The feed temperature has an effect on the performance during desalination of seawater by membrane separation. When the permeate flux intends to increase using the waste heat, it is necessary to analyze the effect of feed temperature precisely on the membrane performance. The experiments were carried out to investigate the performance of membranes by varying the seawater temperature from $10^{\circ}C$ to $60^{\circ}C$. The increase of permeate flux with increase of feed temperature was interpreted as the change of water viscosity and the membrane itself. While the increase of permeate flux could be predicted by the viscosity change in case of nanoflitration membrane, there exists 30% difference between the experiment data and the prediction by the viscosity change in case of reverse osmosis (RO) membrane, which seems to be due to 8% decrease of the pore size in 60caused by the contraction of membrane with the increase of temperature. Therefore, the desalination of seawater should be carried out within the range that the elevation of temperature does not cause the alteration of membrane itself even for the purpose of increasing the permeate flux.

Pervaporation separation is one of promising membrane technology for the energy saving processes and it has been developed to separate complex mixture systems including azeotropic mixture, close-boiling mixture, aqueous organic mixtures etc. Many researchers focused on dehydration pervaporation separation and they commercialized ethanol dehydration and isopropanol recycling processes. Nowadays, petroleum separation and volatile organic compound removal using pervaporation membranes is one of the emerging application of pervaporation separation. We reviewed the development and application of pervaporation membranes.

최근 고분자 분리막을 이용한 기체 혼합물의 분리시 분리특성을 향상시키고자 하는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그러나 고분자 막에 의해 기체를 분리할 경우 기체의 투과도와 선택도는 상반된 특성을 갖고 있어 투과도와 선택도 모두를 동시에 증가시키기 위한 분리막 소재의 개발 및 개선이 요구되며, 많은 연구자들이 이에 관련된 연구들을 수행하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 종류의 흡착제가 함유된 불균일상 기체분리막을 제조하여, 이막의 흡착제 함유량 변화에 따른 기체 투과성 및 발효가스중 특정성분 기체의 선택특성을 연구하였다. 본 연구는 김치를 포함한 우리나라 전통 식품의 밀폐포장내에서 발생되는 발효가스를 효율적으로 제거 또는 방출하기 위한 포장재 개발 연구에 대한 기초 연구로서 수행되었다.

O/W/O(oil in water in oil)형 유화액막에 의한 2성분 탄화수소 혼합물인 toluene-cyclo hexane의 분리에 있어서 투과율, 막의 안정성과 분리계수에 미치는 영향을 계면활성제 농도, emulsion과 용매와의 교반속도 등을 변수로 하여 실험하였다. 계면활성제의 농도가 증가함에 따라 투과율은 증가하는데 0.5wt% 이상에서는 증가율이 둔화 되었다. 막 파괴율은 0.1wt%에서 가장 낮게 나타났으며, 그 이상에서는 농도가 증가하면서 파괴율도 증가하였다. 또한 분리계수는 계면활성제의 농도가 0.5wt%에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 에멀젼 제조 시 교반속도 변화에서는 투과율이나 막 파괴율에 큰 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 막 강화제의 농도가 증가함에 따라 투과율은 감소하였고, 에멀젼과 용매의 접촉 시 교반속도가 증가 할수록 막 파괴율도 증가하였다.

In order to prepare high performance polymeric membrane, the crosslinked chitosan(C. Chitosan)membrane was prepared, the transport and the selective separation of the metal ions through the membrane were investigated. It was observed that the transport rates of the metal ions through the membrane increased according to the decreasing of the initial pH in downstream solution. Proton pump mechanism for this transport phenomenon was suggested. The transport selectivity is dependent on the selective adsorption resulting from the complex formation of chitosan with each metal ion. The separatin factor(${\alpha}_{Cu}{^{2+}}$) for the membrane was 9.5.

고분자분리막을 이용한 기체 혼합물의 분리방법은 심냉법(cryogenic process), 가압기체흡착법(Pressure adsorption)과 더불어 상업적으로 중요한 기체분리공정으로 부각되고 있다. 특히 고분자막 중 Polyimide 막은 열적, 화학적으로 안정하고 기체에 대한 선택성이 높으며 기계적 성질이 뛰어나 좋은 막소재로 알려져 있다. 그러나 투과도와 선택도사이에 일반적으로 Trade-off 현상이 있어서 투과도와 선택도를 동시에 향상 하려는 연구가 수행중에 있다. 본 연구에서는 높은 산소투과도를 갖는다고 보고된 6FDA-p-TeMPD막에 hexafluoropropene (HEP)으로 Plasma polymerization을 시키거나 CF$_4$, Ar기체가 플라즈마처리하여 투과특성을 개선시키고 이를 비교 고찰하였다.

In this study, composite membrane is prepared by Layer-by-Layer method using hydrophobic polymer as a coating material on the polysulfone support. The existence of coating layer on the surface and cross section was confirmed by the scanning electronic microscopy. The flux and rejection of the resulting membranes were characterized using 100 ppm NaCl feed solution. PVSA, PEI, PAA, PSSA, PSSA_MA were used as a coating polymer in this study. The composite membrane prepared by using 8,000 ppm PAA solution (Ion strength = 0.35, Coating time = 3 min) and 10,000 ppm PEI solution (Coating time = 4 min). As a result, PAA-PEI composite membrane showed flux of 101 LMH and salt rejection of 66.7%. The composite membrane showed the comparable performance as good as NE 4040-70 (Flux = 30 LMH, Rejection = 40~70%) model produced by Toray Chemical co.

Surface crosslinked chitosan composite membranes were prepared with glutaraldehyde and surfuric acid. Effects of neutralization for complex between chitosan and acetic acid and of water permeability for substrate membranes on pervaporation performance were investigated. For ionically crosskinked membranes, effect of active layer thickness on separation factor of water/ethanol mixture was studied. With increasing the water permeability of the substrate, the membrane showed an increased separation factor, while it maintained a constant permeate flux. Neutralized chitosan composite membranes revealed a decreased separation factor and a constant permeate flux. When the thickness of the active layer increased, an optimum crosslinking time to achieve higher separation factor shifted to a prolonged times.

Influence of concentration polarization has been investigated on the vapor permeation of VOCs/$N_2$ mixture. Po]y(dimethylsiloxane)(PD,vIS) membrane which had a good affinit~, toward VOCs was emploj,'c'Cl in this study. The chlorinated hydmcarbons which were part of homologous series of chrolomelhane and chrolocthane were used as organic vapor. The vapor permeation experiments were calTied out at various VOCs feed concentrations. operating temperatures and feed flow rates. With decreasing feed flow rate. the membrane perfonnance, that is. penneation rate and selectivity were reduced in the permeation of VOCs/$N_2$ mixture. Especially the reducing of the membrane performance was founel to be more significant when the condensibility of voe was greater. voe content in the feed mixture was higher or operating temperature was lower. These observations were discussed in terms of the influence of con-centration polarizalion on the permeation of VOCSINl mixture through the PDMS membrane.
