This study examined the effects of feed water chemistry and membrane fouling on the rejection of trace organics by a loose nanofiltration membrane. One ionisable and one non-ionisable trace organics were selected for investigation. Results reported here indicate that the solution pH and ionic strength can markedly influence the removal of the ionisable trace organic compound sulfamethoxazole. These observations were explained by electrostatic interactions between the solutes and the membrane surface and by the speciation of the ionisable compound. On the other hand, no appreciable effects of solution pH and ionic strength on the rejection of the neutral compound carbamazepine were observed in this study. In addition, membrane fouling has also been shown to exert some considerable impact on the rejection of trace organics. However, the underlying mechanisms remain somewhat unclear and are subject to on-going investigation.

The study contributes in the treatment of waste generated by the textile complex cotton of Draa Ben Khedda, Algeria. The azo dye "Direct Red Solophenyle 4GE" represents the base particle of the discharges and electrocoagulation with nanofiltration are used as a means of treatment. The solar photovoltaic is suitable for electrochemical process to reduce the energy cost. Several study parameters are considered in this work. The electrocoagulation batch gives the best reduction 37% for a dye concentration of 7.21 mg/L ($[NaCl]_{added}$=1g/L; $j=25.2mA/cm^2$). Coupling methods (electrocoagulation-nonofiltration) gives a complete discoloration rejecting concentration 52.4 mg/L (pHi = 7.6, $[NaCl]_{added}$=3g/L, $j=2.13mA/cm^2$). The result shows the coupling efficiency with a reduced amount of resulting slurry at the end of treatment.

The performance of a nanofiltration membrane for treatment of a low-level radioactive liquid waste was investigated through static and dynamic tests. The liquid waste ("carbonated water") was obtained during conversion of $UF_6$ to $UO_2$. In the static tests membrane samples were immersed in the waste for 24, 48 or 72 h. The transport properties of the samples (hydraulic permeability, permeate flow, selectivity) were evaluated before and after immersion in the waste. In the dynamic tests the waste was permeated in a permeation flow front system under 0.5 MPa, to determine the selectivity of NF membranes to uranium. The surface layer of the membrane was characterized by zeta potential, field emission microscopy, atomic force spectroscopy and infrared spectroscopy. The static test showed that the pore size distribution of the selective layer was altered, but the membrane surface charge was not significantly changed. 99% of uranium was rejected after the dynamic tests.

The rejection of sodium chloride (NaCl) and calcium chloride (CaCl2) single salt solutions were carried out for commercial nanofiltration NFDK membrane. Results showed that the NFDK membrane had a negative surface charge and had a higher observed rejection of 93.65% for calcium (Ca2+) ion and 78.27% for sodium (Na+) ions. Prediction of rejection for aqueous solutions of both salts was made using Donnan Steric Pore Model based on Extended Nernst-Planck Equation in addition to concentration polarization film theory. A MATLAB program was developed to execute the model calculations. Absolute Average Relative Error (% AARE) was found below 5% for real rejection of the NFDK membrane. This research could be used successfully to assess the membrane characterization parameter using a proposed procedure which can reduce the number of experiments.

Managed aquifer recharge (MAR) systems are gaining interest as an alternative to conventional water resources. However, when the water recovered in MAR systems, dissolved iron and manganese species may easily oxidize and they cause well screen clogging or require abandonment of extraction wells. In this study, both oxic and anoxic conditions were analyzed to verify the feasibility of the membrane filtration performance under various solution chemistries. The fouling mechanisms of the metal ions under anoxic conditions were also investigated by employing synthetic wastewater. The fouled membranes were then further analyzed to verify the major causes of inorganic fouling through SEM and XPS. The newly suggested anoxic process refining existing membrane process is expected to provide more precious information about nanofiltration (NF) membrane fouling, especially for demonstrating the potential advantages to chemical-free drinking water production for indirect potable reuse.

