Membrane technology was used for the optical resolution of the various racemic compounds such as tryptophan, tyrosine and phenylalanine, using enantioselective membranes prepared from sodium alginate (SA) and glutaraldehyde as a membrane material and crosslinking agent, respectively, The chemical structure of the membranes was characterized with FT-IR spectrophotometry and 3D molecular structure modeling study was done to figure out the optical resolution mechanism through the membrane. Effects of degree of crosslinking, feed concentration, operating pressure and different kinds of feed solution on the membrane performances were studied. As results, it was found that with increasing degree of crosslinking and membrane thickness, and decrease in the concentration of the feed solution and smaller size of solutes, the enantinselectivity of the membrane was improved. When the sodium alginate membranes with 80% of swelling index and 79${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ of thickness were used, 77% of enantiomeric excess was obtained.

Nylon membrane was used to separate ethanol-water by a pervaporation method. Experimental equations were derived to use the simulation of membrane-aided distillation using nylon. The increases in permeation pressure resulted in the decrease in selectivity and energy consumption. The energy cost to enrich ethanol from 94 wt% to 99.5 wt% was calculated to be 53.3 won/kg of ethanol with extractive distillation and 18.9 won/kg of ethanol with a pervaporation method. The saving energy by the pervaporation method is consumed by recycling the permeate residue into the distillation column in the membrane-aided distillation column. Therefore, membrane with the high selectivity to minimize the permeate residue recycle is required to effectively enrich ethanol in the membrane-aided distillation method.

Pervaporation is mainly used to separate liquid mixtures because it exhibits a high selectivity compared with traditional distillation processes and it is known to be an energy saying separation process. Zeolite membranes show better thermal. mechanical, chemical stability than polymer membranes and especially silicalite-1 membrane can effectively separate organic compounds from water because of its high hydrophobicity. In this study, volatile organic compounds of ketone are separated by pervaporation using silicalite-1 membrane. As a feed concentration of acetone and MEK increases, a permeation flux of acetone and MEK increases while a selectivity decreases.

In this review, surface modification methods of hydrophobic poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) membrane are introduced and their improved hydrophilicity results are discussed. Fluoropolymer based membranes, represented by PTFE membranes have been used in various membrane separation processes, including membrane distillation, oil separation and gas separation. However, despite excellent physical properties such as chemical resistance, heat resistance and high mechanical strength, the strong hydrophobicity of PTFE membrane surface has become a challenging factor in expanding its membrane separation application. To improve the separation performance of PTFE membranes, wet chemical, hydrophilic coating, plasma, irradiation and atomic layer deposition are applied, modifying the surface property of PTFE membranes while maintaining their inherent properties.

투과증발법은 증류법에 비해 에너지 소비가 더 적기 때문에 공업적인 응용 측면에서 유용한 분리공정이다. 대부분의 투과증발법에 대한 연구는 공비혼합물, 비점이 서로 비슷한 혼합물, 이성질체증을 분리, 특히 물과 에탄올과의 공비혼합물의 분리와 물로부터 희박 방향족 화합물을 회수하는데 행해져 왔다. 친수성막은 유기용매의 탈수에 사용되어져 왔고 반면에 소수성막은 유기수용액으로 부터 유기물을 분리하는데 사용되어져 왔다. 천연소재인 키토산은 친수성기들을 가지고 있기에 물과 에탄올의 분리에서 물을 선택적으로 투과시켜 효과적인 투과증발막으로 사용될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 키토산을 복합막화하여 실제 상업화에 적합한 선택도와 투과유량을 가진 투과증발막으로 개발하고자 하였다. 도한 키토산 복합막의 물에 의한 팽윤현상을 제어하기 위해 두가지 가교방법으로 글루타르알데히드 가교를 설치하였으며, 이에 따른 투과성능의 영향을 평가하였다.

The chemical compositions and antioxidant activity of green tea extracts in medilite-extraction water were compared to that of distilled water(DW). Antioxidant activity was fetermined by the formation of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) in rat liver homogenates and microsomes and the scavenging activity of free radicals by DPPH ($\alpha$, $\alpha$'-diphenyl-$\beta$-picrylhydrazyl). The order of total polyphenolic compounds and extracted yield by extracts was medilite 325 mesh-extraction water, medilite 600 mesh-extraction water and distilled water(DW). The ranges of scavenging activity of green tea extracts in DPPH method were 60.95% - 64.51%. The inhibition ratios of TBARS formation in the rat liver homogenates and microsomal fractions were significantly lower with green tea extracts by DW-extraction than with both medilite 325 mesh and 600 mesh-extraction water. The concentration of iron ion of water containing medilite 325 mesh and green tea extracts and of water containing medilite 600 mesh and green tea extracts were significantly higher compared to DW. Therefore, this result suggested that enhanced concentration of iron ion in green tea extracts by medilite-extraction water containing high iron ion content was associated with enhanced peroxidation of the rat liver microsomal fractions. These results showed that total polyphenolic compounds, the % of yield and mineral compounds of green tea extracts were increased using medilite 325 mesh and 600 mesh-extraction water.

Pervaporation process using membrane is newly emerging energy saying and cost effect process instead of distillation process. Especially, in pertrochemical industry, pervaporation process is a strong candidate to substitute the conventional energy consuming processes because that petrochemical industry has much energy consuming separation processes, many azeotrope mixtures to separate and needs to compact space to install new process units. Aromatic/aliphatic separation including benzene/cyclohexane mixture, olefin/paraffin separation, xylene isomer separation, reactive monomer recovery and sulfur compound removal from gasoline have been inversitigated for the application of pervaporation membrane process by many researchers and are under commercializing.

This study was accomplished to get the foundation design data of VMD(Vacuum Membrane Distillation) system for Solar Thermal VMD plant. VMD experiment was designed to evaluate thermal performance of VMD using PVDF(polyvinylidene fluoride) hollow fiber hydrophobic membranes. The total membrane surface area in a VMD module is $5.3m^2$. Experimental equipments to evaluate VMD system consists of various parts such as VMD module, heat exchanger, heater, storage tank, pump, flow meter, micro filter. The experimental conditions to evaluate VMD module were salt concentration, temperature, flow rate of feed sea water. Salt concentration of feed water were used by aqueous NaCl solutions of 25g/l, 35g/l and 45g/l concentration. As a result, increase in permeate flux of VMD module is due to the increasing feed water temperature and feed water flow rate. Also, decrease in permeate flux of VMD module is due to increasing salinity of feed water. VMD module required about 590 kWh/day of heating energy to produce $1m^3/day$ of fresh water.

In this paper, a new technology to obtain electronic grade, highly pure carbon dioxide by using membrane and liquefied natural gas (LNG) cold heat assisted cryogenic distillation has been proposed. PRO/II with PROVISION release 2023.1 from AVEVA company was used, and Peng-Robinson equation of the state model with Twu's alpha function to predict pure component vapor pressure versus temperature more accurately was selected for the modeling of the membrane and cryogenic distillation process. Advantage of using membrane separation instead of selecting absorber-stripper configuration for the concentration of carbon dioxide was the reduction of carbon dioxide capture cost.
