  • There is a possibility of the production of the air bubbles in membrane pores due to the reduction in pressure during membrane filtration. The effect of fine air bubbles from dissolved gases on microfiltration was investigated in the submerged membrane bio-reactor (SMBR). The $R_{air}$ (air bubble resistance) was defined as the filtration resistance due to the air bubbles formed from the gasification of dissolved gases. From the results of filtration tests using pure water with changes in the dissolved oxygen concentration, the air bubbles from dissolved gases were confirmed to act as a foulant and; thus, increase the filtration resistance. The standard pore blocking and cake filtration models, SPBM and CFM, respectively, were applied to investigate the mechanism of air bubble fouling on a hollow fiber membrane. However, the application of the SPBM and CFM were limited in explaining the mechanism due to the properties of air bubble. With a simple comparison of the different filtration resistances, the $R_{air}$ portion was below 1% of the total filtration resistance during sludge filtration. Therefore, the air bubbles from dissolved gases would only be a minor foulant in the SMBR. However, under the conditions of a high gasification rate from dissolved gases, the effect of air bubble fouling should be considered in microfiltration.

  • Among various industries, the textile industry uses the largest amount of water for coloring textiles which leads to a large amount of wastewater containing various kinds of dye. There are various methods for the removal of dye such as flocculation, ozone treatment, adsorption, etc. But these processes are not much successful due to the issue of recycling which enhances the cost. Alternatively, the membrane separation process for the treatment of dye in wastewater is already documented as the best available technique. Polymeric membrane and ceramic membrane are two separate groups of separation membranes. Advantages of ceramic membranes include the ease of cleaning, long lifetime, good chemical and thermal resistance, and mechanical stability. Ceramic membranes can be prepared from various sources and natural materials like clay, zeolite, and fly ash are very cheap and easily available. In this review separation of wastewater is classified into mainly three groups: ultrafiltration (UF), microfiltration (MF), and nanofiltration (NF) process.

  • Recently, due to the primary emphasis of environmental problem, the proper selection of the membrane systems necessary for waste water treatment has been one of the critical issues in the industrial sector. This paper shows how an Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) model can be used for assessing the performance of selected membrane systems: ultrafiltration, microfiltration, reverse osmosis, and electrodialysis essential for waste water treatments. The final results show that ultrafiltration is the most attractive membrane system to use in a water recycling system, followed by microfiltration, reverse osmosis and electrodialysis. This is consistent with the information that we found with respect to the elements that were taken into consideration. Sensitivity analysis is also provided here.

  • This study aims to develop an economic process for the treatment of industrial wastewater containing hydrogen peroxide by using catalase. Core process is characterized by two membranes; microfiltration membrane and ultrafiltration membrane with different molecular cut-offs. Optimum dilution ratio of Aspergillus niger molds 개 buffer solution is 1:5. The final recovery yield of the enzyme is over 90% using the process. The enzyme solution shows the optimum temperature of 4$0^{\circ}C$ and pH range of 5-8.

  • 막분리에 있어 막오염 현상은 공정의 경제성을 좌우하는 중요한 요소이다. 이에따라 막오염에 따른 플럭스 변화를 예측하기 위한 다양한 방법을 시도하고 있다. 그러나 대부분의 동력학적 해석식들은 여과초기에만 적용되는 단점이 있었다. 최근에는 콜로이드 입자에 의한 막오염 과정을 그대로 모사하여 여과개시 후 상당한 시간 후의 플럭스를 예측하려는 시도를 하고 있다. 그러나 지금까지 연구된 모델들은 2차원입자를 사용하거나 혹은 단일입자분포를 갖는 3차원입자를 사용한 것들이었다. 2차원 모사인 경우 세공막힘현상을 설명할 수 없으며 3차원 단일분포 입자시스템은 현실과는 거리가 먼 단점이 있었다. 이에따라 본 연구에서는 다중분포(multi-disperse)를 갖는 입자의 정밀여과 (microfiltration)를 모사하여 시간에 따른 플럭스의 변화를 예측해 보고자 하였다.

  • Current available commercial membranes are not robust and are therefore destroyed if left to dry out or handled roughly. Woven fibre microfiltration (WFMF) membranes have advantages over its competitors with respect to durability, thus, favourable for the developing economies and operation during rough conditions. Evaluation of the effects of aeration and brushing as a flux enhancement strategies for WFMF membrane was the purpose of this study. The WFMF membrane was found to be susceptible to pore plugging by colloidal material and adsorption/attachment by microbiological contaminants. This led to a 50% loss in flux. Aeration as a single flux enhancement strategy proved insufficient to maintain high flux successfully. Therefore combined flux enhancement strategies yielded the best results.
