The concentration of fresh gel from Aloe vera L. by using ulfrafiltration (UF) process was investigated and analyzed. The two membranes (organic and ceramic) with different molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) and modules (flat sheet and tubular) was used. Under optimum operation conditions, ceramic (zirconium dioxide) tubular membrane with MWCO of 50 kDa resulted in higher flux, less fouling, more turbid, higher total solid, higher polysaccharide and less aloin content. Optimum operation conditions were transmembrane pressure of 1.0 bar, feed velocity of 240 L/hr and temperature of $23^{\circ}C$. Volume concentration factor of aloe gel was 3.13 at permeate flux of $51.1\;L/m^2{\cdot}hr$ after processing time of 1.66 hr. Aloin in fresh aloe gel by UF process was effectively removed as permeate and bioactive polysaccharide content was 2.1 times higher than that of fresh aloe gel. These results allowed a very good level of concentration degree and polysaccharide content. Thus, ultrafiltration process of this study was suitable for the concentration of fresh aloe gel though the aloe concentrate showed both the viscosity decrease and partially separation of liquid layer during storage at $4^{\circ}C$.

본 연구는 정밀여과용 관형 분리막 모듈 내에 자체 설계한 기체분사형 노즐을 장착하여 막오염 감소 효과에 따른 투과유속을 측정하였다. 원료 용액으로는 0.1 wt% yeast 입자를 사용하였으며 공기 주입에 따른 막오염 감소 효과를 확인하기 위하여 공기를 주입하지 않은 경우와 주입한 경우의 투과유속을 비교 분석하였다. 공기를 주입하지 않았을 경우 투과유속은 지속적으로 감소하였지만 공기를 주입할 경우 투과유속은 공기를 주입하지 않은 경우와 비교하여 30% 이상 향상됨을 확인하였다.

This study was accomplished to get the foundation design data of VMD(Vacuum Membrane Distillation) system for Solar Thermal VMD plant. VMD experiment was designed to evaluate thermal performance of VMD using PVDF(polyvinylidene fluoride) hollow fiber hydrophobic membranes. The total membrane surface area in a VMD module is $5.3m^2$. Experimental equipments to evaluate VMD system consists of various parts such as VMD module, heat exchanger, heater, storage tank, pump, flow meter, micro filter. The experimental conditions to evaluate VMD module were salt concentration, temperature, flow rate of feed sea water. Salt concentration of feed water were used by aqueous NaCl solutions of 25g/l, 35g/l and 45g/l concentration. As a result, increase in permeate flux of VMD module is due to the increasing feed water temperature and feed water flow rate. Also, decrease in permeate flux of VMD module is due to increasing salinity of feed water. VMD module required about 590 kWh/day of heating energy to produce $1m^3/day$ of fresh water.

글루탈알데히드와 황산을 이용하여 가교된 키토산 복합막을 제조하였다. 제조된 복합막은 글루탈알데히드와 황산용액을 이용하여 표면말을 선택적으로 가교하엿다. 제조된 키토산 막에서의 키토산과 아세트산간의 착체형성의 영향을 관찰하기 위하여 수산화나트륨으로 중화하여 성능을 비교하였다. 황산으로 표면을 가교한 경우 코팅된 활성층의 투과증발에 대한 영향을 관찰하였다. 글루탈알데히드로 가교된 키토산복합막은 지지체의 종류를 변화시키면서 투과증발성능을 비교하였다. 지지체의 순수투과성능이 증가할수록 투과유량은 비슷한 값들을 유지하였으며, 선택도는 증가하다가 다시 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 수산화나트륨으로 키토산을 중화시킨 경우에는 선택도는 감소하였고 투과유량은 유지되는 경향을 나타내었다. 황산을 이용하여 표면을 이온가교시킨 경우 키토산 복합막은 활성충우ㅏ 두께가 증가할수록 가교시간이 증가하여야 최적의 가교조건을 나타내었다.

In this study, thermal performance test of VMD module was performed, prior to the construction of the demonstration plant using the vacuum membrane distillation (VMD) module of the capacity of $400m^3/day$ and to the commercialization of the VMD module. For the thermal performance test, the experimental equipment of capacity of $2m^3/day$ was constructed. The permeate flux test and thermal performance test according to feed water conditions such as temperature and flow rate were conducted. The VMD module used in the study was manufactured by ECONITY Co., LTD with PVDF hollow fiber membrane. As a result, the Performance Ratio (PR) of the VMD module showed the maximum value of 0.904 under the condition of feed water temperature of $75^{\circ}C$ and flow rate of $8m^3/h$. PR value of the VMD module using PVDF hollow fiber membrane showed linearly increasing relationship with feed water temperature and flow rate. Also, The permeate flux of the VMD module was analyzed to have maximum value of 18.25 LMH and the salt rejection was 99.99%.

