The objective of this study was to investigate the effecs of fouling mitigation for ceramic ball in cooling water system experimentally. The devices filled with ceramic balls were connected to the bypass line of the heat exchanging system. Cooling water in the heat exchanging system was artificial water. To visualize the formation of fouling on the heat transfer surface a number of images were obtained using a CCD camera with real-time microscopy. Fouling resistances and overall heat transfer coefficients were measured in order to analyze fouling mitigation effects. We found that the ceramic ball devices for artificial water reduced the formation of fouling compared to the no-mitigation devices.

본 총설에서는 전기투석 공정의 운전과 설계 능력 향상을 위해 이온교환막의 막오염현상에 관한 연구를 조사하였다. 이온교환막의 막오염현상을 정량적으로 평가하기 위해 압력차를 구동력으로 하는 막공정의 막오염지수와 유사한 전기투석 막오염지수(EDMFI)를 정의하였다. 막오염현상은 무기오염원인 실리카졸과 유기 오염원인 휴믹산과 BSA를 함유한 전기 투석 실험 결과를 비교하여 연구되었다. 이 비교에서 EDMFI는 전기투석 공정의 막오염경향을 정량적인 척도로 유용하게 이용될 수 있음을 보여주었다. 새로운 오염저감 기술로 사각파 전원이 유효함이 유기 오염물을 포함한 전기투석 실험결과에서 보고되었다. 이펄스 형태의 사각파 전원은 최적주파수에서 막오염현상을 현저하게 감소시킬 수 있었다.

The present experimental study aimed to investigate the feasibility of physical water treatment (PWT) devices using catalytic materials to mitigation of crystalization fouling. Two PWT devices having different shape and material were used. The results from microscopic observation and SEM photographs demonstrate that the crystal structure of $CaCO_3$ is Argonite type without water treatment while Calcite type with water treatment, which clearly shows the feasibility of PWT techinque using catalytic materials to mitigate crystalization fouling. For 500 ppm solution, the fouling resistance decreased up to about 23% due to physical water treatment using catalytic materials. The results also reveal that if two more techniques are used simultaneously the additional effects could be expected.

Anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) treatment has been widely studied in recent years because of the potential for production of bio-energy from wastewater and energy-positive operation of wastewater treatment plants. Several AnMBR systems, including those that incorporate ceramic membranes, take advantage of enhanced water permeability and low membrane fouling potentials. Given that differences in the ceramic membranes may influence the results of AnMBR studies, relevant details are discussed in this review, which focuses on the profiles of common ceramic membranes used in AnMBR, treatment and filtration performances of different anaerobic ceramic membrane bioreactors (AnCMBRs), and the membrane fouling mitigation methods available for effective AnCMBRs operation. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive summary of AnCMBR performance, feed wastewater characteristics, operating conditions, and the methods available for effective fouling mitigation.

The objective of the present study was to investigate the efficacy of physical water treatment (PWT) technologies using different catalytic materials and an electronic anti-fouling device in the mitigation of mineral fouling in a once-through flow system with mini-channel heat exchanger. Effects of flow velocity and water hardness on the effectiveness of PWT technologies were experimentally studied. The artificial water hardness varied from 5.0 to 10 mo1/m$^{3}$ as CaCO$_{3}$. For 10 mo1/m$^{3}$ solution, fouling resistance reduced by 13-40$\%$ depending on flow velocity and types of PWT devices. On the other hand, fouling resistance reduced by 21-29$\%$ depending on the PWT devices for 5 mo11m3 solutions. The PWT device using alloy of Cu and Zn as catalyst (CM2) was slightly more effective than the others. SEM photographs of scale produced from the 10 mol/m$^{3}$ solution at 1.0 m/s indicated that calcium carbonate scales without PWT devices were needle-shaped aragonite, which is sticky, dense and difficult to remove. Scales with the PWT devices showed a cluster of spherical or elliptic shape crystals. Both the heat transfer test results and SEM photographs strongly support the efficacy of PWT technologies using catalytic materials and an electronic anti-fouling device in the mitigation of mineral fouling.

The objective of the Present study is to investigate the performance of electronic scale mitigation unit(ESMU), which reduces the amount of scale in a heat exchanger. A plate heat exchanger with 20 thermal plates is used for the tests. In order to accelerate the rate of fouling in a laboratory test artificial hard water of 2000 ppm(as $CaCO_3$) is recirculated at a flow rate 5L/min throughout the tests. The overall heat trans(or coefficients and fouling factors are examined. Results show that the ESMU technology can significantly reduce the scale deposits.

Although membrane bio-reactor (MBR) has been widely applied for wastewater treatment plants, the membrane fouling problems are still considered as an obstacle to overcome. Thus, many studies and commercial developments on mitigating membrane fouling in MBR have been carried out. Recently, high voltage impulse (HVI) has gained attention for a possible alternative technique for desalting, non-thermal sterilization, bromate-free disinfection and mitigation of membrane fouling. In this study, it was verified if the HVI could be used for mitigation of membrane fouling, particularly the internal pore fouling in MBR. The HVI was applied to the fouled membrane under different conditions of electric fields (E) and contact time (t) of HVI in order to investigate how much of internal pore fouling was reduced. The internal pore fouling resistance (R_f) after HVI induction was reduced as both E and t increased. For example, R_f decreased by 19% when the applied E was 5 kV/cm and t was 80 min. However, the R_f decreased by 71% as the E increased to 15 kV/cm under the same contact time. The correlation between E and t that needed for 20% of R_f reduction was modeled based on kinetics. The model equation, E^1.54t = 1.2 × 10³ was obtained by the membrane filtration data that were obtained with and without HVI induction. The equation states the products of En and t is always constant, which means that the required contact time can be reduced in accordance with the increase of E.

본 연구에서는 $TiO_2$ 나노입자로 표면침적된 polyethersulfone (PES) 정밀여과 분리막이 자연유기물로 인한 분리막 막힘현상(파울링)에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. $TiO_2$ 나노입자로 표면침적된 PES 정밀여과 분리막의 자연유기물 파울링 거동에 $TiO_2$ 나노입자의 결정구조와 용액의 pH 그리고 $Ca^{+2}$이 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 연구결과, $TiO_2$ 나노입자로 표면 개질된 정밀여과 분리막은 자연유기물에 의한 파울링 현상을 현저하게 감소시킬 수 있음을 확인 할 수 있었다. 그러나 이와같은 현상은 $TiO_2$ 나노입자의 결정구조와 용액의 성상에 매우 의존하는 것으로 나타났다. 자연유기물 파울링의 감소는 결정구조가 상대적으로 불안정한 anatase $TiO_2$ 나노입자를 분리막에 표면침적 시, 용액 중 $Ca^{+2}$이 존재하지 않을 때 상대적으로 높은 pH에서 효과적인 것으로 관찰되었다. 그러나 $Ca^{+2}$의 첨가 시 이와 같은 효과는 높은 pH에서 더욱 증가할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 반면, 결정구조가 상대적으로 안정한 rutile $TiO_2$ 나노입자의 경우 자연유기물의 파울링 감소는 용액의 조성에 큰 영향을 받지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

대체수자원 중 막여과 기술에 대한 관심이 지속적으로 높아지고 있다. 하지만, 이러한 막여과 기술에는 fouling이 발생시 효율저감, flux저감, 소모에너지 증대 등 문제점이 발생한다. 이러한 fouling저감을 위해 막 표면특성분석을 통한 기초연구가 필요하다고 보고 이 연구를 진행하였다. AFM을 이용하여 CML입자와 막의 상호작용을 통해 초기 막오염 경향을 예측할 수 있다.
