Poly vinyl chloride (PVC) was chemically modified, and used for ultrafiltration to analyze the performance. Non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) method was used to prepare membranes. The neat PVC membrane was casted and used as a control membrane. Modified membrane was prepared by reacting PVC with ethanolamine (EA) in the casting solution (labeled as CM-PVC). Pure water permeability (PWP) was evaluated by measuring pure water flux. Humic acid was used as model foulant solute to analyze flux and rejection ability of membranes. Flux and rejection data of neat and modified membranes were compared to prove the improvement in the filtration performance. The experimental results showed that for PVC and CM-PVC, PWP was calculated to be ~64 and ${\sim}143L/m^2{\cdot}h$, respectively, and the rejection of humic acid was found to be 98% and 100%, respectively. TGA was carried out to analyze the effect of chemical modification on the thermal stability of polymer. FT-IR analysis was another characterization technique used for the comparative study.

In a desalination technology using RO membranes, chemical cleaning makes damage for membrane surface and membrane life be shortened. In this research cleaning technology using direct osmosis (DO) was introduced to apply it under the condition of high pH and high concentration of feed. When the high concentration of feed is injected to the concentrate side after release of operating pressure, then backward flow occurred from treated water toward concentrated for osmotic pressure. This flow reduces fouling on the membrane surface. Namely, flux of DO was monitored under pH 3, 5, 10 and 12 conditions at feed concentrations of NaCl 40,000 mg/L, 120,000 mg/L and 160,000 mg/L. As a result, DO flux in pH 12 increased about 21% than pH 3. DO cleaning was performed under the concentrate NaCl 160,000 mg/L of pH 12 during 20 minutes. Three kinds of synthetic feed water were used as concentrates. They consisted of organic, inorganic and seawater; chemicals of SiO2 (200 mg/L), humic acid (50 mg/L) sodium alginate (50 mg/L) and seawater. As a result, fluxes were recovered to 17% in organic fouling, 15% in inorganic fouling and 14% of seawater fouling after cleaning using DO under the condition of concentrate NaCl 160,000 mg/L of pH 12.

Perovskite type ceramic membranes which exhibit dual ion conduction (proton and oxygen ion conduction) can permeate water and can aid solving operational problems such as temperature gradient and carbon deposition associated with a working solid oxide fuel cell. From this point of view, it is crucial to reveal water transport mechanism and especially the nature of the surface sites that is necessary for water incorporation and evolution. $BaCe_{0.8}Y_{0.2}O_{3-{\alpha}}$ (BCY20) was used as a model proton and oxygen ion conducting membrane in this work. Four different catalytically modified membrane configurations were used for the investigations and water flux was measured as a function of temperature. In addition, CO was introduced to the permeate side in order to test the stability of membrane against water and $CO/CO_2$ and post operation analysis of used membranes were carried out. The results revealed that water incorporation occurs on any exposed electrolyte surface. However, the magnitude of water permeation changes depending on which membrane surface is catalytically modified. The platinum increases the water flux on the feed side whilst it decreases the flux on the permeate side. Water flux measurements suggest that platinum can block water permeation on the permeate side by reducing the access to the lattice oxygen in the surface layer.

In this study we have evaluated the separation characteristics and concentration of sericin using tubular type ultrafiltration membrane in silk degumming solution that extracted from electrolytic reduction water process. Ultrafiltration membranes have used in sericin separation performance and the separation characteristics of membrane satisfied typical Hagen-Poiseuille equation. It had the increase of flux according to the increase of feed pressure and temperature in occasion of pure water flux. And also the flux and solute rejection had about $25{\sim}60{\ell}/m^2{\cdot}h$ and more than 95% in sericin feed solution with concentration 1.00~1.89% at feed pressure force of $3{\sim}8kgf/cm^2$ respectively. In addition, the separation performance of tubular type ultrafiltration membrane for silk degumming solution was very steady-state with long experiment time.

