Combining power generation and water production by desalination is economically advantageous. Most desalination projects use fossil fuels as an energy source, and thus contribute to increased levels of greenhouse gases. Environmental concerns have spurred researchers to find new sources of energy for desalination plants. The coupling of nuclear power production with desalination is one of the best options to achieve growth with lower environmental impact. In this paper, we will per-form a sensitivity study of coupling nuclear power to various combinations of desalination technology: {1} thermal (MSF [Multi-Stage Flashing], MED [Multi-Effect Distillation], and MED-TVC [Multi-Effect Distillation with Thermal Vapour Compression]); {2} membrane RO [Reverse Osmosis]; and {3} hybrid (MSF-RO [Multi-Stage Flashing & Reverse Osmosis] and MED-RO [Multi-Effect Distillation & Reverse Osmosis]). The Korean designed reactor plant, the APR1400 will be modeled as the energy production facility. The economical evaluation will then be executed using the computer program DEEP (Desalination Economic Evaluation Program) as developed by the IAEA. The program has capabilities to model several types of nuclear and fossil power plants, nuclear and fossil heat sources, and thermal distillation and membrane desalination technologies. The output of DEEP includes levelized water and power costs, breakdowns of cost components, energy consumption, and net saleable power for any selected option. In this study, we will examine the APR1400 coupled with a desalination power plant in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) as a prototypical example. The KSA currently has approximately 20% of the installed worldwide capacity for seawater desalination. Utilities such as power and water are constructed and run by the government. Per state practice, economic evaluation for these utilities do not consider or apply interest or carrying cost. Therefore, in this paper the evaluation results will be based on two scenarios. The first one assumes the water utility is under direct government control and in this case the interest and discount rate will be set to zero. The second scenario will assume that the water utility is controlled by a private enterprise and in this case we will consider different values of interest and discount rates (4%, 8%, & 12%).

In this study, a pilot-scale (3 ㎥/day) membrane distillation (MD) process was operated to treat digestate produced from anaerobic digestion of livestock wastewater. In order to evaluate the performance and energy cost of MD process, it was compared with the pilot scale (10 ㎥/day) reverse osmosis (RO) process, expected competitive process, under same feed condition. As results, MD process shows stable permeate flux (average 10.1 L/㎡/hr) until 150 hours, whereas permeate flux of RO process was decreased from 5.3 to 1.5 L/㎡/hr within 24 hours. In the case of removal of COD, TN, and TP, MD process shows a high removal rate (98.7, 93.7, and 99% respectively) stably until 150 hours. However, in the case of RO process, removal rate was decreased from 91.6 to 69.5% in COD and from 93.7 to 76.0% in TP during 100 hours of operation. Removal rate of TN in RO process was fluctuated in the range of 34.5-62.9% (average 44.6%) during the operation. As a result of energy cost analysis, MD process using waste heat for heating the feed shows 18% lower cost compare with RO process. Thus, overall efficiency of the MD process is higher then that of the RO process in terms of permeate flux, removal rate of salts, and operating cost (in the case of using waste heat) in treating the anaerobic digestate of livestock wastewater.

Shale gas has become increasingly important as a viable alternative to conventional gas resources. However, one of the critical issues in the development of shale gas is the generation of produced water, which contains high concentration of ionic compounds (> TDS of 100,000 mg/L). Accordingly, membrane distillation (MD) was considered to treat such produced water. Experiments were carried out using a laboratory-scale direct contact MD (DCMD). Synthetic produced water was prepared to examine its fouling propensity in MD process. Antiscalants and in-line filtration were applied to control fouling by scale formation. Fouling rates (-dJ/dt) were calculated for in-depth analysis of fouling behaviors. Results showed that severe fouling occurred during the treatment of high range produced water (TDS of 308 g/L). Application of antiscalant was not effective to retard scale formation. On the other hand, in-line filtration increased the induction time and reduced fouling.

