The nominal pore size 0.2 ${\mu}m polytetrafluroethylene(PTFE, Satorius Co,) membrane was used for the filtration of 0.1 wt% kaolin, bentonite, yeast, and starch solution, respectively. After filtration, the membrane was cleaned and the pore size was measured by liquid displacement method(LDMl using water/iso-butanol system. The pore size for new PTFE membrane evaluated by LDM was comparable with those of which were measured by mercury porosimetry and scanning electron microscope. The membrane pores were severely fouled, and constricted to below 0.3 ${\mu}m in the cases of bentonite and starch solution which contained smaller particles than pores. However, in the case of kaolin - solution, only some parts of membrane pores above 0.35 ${\mu}m were slightly fouled. Hence, the phenomena of membrane fouling could be identified quantitatively by the evaluation of pore size using LDM.

Numerical solutions were obtained to the model equations for various of the parameters characterizing the pore structure, effective internal diffusion, and the chemical reaction constant. The conversion was decreased with the cause of pore closure at the surface of reacting particles, reduction of porosity, surface area of reaction and effective diffusion coefficient in the solid with the progress of reaction. Total conversion was strongly dependent on the local conversion at surface. According to the decreasing of impregnated concentration of the copper oxide and the increase of the flue gases concentration, total conversion was increased. The conversion was affected by gas flow rate and pore size distribution in the reacting solid.

석탄액화반응에서 촉매 세공구조가 촉매 불활성화에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 간단한 모델을 전개하였다. 촉매의 세공수 분포에 근거하여 두 개의 Dirac delta 함수분포를 갖는 다공질 촉매구조를 제안하였으며 촉매 세공구조와 반응속도상수와의 관계를 유도하기 위하여 단순화된 반응계를 가정하였다. 균일 코드피복 가정에서 본 모델을 촉매 불활성화 예측에 적용하였으며 계산과정에서 세공율, 세공 크기 등의 촉매 특성치에 대해서는 실제값을 이용하였다. 본 모델연구에 의하면 unimodal 촉매에 비해 bimodal 촉매가 촉매 불활성화에 덜 민감하였다.

Methanol-to-olefin (MTO) reaction was studied over MWW zeolite with independently developed two pores (circular and straight) and MFI zeolite with intercrossed sinusoidal and straight pores in order to investigate the effect of pore structure on their catalytic behavior. MWW and MFI zeolites with similar acidity exhibited commonly high conversion and slow deactivation in the MTO reaction, but their product selectivities were considerably different: linear hydrocarbons of $C_3-C_9$ were mainly produced on MWW, while the yield of $C_2{^=}$ and aromatics were high on MFI. Polyaroamatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were accumulated on MWW, but a small amount of benzene and aromatics on MFI. The impregnation of phosphorous on MWW caused significant decreases in the catalytic activity and toluene adsorption, but the decreases were relatively small on MFI. Although the straight pores of MWW were inactive in the MTO reaction due to the accumulation of PAHs, its circular pores which suppressed the formation of PAHs sustained catalytic activity for the production of linear hydrocarbons. Therefore, the impregnation of phosphorous on the circular pores of MWW caused a significant decrease in catalytic activity. The phosphorous impregnation on the cross sections of MFI altered the product selectivity due to the neutralization of strong acid sites, but catalytic deactivation was negligible. The difference of MWW and MFI zeolites in the MTO reaction was explained by their difference in pore structure.

Acetone vapor흡착에서는 활성탄의 BJH 비표면적과 탈착량을 비교했을때 10${\AA}$이하에서는 다층흡착이 일어나며 그 이상의 세공크기에서는 단층 흡착이 일어나는 것으로 판단된다. 동일한 특성을 가진 MEK vapor흡착에서도 활성탄의 BJH 비표면적과 탈착량을 비교했을때 15 ${\AA}$이하에서는 다층흡착이 일어나며 그이상의 세공크기에서는 단층 흡착이 일어나는 것으로 판단된다. 위 실험을 통해 흡착질의 크기와 흡착제의 세공크기 분포에 Knudsen diffusion의 영역을 고려하여 흡착제를 사용하는 것이 좋은 것으로 판단된다.

The experiment was carried out to fabricate alumina membrane which has a cylindrical pore structure by anodizing aluminium plate in sulfuric acid solution with the electrochemical technique. The aluminium plate for anodizing was prepared by the pretreatment process such as chemical, electro-polishing and thermal treatment. The pore size distribution and the film thickness of alumina membrane were investigated by the implementation of scanning electron microscope(SEM) and BET method. The results show that the oxide film has a geometrical structures like a Keller model and that the membrane has a uniform pore distribution. The pore size and the oxide film thickness are dependent on the anodizing process variables such as the electrolyte concentration, the reation temperature and the anodizing current density.

The porous size alumina membrane was prepared by anodic oxidation with current method in an aqueous solution of oxalic acid. The aluminum metal plate was pretreated with thermal oxidation, chemical polishing and electropolishing before anodic oxidation. Membrane thickness and pore size distribution were investigated with several anodizing conditions; reaction temperature, cumulative charge, electrolyte concentration and current density. The porous alumina membrane obtained was $55{\sim}75{\mu}m$ thick with straight micropore of 45~100nm. Also, the porous alumina membrane has an uniform pore diameter and pore distribution. It was inorganic ultrafiltration membrane as a kind of the ceramic membrane.

1. 서론 : 한외여과(ultrafiltration; UF)는 장치 및 조작이 간단하고, 열의 사용없이 물질을 분리 정제를 할 수 있기 때문에 생물제품 등을 비롯한 거대분자들의 분리에 널리 활용되고 있다. 그러나 한외여과 공정의 운전시 가장 큰 문제점은 막에 의해 분리된 물질들이 필연적으로 막표면에 가역적으로 누적되는 농도분극(concentration polarization)과 이 누적된 물질이 막과의 상호작용에 의해 막표면에 비가역적으로 침적되는 막오염(membrane fouling)현상을 유발시킨다는 것이다. 일반적으로 한외여과는 막세공과 분리 대상물의 크기차에 의한 sieve effect에 의해 분리가 이루어지는데 막오염이 발생되면 세공의 일부 또는 전체가 막히게 되어 결국에는 투과선속(permeate flux)이 감소하고, 막의 세공분포가 달라져 막 본래의 분리성능에 변화가 초래된다.(생략)