본 연구에서는 직접 접촉식 막증류 공정에서 운전인자에 따른 담수 투과량과 열효율을 예측하기 위해 열 및 물질전달 방정식을 이용하여 1차원 해석모델을 개발하였다. 이 해석모델의 타당성을 검증하기 위해 해석모델 결과와 기존 연구자들에 의해 수행된 실험 결과를 비교하였고 만족할 만한 결과를 얻었다. 이를 통해 DCMD 모듈에서 염수와 증류수의 입구온도 및 입구속도가 담수 투과량 및 열효율에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 그 결과 염수의 입구온도와 입구속도가 증류수의 입구온도와 입구속도보다 담수 투과량과 열효율 증가에 미치는 영향이 크기 때문에 지배적인 운전특성이라는 것을 알 수 있었다. 염수의 입구온도가 $60^{\circ}C$에서 $95^{\circ}C$로 증가할 때 담수 투과량이 21.22 $kg/m^2h$에서 71.26 $kg/m^2h$로 3.4배 증가하였고 열효율은 0.556에서 0.765로 37.5% 증가하였다. 한편, 염수의 입구속도가 60에서 300 m/h로 증가함에 따라 담수 투과량이 27.91 $kg/m^2h$에서 36.33 $kg/m^2h$로 30% 증가하였고 열효율은 0.6에서 0.646로 7.5% 증가함을 알 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 사인파형 투과유속 운전방식을 중공사형 분리막에 적용하여 운전시간에 따른 막간차압(TMP)을 측정하였다. 유효 막면적이 $100cm^2$이고 공칭 세공크기가 $0.45{\mu}m$인 중공사막 모듈을 MLSS 5,000 mg/L 활성슬러지 용액으로 투과 실험하였다. 연속적인 단계별 투과유속 변화법으로 임계 투과유속을 측정하였으며 그 값은 $26.6L/m^2{\cdot}hr$이었다. 여과운전/정지이완(FR), 정지이완시 역세척(FR/BW) 및 사인파형 투과유속 연속운전(SFCO) 방식에 따른 TMP를 측정하였다. 임계 투과유속보다 낮은 15, 20 및 $25L/m^2{\cdot}hr$에서는 SFCO 운전방식이 FR 및 FR/BW에 비하여 효과적이었다. 그러나 임계 투과유속 이상에서는 FR/BW 운전방식이 SFCO보다 효과적으로 막오염을 제어할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Scale formation is inevitable problem when seawater is treated by vacuum membrane distillation. The reason is the high concentration of calcium ion($Ca^{2+}$), sulfate ion(${SO_4}^{2-}$) and bicarbonate ion(${HCO_3}^-$). These ions form calcium sulfate($CaSO_4$) and calcium carbonate($CaCO_3$) on the membrane. The scale formed on membrane has to be removed, because the flux can be severely reduced and membrane wetting can be incurred. This study was carried out to investigate scale formation and effectiveness of acid cleaning in vacuum membrane distillation for SWRO brine treatment. It was found that permeate flux gradually declined until volume concentration factor(VCF) reached around 1.55 and membrane wetting started over VCF over 1.6 in the formation of precipitates containing $CaSO_4$ during VMD operation. In contrast, when calcium carbonate formed on membrane, permeate flux was gradually reduced until VCF 3.0. The precipitates containing both $CaSO_4$ and $CaCO_3$ were formed on the membrane surface and in the membrane pore.

A new procedure to produce poly(vinylidene fluoride)/boron nitride hybrid membrane is presented for application in membrane distillation (MD) process. The influence of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) incorporation on the performance of the polymeric membranes is studied through the present investigation. For this aim, h-BN nanopowders were successfully synthesized using the simple chemical vapor deposition (CVD) route and subsequent solvent treatments. The resulting h-BN nanosheets were blended with poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) solution. Then, the prepared composite solution was subjected to phase inversion process to obtain PVDF/h-BN hybrid membranes. Various examinations such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), wettability, permeation flux, mechanical strength and liquid entry pressure (LEP) measurements are performed to evaluate the prepared membrane. Moreover, Air gap membrane distillation (AGMD) experiments were carried out to investigate the salt rejection performance and the durability of membranes. The results show that our hybrid PVDF/h-BN membrane presents higher water permeation flux (${\sim}18kg/m^2h$) compared to pristine PVDF membrane. In addition, the experimental data confirms that the prepared nanocomposite membrane is hydrophobic (water contact angle: ${\sim}103^{\circ}$), has a porous skin layer (>85%), as well competitive fouling resistance and operational durability. Furthermore, the total salt rejection efficiency was obtained for PVDF/h-BN membrane. The results prove that the novel PVDF/h-BN membrane can be easily synthesized and applied in MD process for salt rejection purposes.

Citrus류 과실은 독특한 풍미와 영양적 가치로 인하여 전 세계적으로 널리 섭취되고 있다. 막을 이용한 과육 주스 가공시 혼탁 유발 물질을 제거하는 동시에 유기산, 당, ascorbic acid와 같은 주요 성분의 손실을 최소화하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 감귤 주스 청징화에 가장 적합한 미세여과 막을 선정하기 위하여 surface filter인 Whatman No.4와 다섯 종류의 미세여과 막(GF/A, GF/D, GF/F, Gelman, SM)을 사용하였다. 과육에 3배의 물을 혼합한 감귤 주스를 170 mesh로 거른 후 미세여과 막이 장착된 Samduck 여과 시스템에서 막 분리하였다. 시간에 따른 flux와 HPLC로 분석한 여액내 유용성분 함량을 SAS 프로그램으로 통계처리하여 최적막을 선정하였으며 막 표면에 침착된 물질은 SEM으로 관찰하였다. 유의수준 0.10에서 시간 경과에 따라 GF/A와 GF/F 막의 flux는 감소하였으며 Gelman, SM, GF/D 막은 안정한 flux를 유지하였다. Citrate, malate 및 ascorbic acid의 농도로 대변되는 영약적 지표와 brix와 색도로 대변되는 구매 지표를 합한 종합적인 점수는 Gelman 막이 가장 높았다. 따라서, 미세여과법이 청징화시 매우 효과적인 공정이었으며 세공의 크기와 막 재질이 다양한 미세여과 막중 Gelman 막이 감귤 주스 청징화에 가장 적합한 막으로 판명되었다.
