최근 세라믹 막은 우수한 화학적, 열적 안정성으로 기체 분리 공정에 각광을 받아 왔다. 특히 혼합기체에서 고 순도의 수소를 분리해 내는 기술은 연료전지 공정에서 화학 에너지를 전기화학 에너지로 전환시키는데 중요한 역할을 차지한다. 본 연구에서는MTES 템플레이팅 막을 이용하여 이 막 공정의 흡착 및 투과 특성을 규명하고, 이성분 혼합기체에서 고 순도의 수소를 추출해 낼 수 있는 최적 조건을 도출해 내었다. 또한, 기체 분리 거동을 살펴보기 위해 Gproms Dynamic Simulator를 이용하였으며, 이때 기체상의 물질전달을 모사하기 위해 Dust Gas Model(DGM)을, 표면 확산 거동을 모사하기 위해 Generalized Stefan-Maxwell(GSM)식을 적용하였다. 이를 통해 평형론적 흡착 뿐 아니라 속도론적 흡착을 동시에 적용할 수 있게 하였다. MTES 템플레이팅 막의 흡착 및 분리능을 규명하기 위해 본 연구에서는 혼합기체의 투과, 분리 실험이 선행되었다. 실험 조건은 온도범위 323$\sim$473 K, 압력범위 0$\sim$7 atm에서 수행되었으며, 혼합기체는2성분으로 수소-메탄, 수소-이산화탄소, 수소-질소로 기체의 구성비는 각각 50:50 이다. 본 연구를 통해 각 혼합 기체들이 정상상태에 도달하는 시간과 분리능을 계산해 내었으며, 이 분리능을 다시 온도와 압력에 따른 결과로 분석하여 어느 조건에서의 수소 분리도가 최고치를 보이는지를 규명했으며, 시뮬레이션과 비교,대조하여 예측도를 검사하였다.

The aim of this study was to confirm the feasibility of the electro-coagulation process as a pre-treatment for the membrane separation of anaerobic digestion effluents to minimize membrane fouling. The reduction of membrane fouling was evaluated according to the number of electrodes (immersed surface area of electrodes), current density and contact time. In the case of the small surface area of electrodes, the increased electric field strength resulted in a soluble COD increase due to the destruction of the microbial flocs and/or cells, whereas large changes in the soluble COD were not observed in the case of the high surface area of electrodes. On the other hand, the T-P concentration decreased as a result of the precipitation of aluminum ions and phosphates. The membrane permeation flux increased and the fouling resistance (Rc+Rf) decreased with increasing electric current density. Although the particle size of the anaerobic digestion effluent increased slightly, it was not related directly to the reduced fouling phenomena. The main mechanism for the enhanced flux was attributed to the inorganic particulate produced during electrocoagulation, such as $AlPO_4$, which acted as a dynamic membrane deposited on the membrane surface.

Ceramic materials have attracted increasing attention in the last 10 years because of their high thermal stability and high permeation property compared with polymeric nanofiber membranes. Recently, novel nanofiber ceramic membranes with high porosity and flux have been fabricated from metal oxide nanofibers. To improve the performance of ceramic membranes and reduce their costs, a new ceramic membrane with a selective separation layer made of nanofibers was fabricated by electrospinning process and modification process for filtration system. This review summarizes the research trends for the development of ceramic nanofiber membrane over the past few years.

Conventional lithium ion batteries suffer from notorious safety issues caused by inevitable lithium dendrite formation and proliferation during over/fast charging processes. The lithium dendrites or mechanical damage on the separator induce internal short circuit in LiB that generates extensive amount of heat within contacted electrode surfaces through the separator. During this heat generation, conventional polyolefin separators shrinks dramatically, and increasing short circuit pathway, that causes the battery to explode. To overcome this serious issue, ceramic coated separators are developed in commercial LiB to enhance thermal and mechanical stability. In this paper, various size(IL = 488.5 nm, I = 538.7 nm, S = 810.3 nm, D = 1533.3 nm) of $Al_2O_3$ particles are coated using styrene-butadiene rubber(SBR) / carboxymethyl cellulose(CMC) binder on PE separator to investigate its thermal stability and electrochemical effect on LiB coin cell with NCM cathode and Li metal anode.

Polyethylene (PE) separator is the most popular separator for lithium-ion batteries. However, it suffers from thermal contraction and mechanical rupture. In order to improve the thermal/mechanical dimensional stabilities, this study investigated the effects of $Si_3N_4$ coating. SCS (Silicon-nitride Coated Separator) has been fabricated by applying 10 ${\mu}m$-thick $Si_3N_4$/PVdF coating on one side of PE separator. SCS exhibits enhanced thermal stability over $100{\sim}150^{\circ}C$: its thermal shrinkage is reduced by 10~20% compared with pristine PE separator. In addition, SCS shows higher tensile strength than PE separator. Employing SCS hardly affects the C-rate performance of $LiCoO_2$/Li coin-cell, even though its ionic conductivity is somewhat lower than that of PE separator.

