A membrane bioreactor (MBR) is an effective tool for wastewater treatment with recycling. MBR process has several advantages over conventional activated sludge process (ASP); reliability, compactness, and quality of treated water. The resulting high-quality and disinfected effluents suggest that MBR process can be suitable for the reused and recycling of wastewater. An anoxic/oxic (A/O) type MBR was applied to simultaneous removal of organics and nutrients in sewage. At first, the efficiency of submerged MBR process was investigated using a hollow fiber microfiltration membrane with a constant flux of $10.2L/m^2{\cdot}h$ at each solids retention time (SRT). Results showed that protein/carbohydrate (P/C) ratio increased and total extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) remained constant with SRT increased. Secondly, A/O type MBR with a reverse osmosis (RO) membrane was employed to treat the municipal wastewater. The performance of A/O type MBR-RO process is better for the treatment of organics and nutrients than ASP-MF-RO process in terms of consistent effluents quality.

Combined membrane process of ceramic microfiltration (MF) and polymer ultrafiltration (UF) was optimized for the removal of color and total organic carbon (TOC) from textile wastewater. Membrane regeneration was performed for the efficient operation by backflushing and chemical cleaning. Flux of 10.3% increased by the pulse backflushing of 1 second every 2 minutes in ceramic microfiltration. Membrane regeneration of 97% was obtained by chemical cleaning with 0.1% sodium hydroxide in polymer ultrafiltration. The removal efficiency of TOC, color and SS (suspended solid) were 84.6%, 97.4% and 100%, respectively. The combined process was found to be suitable for the removal of color and residual organics from textile wastewater.

The permeation experiments were carried out for the nominal pore size $0.1\;{\mu}m$ and 5 mm inner diameter microfiltration tubular membrane equipped with self-designed discharging rod in order to determine the effect of fouling reduction. Dioctyl tinoxide (DOTO) latex particle was used to prepare up to 0.5 wt% concentration of feed solution, and the experiments were operated within 1.6 bar. The permeation flux effect on the discharged rod was measured as a result of flux comparison between the cases of equipped and non-equipped discharge rod modules for every experiment. The permeation flux for the case using the discharged rod was enhanced to 20% at 1.6 bar operating pressure. The improvement on permeation flux for using the discharged rod was greater as the concentration of feed increased, and reached up to 43% under 0.5 wt% concentration of feed solution.

This work is a fundamental study for applying hybrid process coupling adsorption with microfiltration to waste-water treatment. Phenol was separated by adsorption on powdered activated carbon, adsorbed phenol with activated carbon was separated by microfiltration. As the particle size in suspension increased, filtration resistance decreased, and effect of particle concentration on resistance was less pronounced. The rate of uptake was greatly dependent on the degree of phenol loading. For a smaller amounts of activated carbon, the change of permeate concentration before break point and phenol loading with time were steeper than in the case of large amounts. Permeate concentration before break point decreased with decreasing particle size, this could be due to the increase of outer surface of particle and film mass transfer coefficient.

TiO2 membranes for microfiltration were prepared on $\alpha$-alumina support tube by slurry coating. The coating layer was obtained by flowing TiO2 slip on the inner surface of the alumina support. TiO2 membranes were heat-treated at 9$25^{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs. The thickness of the unsupported membrane was about 10${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The mean pore diameter of the membranes were 0.09 and 0.15${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ respectively and the pure water flux was 900~1,200ι/m2.hr at room temperature and 1 bar. For a possible application of oily wastewater treatement an kerosene/wa-ter emulsion was separated in terms of flux and removal efficiency. In 60 min of operating time the flux of TiO2 membranes was 50~100 ι/m2.hr and removal efficiency was over 97% at 3kgf/cm2 of operating pres-sure and 600 ml/min of flow rate. TiO2 membranes could be recycled by reheat treatments at $600^{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs.

0.1 내지 $4 \mum$의 입도분포를 가진 kaolin용액을 dead-end형 여과 장치(Amicon Cell, 8050)를 이용하여 공칭세공이 $0.2 \mum$인 PTFE막으로 농도 및 운전압력에 따른 투과실험을 하였다. Kaolin 용액의 투과유속은 케이크 저항이 지배적이었으며 초기에는 분리막 표면에 케이크가 형성되고 그 후에 분리막 세공의 오염이 발생하는 것으로 관찰되었다.
