BSA 용액의 전량 한외여과에서 막모듈의 중력에 대한 경사각($0{\sim}180^{\circ}$) 변화에 따라 유발된 자연대류 불안정 흐름(natural convection instability flow; NCIF)의 막오염 제어 효과를 플럭스 증가 정도로 측정하고 막힘여과 모델로 해석하였다. 막모듈의 경사각이 $0^{\circ}$에서 $180^{\circ}$로 커질수록 NCIF 유발이 증가하여 막오염 제어 효과가 커져 플럭스가 증가하였다. NCIF의 유발이 가장 큰 경사각 $180^{\circ}$에서의 플럭스 값을 NCIF의 유발이 없는 $0^{\circ}$에서의 값과 비교한 결과, 2시간의 단기간 운전에서는 플럭스 향상성이 5배, 20시간의 장기간 운전에서는 17배까지 증가하였다. 막힘여과 모델을 적용하여 NCIF의 유발에 따른 플럭스 증가 효과를 해석한 결과, 운전시간 15분 이내에서는 중간막힘 모델 그 이후에는 케이크여과 모델로 해석하는 것이 타당하였다. 막모듈 경사각 $180^{\circ}$에서 유발된 NCIF는 15분 이내의 운전 초기에는 중간막힘 오염을 67%까지 감소시키고, 그 이후의 운전 시간에서는 케이크층 오염을 99.9%까지 감소시켰다. 따라서 막모듈에 유발된 NCIF의 주된 막오염 제어 기작은 케이크층 형성을 억제시키는 것이었다.

In order to recycle the waste material and to develop the thickening unit of waste activated sludge from wastewater treatment facilities, the filtration bio-reactor equipped with a shadow mask filter module was employed for this work from which the operating properties and parameters were drawn. The sludge thickening and filtration unit is made of cylindrical acryl tank(12cm i.d. ${\times}$ 58cm height: working volume of 6L), where the flat-sheet type of shadow mask filter module(pore size: 220~250um, opening area: 34.8~39.6%) was installed and the effluent was withdrawn from the effluent port at the lowest point of the reactor, and the filtration was performed only by the hydraulic pressure. For evaluating the operating performance of this reactor, some parameters such as the solid-liquid separation of different biomass concentrations, the water quality of filtrate, the aeration cleaning time and the cleaning effect were investigated. Depending on the MLSS concentrations, the different time to withdraw 3L of filtrate was required in which the longer filtration time was necessary for the higher MLSS concentrations caused by the thicker formation of cake layer: 40 minutes for 5,000 mg/L, 70 minutes for 10,000 mg/L and 100 minutes for 15,000 mg/L, where the concentrations of SS were 8.9, 6.7 and 6.5 mg/L, respectively. Under the same operating conditions (the intensity of aeration cleaning: 80 L/min, MLSS: 10,000 mg/L), the proper aeration cleaning time was revealed 30 seconds, and the stable formation of cake layer was in the range of 10 to 15 minutes. Therefore, the shadow mask considered as a waste material can be of use as a filter material for the sludge thickening system.

Membrane filtration has become firmly established as a primary process for ensuring the purity, safety and efficiency of treatment of water or effluents. Several researches have been performed to develop and design membrane systems in order to increase the accuracy and performance of the processes. In this study, a lattice Boltzmann method for the cake layer has been developed using particle dynamics based on an immersed boundary method and the cake layer formation process on membrane has been numerically simulated. Case studies including various particle sizes were also performed for a microfiltration process. The growth rate of the cake layer thickness and the permeation flow rate along the membranes were predicted. The results of this study agreed well with that of previous experiments. Effects of various particle diameters on the membrane performance were studied. The cake layer of a large particle tended to be growing fast and the permeation flow going down rapidly at the beginning. The layer thickness of a small particle increased constantly and the flow rate was smaller than that of the large particle at the end of simulation time.

본 연구는 독일 Schumacher사의 1m 크기의 세라믹 캔들 필터가 1개 설치된 실험장치를 구성하여 집진시 단일 필터 주위에서의 분진 속도분포를 PDPA를 이용하여 측정하고, 분진층의 유무와 분진 투입 위치에 따른 분진 속도분포의 변화를 관찰하였다. 측정 결과 집진이 계속되어 필터 표면에 분진층이 발달함에 따라 집진 속도가 감소됨을 알 수 있었다. 특히, 투입구가 위치하는 필터표면에서 집중적으로 분진층이 발달하여 이곳에서의 분진 속도 감소가 크게 나타났다. 그리고 필터 내부와 압력용기부사이의 압력 차에 의한 필터 표면에서의 분진 속도 평균값은 0.28m/sec 이었다. 또한 분진 투입을 압력용기부 하단에 위치한 투입구로 투입하였을 때 필터 주위의 분진의 고른 속도분포를 관찰할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 Si 미립자를 함유한 반도체 세정폐수의 관형막을 이용한 한외여과특성을 검토하였다. 관형막의 시간변화에 따른 투과유속의 감소현상은 막표면에 형성된 케익층의 증가 및 기공막힘에 기인하며, cross flow는 케익여과에 의한 막오염 형태를 보였으나 dead-end flow는 기공막힘과 케익여과에 의한 혼합형태를 보였다. Cross Flow의 케익저항의 크기는 3.16$\times$$10^{12}$ ~4.34$\times$$10^{12}$ $m^{-1}$ 였고, dead-end flow 는 6.6 $\times$$10^{12}$ ~12.19$\times$$10^{12}$ $m^{-1}$였다. 운전초기의 흐름형태에 따른 투과유속은 cross flow 가 dead-end flow 의 약 7 배였다. Cross flow 투과유속은 약 42 $\ell$/$m^2$ hr, 용질배제율은 약 96 % 였으며, 분리막공정을 거친 투과수 중의 Si 입자의 평균크기는 20nm였다.