흰쥐의 신피질 세포막과 소포체 막을 분리하여 카드를 및 Metallothioneln(MT)을 투여하였을 때 세포막에 존재하는 Ca-ATPase에 미치는 영향을 측정하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 전기영동상에서 분리된 MT가 분자량 12KD 정도의 위치에 band가 나타났으며, 분리한 각 세포의 막에 카드윰을 농도별로 처리하였을 때 고농도일수록 Ca-ATPase의 활성도가 감소하였으나, MT를 처리한 경우 신피질 세포막은 거의 대조군과 유사한 결과를 나타냈고, 소포체 막에 MT를 처리한 경우는 20mg/ml의 카드윰을 처리한 경우와 유사하였다. 이와같은 결과로 보아 카드윰은 세포막의 Ca-ATPase의 활성을 저하시켜 세포내 칼슘 항상성에 영향을 미치는 MT는 Ca-ATPase의 활성을 회복시켜 카드뮴에 의한 세포독성의 방어작용에 부분적으로 작용한 것으로 생각된다.

In this study, vinyl waste, which is the cause of environmental pollution, is recycled via an electrospinning method and applied as a separator that can be employed for energy storage devices. In detail, vinyl wastes are dissolved in a solution containing p-xylene and cyclohexanone, followed by electrospinning to obtain a vinyl waste-derived separator(VWS), and then the hydrophilic functional groups on the surface of VWS are introduced using a plasma treatment to improve wettability. Scanning electron microscopy analysis have verified that the shape and thickness of as-spun VWS vary depending on the concentration of vinyl waste. The surface hydrophility of VWS is modified by plasma treatment with applied powers ranging from 80 to 120W. The lowest contact angle is observed when the 100W power is applied to VWS(VWS-100W). In electrochemical analysis, the VWS-100W-based supercapacitor device shows the highest specific capacitance of 57.9 F g^-1. This is ascribed to the high porosity achieved by electrospinning as well as the introduction of hydrophilic functional groups by the oxygen plasma treatment. In conclusion, vinyl waste is successfully recycled into separators for energy storage devices, suggesting a new way to reduce environmental pollution.

Separators, which produces physical layer between a cathode and anode, are getting enormous attention as the quality of the separator determines the performance of lithium ion batteries (LIBs). Porous membranes based on polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) are generally utilized as the separator of LIBs because of their high electrochemical stability and suitable mechanical strength. However, low thermal resistance and wettability of PE and PP membranes limited the potential of LIBs. Operating at the temperature exceeding the melting point of membranes, the separators change their structures which lead to short circuit of LIBs. Low wettability of the separators corresponds to low ionic conductivity which increases the cell resistance. To overcome these weaknesses of PE and PP separators, different types of separator were prepared by co-electrospinning, applying coating layer, forming core shell around membrane, and papermaking method. The synthesized separator greatly enhanced the heat resistance and wettability of separator and mechanical properties like flexibility and tensile strength. In this review different type of polymer membrane used as separator in lithium ion battery are discussed.

It is a global challenge to fulfill the demand for clean water at an affordable cost to all the strata of the population. Desalination of seawater as well as brackish water by the membrane separation process is a well-established and cost-efficient method. However, there is still inherent problem of membrane fouling, disposal of the reject as well as a capital-intensive process. While electrodialysis (ED) is a membrane-based separation process in which a driving force is the potential difference. The advantages of ED process are excellent efficiency and low operation cost. Ion exchange membrane (IEM) used in the ED process needs to have higher chemical and thermal stability along with excellent mechanical strength for long-term use without losing its efficiency. The ion exchange capacity of the ED membrane is largely dependent on the conductivity of IEMs. In this review, the modification strategy of the pristine membrane to enhance the stability and ion conductivity of cation exchange membrane (CEM) and anion exchange membrane (AEM) is discussed.

Recovery of sulfuric acid is very important after biomass converted to sugar by acid hydrolysis. In this work, the separation of sulfuric acid from sulfuric acid/glucose solution was studied by electrodiaysis. Three chamber method, which requires both anion membrane and cation membrane, is the most commonly used in the electrodialysis process, but two chamber method using only an anion membrane was the focus of this study. Sulfuric acid was perfectly separated from a mixture of 10~30 wt% glucose and 1~3 M sulfuric acid by electrodialysis using two chamber method. The separation rate of sulfuric acid lineary increased with higher current density when the affect of diffusion and convection of the membrane was small. Without electric energy, 45% of sulfuric acid was separated by diffusion and convection only.