Based on innovative membrane module concepts reverse osmosis and nanofiltration are going to become important instruments in environmental engineering. One example is the Disc-Tube-module and its application for the purification of landfill leachate. Currently over 45 different landfills are using this ROCHEM DT-module, in some cases combined with the high pressure reverse osmosis versions of this module, operating at up to 120 bar and 200 bar. This state of the art membrane technology and the DTF-module for nanofiltration, developed by ROCHEM on the basis of the DT-module and RO-systems for the purification of landfill leachate, make possible in hybrid processes permeate recovery rates of more than 97 % with concentration factors up to 40.

본 연구는 투명 폐 Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET)병을 재활용하여 지지체를 제조 후에 Polyetherimide (PEI)를 이용하여 친환경적인 유기용매나노여과막 (Organic Solvent Nanofiltration)에 이용하고자 하였다. 제조된 복합막은 먼저, PET 지지체는 전기방사를 통해 제조를 하였으며 이후 내용매성이 우수한 PEI를 이용하여 지지체 위에 캐스팅하였고 비용매 유도상분리(Non-solvent Induced Phase Separation, NIPS) 방법을 이용하여 유기용매나노여과막을 제조하였다. 먼저 막제조에 앞서 제조된 PET 지지체는 모폴로지 분석을 통해 섬유의 직경과 인장강도를 파악하였으며 유기용매나노여과막의 최적 지지체 조건을 확인하였다. 이후 제조된 PET/PEI 복합막은 PEI의 농도에 따른 유기용매나노여과막으로서의 성능을 파악하기 위하여 에탄올에 분자량 697 g/mol을 가지는 Congo red의 제거율을 확인하였으며 최종으로 Congo red의 제거율이 90%이상의 제거율을 가지는 최적의 PET/PEI 복합막을 확인하였다.

수계에서 검출되는 미량유해물질의 빈도와 종류가 다양해지고 있다. 따라서 정수처리시스템에서 고려되어야 할 부분으로 거론되고 있으며 제거공정과 처리효율에 대한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고도처리공정과 나노여과공정을 이용한 제거효율을 평가하였다. 나노여과공정의 경우 물질의 물리화학적 특성에 따라 제거율이 상이하게 나타났다. 물질의 분획분자량이 제거율이 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한, 원수의 pH보다 높은 pKa 값을 갖거나 Log Kow 값이 2 이하인 물질의 제거효율이 감소되었다. 고도처리공정 중 산화공정에서는 대상물질의 분자량이 클수록 그리고 소수성을 띌수록 산화반응에 의한 제거효율이 감소되었다. 흡착공정에서는 산화되지 않은 대부분의 물질이 제거되었으며 $H_2O_2$에 의하여 산화가 더 잘 진행될수록 흡착반응이 향상되었다.

본 연구는 섬유산업에서 많이 사용되고 있는 주요염료인 분산성, 반응성, 산성염료를 대상으로 일반적인 수질오염항목인 COD, T-N, TOC, color, SS, TDS, conductivity 등을 분석하여 각각의 염료용액의 성상을 비교 분석하였고, NF막을 투과시켰을 경우 투과 flux와 배제율이 염료용액 종류에 따라서 어떻게 다른 양상을 나타내는지를 연구하였다. 결과적으로, 염료종류별 화학적 성질 및 구조적인 차이에 의하여 염료용액의 용해도 및 유기물부하 등이 달라짐을 알 수 있었고, 특히, 분산성 염료와 반응성염료는 이들 화학적 성질의 차이가 매우 현격하게 달라서 투과 flux 감소현상과 유기물, color, 부유물 및 용존 고형물, 이온성 물질 등의 배제율이 다른 양상을 보임을 알 수 있었다. 반응성염료 용액은 분산성염료 용액에 비하여 투과 flux는 높지만, TDS의 배제율이 낮은 반면, 분산성염료 용액은 부유성 고형물 농도가 높아 투과 flux가 낮고, 유기물질의 배제율이 낮은 특성을 나타낸다.