Fouling characteristics of humic substances on tight ultrafiltration (UF) membrane have been investigated. The tight UF membrane was prepared by blending polysulfone (PSf) in N.N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc) with 25%wt of Polyethylene glycol (PEG400) and 4%wt of acetone. Fouling characteristic of the modified PSf membrane was observed during peat water filtration in different trans-membrane pressure (TMP). It was found that the acetone modified membrane provided 13% increase in TMP during five hours of peat water filtration, where a stable flux was reached within 150 minutes. Meanwhile, the increase of TMP from 10 psig to 30 psig resulted in a fouling resistance enhancement of 60%. Furthermore, based on the fouling analysis, fouling mechanism at the first phase of filtration was attributed to intermediate blocking while the second phase was cake formation.

Casting behavior of Zr(Y,Ce)O2 TZP/Mullite suspension during pressure filtration was investigated to prepare multi-layered Functionally Gradient Materials(FGM). The dispersion stabilities of each layer suspension were investigated by examination of zeta potential and viscosity. The each suspensions with 20 vol.% solid loading and 100 첸 of viscosity was prepared after fix of the dispersing agent (Sodium hexa-meta phosphate) and the binder (Hydroxyethyl cellulose), and then the cakes were formed at the 2.5 MPa~10.0MPa pressure range. The cake thickness of all suspensions was increased with the square root of time at the constant pressure, and the relations between filtration pressure(P)a nd dehydration rate (Q=dh/dt) showed that the flows of filtrates in the consolidated layers were laminar. The permeabilities were nearly constant during filtration, and kozeny constants(Kc) of the suspensions were 4.8~6.7. These valumes were seen as close to 5, which might be homogeneous particle packing during filtration. On the basis of those data, the multi layered compaction with 9 mm thickness and 52.5% green density was prepared by continuous pressure filtration.

In this study, the effects of operating conditions on the formation of reversible and irreversible fouling were investigated in the filtration using ceramic membrane for water treatment process. The effect of coagulation pretreatment on fouling formation was also evaluated by comparing the performance of membrane filtration both with and without addition of coagulant. A resistance-in-series-model was applied for the analysis of membrane fouling. Total resistance (RT) and internal fouling resistance (Rf) increased in the membrane filtration process without coagulation as membrane flux and feed water concentrations increased. Internal fouling resistance, which was not recovered by physical cleaning, was more than 70% of the total resistance at the range of the membrane flux more than $5m^3/m^2{\cdot}day$. In the combined process with coagulation, the cake layer resistance (Rc) increased to about 30-80% of total resistance. As the cake layer formed by coagulation floc was easily removed by physical cleaning, the recovery rate by physical cleaning was 54~90%. It was confirmed from the results that the combined process was more efficient to recover the filtration performance by physical cleaning due to higher formation ratio of reversible fouling, resulted in the mitigation of the frequency of chemical cleaning.

In the process of crossflow microfiltration, a deposit of cake layer tends to form on the membrane, which usually controls the performance of filtration. It is found, however, that there exist a condition under which no deposit of cake layer is made. This condition is called the sub-critical flux condition, and the critical flux here means a flux below which a decline of flux with time due to the deposit of cake layer does not occur. In order to study the characteristics of the critical flux, a numerical model is developed to predict the critical flux condition, and is verified with experimental results. For development of the model, the concept of effective particle diameter is introduced to find a representative size of various particles in relation to diffusive properties of particles. The model is found to be in good match with the experimental results. The findings from the use of the model include that the critical flux condition is determined by the effective particle diameter and the ratio of initial permeate flux to crossflow velocity.

1. Introduction : In microfiltration the transport, deposition and removal of particles control cake formation on a filter. In this connection a new model on cake formation, based on the wall shear stress, was tested here in comparison with experiments of fine particle slurry under Taylor-vortex flow. The model expresses the deposition process for particles as two first-order steps in series of mass transfer and adhesion, and their removal process as a linear relation to the wall shear stress. This embraces characteristics of both dead-end and crossflow filtration. The correlation resulting from fitting to experimental data represented the experimental data reasonably well. This study will be helpful in analyzing fouling in heat exchangers.
