In this research the polyethersulfone hollow fiber membrane was used to separate Sulfur Hexafluoride ($SF_6$) which is the one of the six greenhouse gases from Air ($N_2$). The effects of the non-solvent (Acetone, Ethanol) type, air-gap and post-treatment (surface silicon coating) were investigated by the structure and performance of the membranes. The structure change of the membrane was examined by scanning electron microscope. The single gas permeation using $N_2$, $SF_6$ through the membrane surface coated with silicon showed maximum 7.64 perm-selectivity improved 3.4 times.

ZIFs (Zeolitic imdazolate frameworks) have attracted great attention as membrane materials in recent years due to their high chemical and thermal stability, high specific surface area and adjustable pore structure. In this study, ZIF-8 membranes were synthesized by in-situ growth method on two different support materials (${\alpha}$-alumina and YSZ) and their $H_2/CO_2$ gas permeation characteristics were investigated. In order to synthesize defect-free ZIF-8 layer, YSZ support required less synthesis time than ${\alpha}$-alumina support due to smaller pore size. After in-situ growth for 3 h, ZIF-8 membranes prepared on both YSZ and ${\alpha}$-alumina supports showed $H_2/CO_2$ selectivity of about 10.

In this study, application of polypropylene hollow fiber membrane contactors for $CO_2$ removal from water in liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) mode was simulated. For this purpose, a steady state 2D mathematical model was developed. In this model axial and radial diffusion was considered to $CO_2$ permeation through the hollow fibers. $CO_2$ laden water is fed at a constant flow rate into the lumen side, permeated through the pores of membrane and at the end of this process, $CO_2$ solution in the lumen side was extracted by means of aqueous diethanolamine (DEA) and chemical reaction. The simulation results were validated with the experimental data and it was found a good agreement between them, which confirmed the reliability of the proposed model. Both simulation and experimental results confirmed the reduction in the percentage of $CO_2$ removal by increment of feed flow rate.

Total impurity analysis of a primary standard solution is one of the essential procedures to determine an accurate concentration of the standard solution by the gravimetry. Bi impurity is determined in Pb standard solutions by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The direct nebulization of the Pb standard solution produces a significant amount of the Pb matrix-induced molecular ions which give rise to a serious spectral interference to the Bi determination. In order to avoid the spectral interference from the interferent $^{208}PbH^+$, the hydride generation method is employed for the matrix separation. The Bi hydride vapor is generated by reaction of the sample solution with 1% sodium borohydride solution. The vapor is then directed by argon carrier gas into the ICP after separation from the mixture solution in a liquid-gas separator made of a polytetrafluoroethylene membrane tube. The presence of 1000 ${\mu}$g/mL Pb matrix caused reduction of the bismuthine generation efficiency by about 40%. The standard addition method is used to overcome the chemical interference from the Pb matrix. Optimum conditions are investigated for the hydride-generation ICPMS. The detection limit of this method is 0.5 pg/mL for the sample solutions containing 1000 ${\mu}$g/mL Pb matrix.

폴리이미드 분리막에 의한 $CCl_2F_2/Air$ 혼합물의 분리특성에 관하여 온도, 압력, stage cut(${\theta}$), 주입기체 조성등의 영향을 규명하였다. 본 연구의 실험범위 내에서 이상분리인자(ideal separation factor)는 600-200이었으며, glassy polymer인 폴리이미드 분리막에 대하여 투과도가 높은 air의 투과도는 $CCl_2F_2$ (dichlorodifluoromethane, CFC-12)에 의하여 상당히 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 그러나, 폴리이미드 분리막에 대한 투과도가 낮은 $CCl_2F_2$의 투과도는 air에 의하여 투과도가 증가하였다. 또한, 수학적 모델에 의한 예측치가 실험치와 잘 일치됨을 알 수 있었다.

