대기오염 문제가 국가적인 사회문제로 대두되면서 대기오염 방지장치의 수요가 급증하고, 점차 강화되는 환경오염 규제로 인하여 고효율의 오염방지 장치의 설치가 요구된다. 대기오염방지장치에서 대표적인 집진장치 기술은 대기 및 실내오염제어 뿐만아니라, 정확성이 높은 첨단 클린룸 수요의 증가 등으로 인하여 산업체의 각 분야에서 필수적이면서도 기본적인 기술이다. 대기중의 분진은 분자의 응축 및 핵생성등에 의하여 발생되는 매우 미소한 입자(0.05 $\mu$m)와 일반공장 및 작업장등에서 발생되는 분진 (0.1 - 10 $\mu$m) 그리고 바람에 의한 지표면의 흙, 모래등에 의한 비교적 큰 분진등의 광범위한 조성과 입경분포를 가진다. 이 가운데, 특히 산업발달에 따라 불가피하게 생성되며, 대기오\ulcorner의 주종을 이루면서 인체에 가장 유해한 분진입자는 산업체의 오일 및 석탄연소 보일러, 자동차, 제철/제강 및 시멘트 플랜트등으로 배출되는 미세입자들이며, 앞으로 이들의 제어에 과한 연구가 지속적인 관심의 대상이 될 것이다.

Hybrid ceramic membrane (HCM) processes that combined ozonation with a ceramic membrane (CM) or a reactive ceramic membrane (RM), an iron oxide nanoparticles (IONs) incorporated-CM were investigated for membrane fouling control. Alumina disc type microfiltration and ultrafiltration membranes doped with IONs by sintering method were tested under varying mass fraction of IONs. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images showed that IONs were well-doped on the CM surface and doped IONs were approximately 50 nm in size. Change in the pure water permeability of RM was negligible compared to that of CM. These results indicate that IONs incorporation onto CM had little effect on CM performance in terms of the flux. Natural organic matter (NOM) fouling and fouling recovery patterns during HCM processes confirmed that the RM-ozonation process enhanced the destruction of NOM and reduced the extent of fouling more than the CM-ozonation process by hydroxyl radical formation in the presence of IONs on RM. In addition, analyses of NOM in the feed water and the permeate showed that the efficiency of membrane fouling control results from the NOM degradation during HCM processes; leading to removal and transformation of relatively high contents of aromatic, high molecular weight and hydrophobic NOM fractions.

Solid scintillation proximity membranes were prepared for measuring the amount of radioactivity in laboratories contaminated by the radionuclide of $^3H$-cortisol. The membranes, consisting of polysulfone as a polymer matrix and cerium activated yttrium silicate as a fluor, were used to monitor the amount of radioactivity without the aid of a scintillation cocktail required for the conventional wipe test. The test results of the cocktail-free wipe test showed that the prepared membranes were efficient to monitor radionuclide-contaminated areas with the good counting ability as well as with the decrease of overall production of radioactive waste. On the other hand, solvent treatment of the prepared membranes could induce a significant variation of membrane morphology, but the counting efficiency of the solvent-treated membranes was not improved than that of the untreated one.

Pressurized membrane used for side-stream MBR process requires fouling control strategy both for normal and abnormal operation conditions for stable operation of the facilities. In this study, $85m^3/day$ of pilot-scale side-stream MBR process was constructed for the evaluation of fouling mitigation by air bubble injection into the membrane module. In addition, fouling phenomena at abnormal operation conditions of low influent and/or loading rate were also investigated. Injection of air bubble was found to be effective in delaying transmembrane pressure (TMP) increase mainly due to scouring effect on the membrane surface, resulting in expanded filtration cycle at a high flux of $40L/m^2{\cdot}h$ (LMH). At abnormal operation condition, injection of PACl (53 mg/L as Al) into the bioreactor showed 19% reduction of TMP increase. However, inhibition of nitrifying bacteria by continuous PACl injection was observed from batch experiments. In contrast, injection of powdered activated carbon (PAC, 0.6 g/L) was able to maintain the initial TMP of $0.2kg/cm^2$ for 5 days at the abnormal conditions. It may have been caused from the adsorption of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), which was known to be excessively released during growth inhibition condition and act as the major foulants in MBR operations.

Fresh water is an important resource for humans, and pressure-driven membrane technology has been widely known as an energy-efficient method to obtain water resource. However, membrane fouling phenomenon, which is one of the major issue during operation, deteriorates membrane permeability. These fouling is usually affected by interaction between surface of membrane and various foulants, therefore, modification of membrane's surface is one of the methods to improve fouling-resistance. This review focuses on the method to modify surface of pressure-driven membranes such as microfiltration (MF), ultrafiltration (UF), nanofiltration (NF), and reverse osmosis (RO). Specifically, there are two different surface modification methods: (1) adsorption and coating as the physical modification methods, (2) cross-linker, free radical polymerization (FRP), atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), plasma/UV-induced polymerization as the chemical modification methods. This review introduces the physico - chemical surface modification methods reported in recent papers and suggests research directions for membrane separation which can increase membrane fouling resistance.

막분리공정을 이용한 폐수처리는 오염을 제어할 뿐만 아니라 유용한 성분의 회수라는 측면에서 실용화되고 있다. 일반적인 십자흐름식 여과방식에서 fouling을 최소화하여 투과율을 높히기 위해 선속도(linear velocity)가 필요하며, 에너지 소비가 커진다. 그러나, 막을 회전시켜 shear Sterss를 발생시키고 강한 난류형성으로 농도분극 현상을 최소화시켜 높은 투과율을 얻을 수 있는 회전원판형모듈(rotary disk membrane module)을 기름 emulsion용액의 분리효율에 대하여 조사하고, 폐수처리 및 재활용 적용가능성을 고찰하였다.

In this study, a hydrophobic polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane was modified by coating neutral hydrophilic poly(vinyl alcohol). The flux of pure water was measured and then fouling test was conducted with bovin serum albumin (BSA) as model protein foulant. As a result, the experiments showed that pure water flux was decreased but anti-fouling property was significantly enhanced. Pure water flux with increasing molecular weights of the polymer was decreased and fouling resistance was enhanced. Also, Pure water flux with increasing solution concentration was decreased and fouling resistance was enhanced. It is probably due to the increase in hydrophilicity and decrease in roughness of the membrane surface, as revealed by contact angle and AFM analysis.