본 연구에서는 물과 전기의 동시 생산이 가능한 pressure retarded membrane distillation (PRMD)의 폐루프식 구성 디자인을 기수담수화에 적용해 최적 운전 조건과 성능 평가를 수행하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 80 ℃ 이상의 폐열이 공급될 때 순 에너지 생산량이 양수 값을 보이며 90 ℃ 이상일 때 안정적인 전력 생산이 가능한 것을 확인할 수 있었고 최적 유입수 유량은 0.6 kg/s를 나타냈다. 이 조건에서 3 g/L의 기수가 유입될 때 순 에너지 생산량은 2.56 W/m², 물 플럭스는 8.04 kg/m²/hr의 값을 나타냈다. 기수의 농도가 1-3 g/L로 변화할 때 물 플럭스나 에너지 생산량은 큰 변화가 나타나지 않았고, 해수가 유입수로 사용될 때와 비교하면 더 높은 물 플럭스와 순 에너지 생산량을 보였다. 이를 통해 에너지 생산이라는 측면에 집중한다면 기수를 사용해서 PRMD를 운전하는 것이 더 효율적이라는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Membrane distillation (MD) is the thermally driven water separation process based on the vapor pressure difference across the membrane. In order to increase the water recovery of the conventional RO process, the additional MD-PRO pocess was suggested. In this study, the syntheric RO brine was used as a feed solution of the MD process. Due to the high salinity of the RO brine, the MD membrane could be fouled by the scalants. In order to mitigate the scaling on the MD membrane surface, the pre-treatment process using the column filled by natural zeolite was applied. The roughing filter was installed between the pre-treatment process and MD system in order to prevent possible particulate fouling by the debries of the natural zeolite. Moreover, in order to enhance the CEC of the natural zeolite, the NaCl soaking was conducted. The flux and electronic conductivity were monitored under given experimental conditions. And the membrane morphology and the chemical compositions were analyzed by using the SEM-EDX.

분리막 투과증발은 증류에 비하여 낮은 에너지를 요구하기 때문에 물/유기물 혼합물의 분리에 이용될 수 있으며 공비 혼합물이나 이성질체의 분리에 선호되는 방법이다. 제올라이트 분리막은 고분자 분리막에 비하여 열적, 기계적, 화학적 안정성이 우수하며 NaA 제올라이트 분리막은 큰 친수성을 나타내므로 물/유기물 혼합물로부터 효율적인 물 분리에 적합하다. 본 연구에서는 NaA 제올라이트 분리막을 이용한 투과증발 막분리 공정을 이용하여 물/에탄올 혼합물에서 선택적으로 물을 분리하고자 하였다. 에탄올의 공급 농도가 증가함에 따라 총투과플럭스는 감소하였으며 선택도는 증가한 후 높은 에탄올 농도에서 감소하는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 실험 온도의 증가에 따라 총투과플럭스는 증가하였으며 선택도 또한 증가하였지만 높은 에탄올 농도에서는 감소하였다. 160시간 이상의 장기간 실험을 통하여 총투과플럭스와 선택도가 안정적으로 일정함을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 본 연구를 통하여 얻어진 NaA 제올라이트 분리막은 증류 및 PVA 계열 고분자 분리막보다 우수한 성능을 나타냄을 알 수 있었다.

The membrane technology is more convenient and economical way in the separation field than conventional technology such as distillation, extration, crystallization, and so on. Therefore, membrane are used as efficient tools for the separation and concentration of molecular mixture in many industrial area. Although the polymeric membrane have various advantage, they have disadvantages as well. One of them is a poor resistance to organic solvent. Therefore, organic solvent resistant membranes were prepared by soluble polyimide. prepared by phase inversion method. The membranes were The homogeneous polymer solutions were obtained by the two different method ; the one is that the polymer sythesized was completely dissolved in a solvent to prepare a membrane casting solution, the other is that a membrane casting solution was prepared by the unit process from the viscose solution of polymerization.

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.

산소와 질소는 공업적으로 공기를 분리하여 생산하는데, 이 분리공정에는 심냉법 (cryogenic distillation), PSA법 (pressure swing adsorption) 그리고 분리막법 등이 사용되고 있다. 현재는 위의 세가지 공정중에서 PSA법이 가장 널리 채택되고 있는 공정이다. 그런데, 고분자막을 이용하는 분리공정은 설비투자면에서 뿐만 아니라 에너지 절약측면에서 큰 이점을 갖고 있기 때문에 최근 들어 점차 주목 받고 있다 [1]. 그러나, 고분자막에서의 기체의 투과도와 선택도는 서로 상반적인 관계 (trade-off)에 있기 때문에 공기중의 산소와 질소의 분리를 위해서는 기존의 고분자들에 비해 투과도와 선택도가 동시에 개선된 새로운 막 소재의 개발이 절실하므로 이에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다 [2].