In the Fourth Industrial Revolution, hydrogen energy is in the spotlight. There is a difficulty in commercialization due to the lack of hydrogen infrastructure. Therefore, a lot of hydrogen should be imported and a method using ammonia is the most useful. In this study, using the mixed gas of hydrogen and nitrogen generated when ammonia is decomposed, the hydrogen separation performance is to be tested. Hydrogen was separated using an electrochemical hydrogen compressor based on a fuel cell and the experiment was conducted by changing the ratio of hydrogen and nitrogen. In addition, the performance was also compared by the difference both the pressure and the membrane.

The soluble polyimides(PMDA/diamine/dianhydride) were prepared and investigated. After coating the prepared PMDA/diamine/dianhydride solution into the commercial tubular alumina ceramic membranes, gas permeation characteristics was investigated. $T_g{\prime}s$ of the polyimides were in the range of $337{\sim}358^{\circ}C$ and thermal stability was good. The polymer was soluble in NMP, DMAc, DMSO, THF, and m-cresol. The adhesion between the alumina membrane and the soluble polyimide was excellent. The soluble polyimide/alumina membranes containing 6FDA showed the highest permeability among others. The permeability of nitrogen of PMDA/1,3PDA/6FDA-alumina membrane was about $7.6{\times}10^{-7}(mol/m^2{\cdot}Pa{\cdot}s)$ in the gas permeation experiments. The ideal separation factor of $O_2/N_2$ and $H_2/N_2$ in PMDA/1,3PDA/6FDA-alumina membrane were 6.19, and 70.0, respectively.

The origin of large difference of selectivity of $C_3H_6$ over $C_3H_8$ between pure gas and mixed gas through silver polymer electrolyte membranes is investigated. Firstly, the effect of feed condition on the permeance of mixture gas ($C_3H_6/C_3H^8$) and the separation performance is examined. Upon decrease of the $C_3\;H_6$ concentration, the $C_3H_6$ permeance decreased whereas the permeance of $C_3H_8$ increased, resulting in the decrease of the selectivity of $C_3H_6/C_3H_8/.$ This result is ascribed to the $C_3H_6$-induced plasticization of membranes. Experimental results were validated by means of mathematical modeling, where pressure independent permeabilities were used.

압축공기 중의 수분은 공압설비의 모든 요소에 중대한 해를 입히며 밸브의 고착, 계기의 막힘 또는 공압기기의 오작동을 일으키며 생산하는 제품의 질에 있어서도 많은 해를 입혀서 제품의 질을 떨어뜨리는 역할을 하게 된다. 따라서 수분을 제거하는 방법이 필요하며 기존의 냉동식 및 흡착식을 대신하여 분리막 법이 적용될 수 있다. 현재 제습용 기체분리막 모듈은 적용이 시작된 단계에 있다. 제습용 기체분리막은 의료기기, 분석기기, Instrument air 장비에 응용이 진행되고 있다. 최근 들어 선진각국 뿐만 아니라 국내에서도 막소재 개발, 복합막 개발, 모듈 개발, 시스템 설계 및 제작 기술 개발이 진행되고 있다. 현재로서는 제습막공정에 적합한 막소재의 개발이 시급하지만 이후 적용확대를 위해서는 제습용 기체분리막의 신뢰성 향상을 위한 다각도의 노력이 필요하다.

1. 서론 : 공기중의 산소와 질소를 분리하여 공기 중에 21% 함유된 산소를 보다 높은 농도(21%이상)로 농축하기 위한 기초자료로서 건조 산소(dry O$_2$)와 건조 질소(dry N$_2$)의 투과도를 측정하였다. 그러나 공기중에는 항상 수분이 포함되어 있으므로 공기 중에 함유된 수분(water vapour)에 의한 산소 투과도와 질소 투과도의 변화를 측정하기 위하여 상대숩도 및 압력차이에 따른 영향을 고찰하였다. 그리고 분리막공정에서 순수기체의 막에 대한 투과도를 알 수 있다면 기체 혼합물에 대한 이상분리인자(ideal separation factor)를 알 수 있으며, 이를 이용하여 분리막의 분리 성능 예측이 가능하므로 투과도 예측식을 얻는다는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 counter-current model을 이용하여 기체 혼합물의 투과도를 예측하고 실험치와 비교하였다.