In the following study, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is used for prediction of permeate flux decline during oily wastewater treatment by hybrid powdered activated carbon-microfiltration (PAC-MF) process using mullite and mullite-alumina ceramic membranes. Permeate flux is predicted as a function of time and PAC concentration. To optimize the networks performance, different transfer functions and different initial weights and biases have been tested. Totally, more than 850,000 different networks are tested for both membranes. The results showed that 10:6 and 9:20 neural networks work best for mullite and mullite-alumina ceramic membranes in PAC-MF process, respectively. These networks provide low mean squared error and high linearity between target and predicted data (high $R^2$ value). Finally, the results present that ANN provide best results ($R^2$ value equal to 0.99999) for prediction of permeation flux decline during oily wastewater treatment in PAC-MF process by ceramic membranes.

Cell separation from peripheral blood was investigated using surface-modified polyurethane (PU) membranes with different functional groups. Both red blood cells and platelets could pass through unmodified PU and PU-SO$_3$H membranes, while the red blood cells preferentially passed through PU-N(C$_2$H$_{5}$ )$_2$ and PU-NHC$_2$H$_4$OH membranes. The permeation ratio of T and B cells was less than 25% for the surface-modified and unmodified PU membranes. CD34$^{+}$ cells have been recognized as various kinds of stem cells including hematopoietic and mesenchymal stem cells. The adhesiveness of CD34$^{+}$ cells on the PU membranes was found to be higher than that of red blood cells, platelets, T cells or B cells. Overall, the adhesiveness of blood cells on the PU membranes increased in the following order: red blood cells $\leq$ platelets ＜ T cells $\leq$ B cells ＜ CD34$^{+}$ cells. Treatment of PU-COOH membranes with a human albumin solution to detach adhered blood cells, allowed recovery of mainly CD34$^{+}$ cells in the permeate, while both red blood cells and platelets could be isolated in the permeate using unmodified PU membranes. The PU membranes showed different permeation and recovery ratios of specific cells depending on the functional groups attached to the membranes.mbranes.

본 연구는 폴리에틸렌 정밀여과 막을 이용한 $Al_2O_3$ 콜로이드 현탁액의 운전압력 순환변화에 따른 투과거동을 검토하였다. 운전압력의 순환은 0.49에서 1.96 bar까지 증가시키는 증압운전 후 다시 0.49 bar로 감소시키는 감압운전으로 행하였다. 연속적으로 운전압력을 순환변화 시킨 결과, 증압운전과 감압운전의 투과유속이 서로 다른 이력(hysteresis)을 나타냈다. 현탁액의 투과저항은 감압운전의 경우가 증압운전의 경우보다 컸으며, 투과저항 증가율도 컸다. 막오염 형태는 증압운전과 감압운전 모두 운전초기에 케익오염이 강하게 나타났으며, 막오염의 크기는 감압운전의 오염이 증압운전의 오염보다 컸다.

The efficiency of two metal ions (cadmium, zinc) removal from aqueous solutions by ultrafiltration (UF) and Polymer Enhanced Ultrafiltration (PEUF) processes were investigated in this work. The UF and PEUF studies were carried out using an ultrafiltration tangential cell system equipped with 5.000 MWCO regenerated cellulose. A water-soluble polymer: the polyacrylic acid (PAA) was used as complexant for PEUF experiments. The effects of transmembrane pressure, pH, metal ions and loading ratio on permeate fluxes and metal ions removals were evaluated. In UF process, permeate fluxes increase linearly with increasing pH for different transmembrane pressure, which may be the consequence of the formation of soluble metal hydroxyl complexes in the aqueous phase. In PEUF process, above pH 5.0, the Cd(II) retention reaches a plateau at 90% and Zn(II) at 80% for L = 5. Also, cadmium retention at different L is greater than zinc retention at pH varying from 5.0 to 9.0. In a mixture solution, cadmium retention is higher than zinc for different loading ratio, this is due to interactions between carboxylic groups of PAA and metal ions and more important with cadmium ions.
