internal pressure is classified greatly as the dual type with the nlty type. The shape of the pneumatic structures consists of the curved surface under uniform tension not greatly to be deformed by the design load and stress must not be concentrated also. Therefore, In this study, we have done the structural analysis of the unity typed pneumatic structures by the NASS which is the program for nonlinear analysis. The analytic model is a rectangular pneumatic membrane structures which have four side fixed edges. And we have done the nonlinear incremental analysis considering the orthotropic material.

The goal is to compare two different aeration strategies for a pilot scale operation of submerged microfiltration with respect to the minimization of membrane fouling. A constant aeration (65 L/min) was examined parallel with a step-wise increase in airflow rate (40 to 65 L/min). The airflow rate was stepped to a higher rate every 5 min and the step-aeration cycles were repeated at regular intervals of 15 min. The comparative filtration runs were conducted with synthetic water containing powdered activated carbon (~10 g/L) and/or kaolin (~20 g/L) at a constant flux of 80 LMH. The extent and mechanisms of fouling in the microfiltration were identified by determining hydraulic resistance to filtration and the fouling reversibility after cleaning. Results showed that the step-aeration effectively alleviated fouling in the microfiltration of synthetic water compared to when using constant aeration. A substantial decrease in fouling was achieved by combining with coagulation using aluminum salts regardless of the aeration strategies. The constant aeration resulted in increased pore blocking likely due to increased accumulation of particles on the surface of membrane.

This study was carried out for microfiltration tubular membrane module equipped with self-designed air injection nozzle in order to determine the permeate flux due to the effect of membrane fouling reduction. The 0.1 wt% yeast particle solution was used as a feed solution and permeation tests were performed for the cases with and without air injection. Permeation fluxes were measured and analyzed to examine the effect of membrane fouling reduction. While the permeation flux without air injection decreased continuously, that with air injection was improved more than 30 percent than that of no air injection case.

1. 서론 : 공기중의 산소와 질소를 분리하여 공기 중에 21% 함유된 산소를 보다 높은 농도(21%이상)로 농축하기 위한 기초자료로서 건조 산소(dry O$_2$)와 건조 질소(dry N$_2$)의 투과도를 측정하였다. 그러나 공기중에는 항상 수분이 포함되어 있으므로 공기 중에 함유된 수분(water vapour)에 의한 산소 투과도와 질소 투과도의 변화를 측정하기 위하여 상대숩도 및 압력차이에 따른 영향을 고찰하였다. 그리고 분리막공정에서 순수기체의 막에 대한 투과도를 알 수 있다면 기체 혼합물에 대한 이상분리인자(ideal separation factor)를 알 수 있으며, 이를 이용하여 분리막의 분리 성능 예측이 가능하므로 투과도 예측식을 얻는다는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 counter-current model을 이용하여 기체 혼합물의 투과도를 예측하고 실험치와 비교하였다.

오일폐액처리에 있어서 한외여과막을 이용하는 기술은 이미 산업분야에서 성공적으로 적용되고 있다. 그러나 오일폐액처리에 있어서 농도분극 및 겔층 (Gal layer) 형성에 의한 플럭스 감소와 막의 수명 단축은 해결해야할 중요한 숙제로 남아있다. 이와같은 문제제기로부터 본 연구에서는 한외여과막에 의한 오일처리에서 공기를 유입함으로써 플럭스를 향상시켰고, 긍극적으로 막에 의한 수용성 오일 처리 기술의 경제적 효율을 높이는 방법을 연구하였다. 수용성 오일의 막 분리는 일반적으로 농도에 따른 플럭스의 변화가 Gel Polarization Model을 따르는 것으로 보고 있다. 즉 오일의 농도가 농축됨에 따라 플럭스가 급격히 감소하여 어느 농도이상 농축시키기 위해서는 비경제적인 운영을 해야만 한다. 본 연구에서는 플럭스를 향상시키기 위해 오일 용액내로 공기를 유입시켰다. 절삭유 용액속에는 에멀젼을 안정화 시키기 위한 계면활성제가 포함되어 있어 공기를 유입할 경우 용액의 상이 액체에서 거품과 액체와의 혼합상으로 변하게 된다. 이러한 상의 변화로 인해 농도에 따른 플럭스가 Gel Polarization Model을 따르지 않고 농도에 따른 감소가 현저히 둔화됨을 관찰하였다.

Membrane bioreactor(MBR) processes have been widely applied to wastewater treatment for last decades due to its excellent capability of solid-liquid separation. However, membrane fouling was considered as a limiting factor in wide application of the MBR process. Excess aeration into membrane surface is a common way to control membrane fouling in most MBR. However, the excessively supplied air is easily dissipated in the reactor, which results in consuming energy and thus, it should be modified for effective control of membrane fouling. In this study, cylindrical tube was introduced to MBR in order to use the supplied air effectively. Membrane fibers were immersed into the cylindrical tube. This makes the supplied air non-dissipated in the reactor so that membrane fouling could be controlled economically. Two different air supplying method was employed and compared each other; nozzle and porous diffuser which were located just beneath the membrane module. Transmembrane pressure(TMP) was monitored as a function of airflow rate, flux, and ratio of the tube area and cross-sectioned area of membrane fibers(A$_m$/A$_t$). Flow rate of air and liquid was regulated to obtain slug flow in the cylindrical tube. With the same flow of air supply, nozzle was more effective for controlling membrane fouling than porous diffuser. Accumulation of sludge was observed in the tube with the nozzle, if the air was not suppled sufficiently. Reduction of membrane fouling was dependent upon the ratio, A$_m$/A$_t$. For diffuser, membrane fouling was minimized when A$_m$/A$_t$ was 0.27, but 0.55 for nozzle.

The effects of relaxation and backwashing on fouling in ultrafiltration were investigated using full-scale membrane bioreactors (MBRs) which operated at a constant flux of 30 LMH. This paper also estimated the feasibility of using intermittent aeration strategies for minimizing the hydraulic resistance to filtration in comparison with the continuous aeration for running MBRs. Multiple cycles of filtration (14.5 min each) and relaxation (0.5 min each) were repeated. Similarly, a backwash was conducted by replacing a relaxation after each filtration cycle for the comparative performance test. The attached cake thickness on the membrane rapidly increased, caused by subsequent no aeration leading to easier combining with gel layer and the formation of heterogeneous layer on the membrane surface. During periodic backwashing, it is expected that gel and thin cake layer might sufficiently be removed by heterogeneous layer. After periodic backwashing, subsequent cake layer formation during time of no aeration was rapid than frequent no aeration, acting as a prefilter and preventing further irreversible fouling. Based on the Pearson correlation analysis, overall period fouling (dTMP/min) and average of all cycles (dTMP/min) were strongly correlated with the on-off period of aeration for operating MBRs.
