This study was conducted for searching the optimal condition for making the composite membrane. For this purpose, supporting membrane and composite membrane was made under various condition and at each step were tested.

1. INTRODUCTION : The phase inversion method is widely used to prepare a variety of polymeric membranes ranging from micro-filtration to gas separation. The final morphology obtained by immersion precipitation strongly reflects the thermodynamics and kinetics of the system involved. The equilibrium thermodynamics of the ternary system of polymer/solvent/ nonsolvent is still very important to understand and predict membrane structure. Polysulfone (PSf) and polyethersulfone (PES) are important polymers as membrane materials due to the chemical resistance, mechanical strength, thermal stability and transport properies. There are several reports on the experimental phase diagrams in ternary mixtures of PSf/solvent/nonsolvent, and PES/solvent/nonsolvent. It would be interesting to investigate the solution thermodynamics containing these two polymers since PES is slightly less hyclrophobic than PSf.

수소는 여러 기체중에서 분자의 크기가 가장 작고, 막에 의한 분리가 쉬워 기체 막분리 공정 중에서 제일 먼저 개발 상업화 되었다. 기체분리막의 발전 역사를 살펴보면 1965년 Du Pont 사가 polyethyleneterephthalate(PET) 중공사 기체분리 장치를 만든 것이 최초이다. 그러나 이 장치는 시판되지 않았다. 1979년 Monsanto사가 다공성 polysulfone 중공사에 polyimethylsiloxane계 고분자를 박막형태로 도포한 복합막을 개발하여 이것을 이용한 공업적 규모의 수소분리장치(Prism separator) 를 개발하였는데 이 장치가 널리 퍼지게 되었다. 이 분리막은 현재 석유화학 및 석유정제공업 플랜트 폐가스로부터 수소회수, Oxo합성 기체중의 CO/H$_{2}$ 몰비 조절등의 분야에서 사용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 수소 분리 회수용 고분자기체막을 중심으로 분자설계, 공정현화 및 최근 연구동향 등을 살펴보고자 한다.

The nanofiltration (NF) membranes based on poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and sodium alginate (SA) were prespared. Homogeneous PVA/SA blend membranes were prepared by casting a PVA/SA (95/5 in wi%) mixture solution on an acryl plate followed by drying at a room temperature and by cros-slinking with glutaraldehyde (GA) for 20 minutes PVA/SA blend composite membranes were also prepared by coating a PVA/SA (95/5 in wi%) mixture solution on microporous polysulfone(PSF) supports. The PVA/SA active layer of the composite membrane was crosslinked at room temperature by using an membranes were characterized with a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) a fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and permeation tests. The permeation properties of the composite membrane were as follows: 1.3{{{{ {m }^{2 } }}}}/{{{{ {m }^{2 } }}}}day of flux and >95% of rejection at 200 psi for a 1000 ppm PEG600 solution.

A radial pleat module using a polysulfone membrane was developed. The permeation characteristics of the radial pleat module were compared with those of a flat plate module. The average module efficiency of the radial pleat module for the applied pressure range was 82% and was always greater than that of the spiral wound module. For the radial pleat module, in general, as the applied pressure increases, the flux increases and the rejection reduces. The concentration polarization causes the decrease of the flux for the long time operation. But it has been found that the radial pleat module is more efficient for the reduction of the concentration polarization because it has the more effective area per unit volume and can induce the turbulent flow in the module.

Nanofiltration of aqueous dye solutions was carried out using polyamide (PA) nanofiltration (NF) composite membranes. The PA composite membranes were prepared by the interfacial polymerization of piperazine (PIP) and trimesoyl chloride (TMC) on the surface of microporous polysulfone (PSf) ultrafi1tration (UF) membranes. After characterization in terms of their permeation performance and surface ionic property, they were used for the separation of dye solutions such as Direct Red 75, 80, 81, and Direct Yellow 8 and 27. The separation conditions were varied to study the factors affecting on the permeation performance of the membranes: different concentrations of dye solutions, operating temperature and time, and flow rate of a feed solution. The surface property of the membrane, especially its ionic property, as a function of operating time was examined with a zeta-potentiometer and the relationship between the surface chemistry of the membrane and its permeation properties was also studied.

한외여과막이 순수제조, 고분자물질의 분리, 폐수처리 등에 쓰이기 시작되면서, 높은 투과율, 내화학성, 충전밀도를 갖는 모듈이 요구되었다. 따라서 polysulfone(이하 PSf)을 막의 재질로 사용한 중공사형모듈이 주로 개발되었다. 그러나 본 연구에서는 PSf보다 투과율, 기계적 강도, 열적강도 및 화학적 성질 면에서 뛰어난 polythersulfone(이하 PES)을 막의 재질로 선택하였다. 또한, 지금까지는 수백 ${\AA}$에서 1mm정도의 외경(O.D.)을 갖는 중공사막이 개발되었다. 따라서 상당히 높은 충전밀도를 갖는 모듈은 개발되었으나, 점성이 높은 feed를 처리할 때, fouling이 큰 문제로 대두되었으며, 중공사막보다 외경이 큰 관형 막은 fouling에는 비교적 강하나, 충전밀도가 낮아서 단위부피당 flux가 낮은 단점을 갖고 있다. 따라서, 중공사막과 관형 막의 중간형태인 외경 2mm이상의 capillary membrane은 강한 fouling 저항과 비교적 높은 단위 부피당 투과율을 갖는다.

Separation of soluble oil was investigated during filtration of cutting oil emulsion using various commercial ultrafiltration membranes. The surface properties of membranes used were hydrophilic hydrophobic and modified surfaces by various surfactant pretreatments. Conditions varied include stirring speed transmeembrane pressure membrane type and surfactant type for pretreatment. The results give some indication of mechanisms occurring at the membrane surface. Surfactant pretreatments significantly improved water flux and UF flux of hydrophilic regenerated cellulose(up to 2.4x for YM100) and hydrophobic polysulfone (up to 2.2x for PTHK) membranes depending on surfactant type and operating conditions. The UF flux enhancement was attributed to membrane swelling and reduction of interfacial surface tension between oil droplets and membrane surface. unexpectedly the hydrophilic membranes revealed greater flux enhancement than the hydrophobic membranes. The results also showed a greater improvement in UF flux at lower operating pressure.

Milk was concentrated by commercial tubular membranes, The permeation rate reduction of hydrophilic membranes (sulfonated poly sulfone (SPSf), polyacrylonitrile (PAN), cellulose acetate (CA)) was found not to be large but hydrophobic membranes to be pronounced considerably, In the case of UF concentration total solids, proteins, fats and minerals were increased as concentrated but carbohydrates decreased. NF showed the same behavior except carbohydrates showing small reduction rate.

Protein affinity membrane was prepared via the coating of chitosan gel on the porous flat polysulfone membrane surface, followed by the immobilization f the reactive dye (Cibacron Blue 3GA) to the chitonsan gel. The maximum protein binding capacity of affinity membrane was about 70${\mu}g/cm^2$ determined by the batch adsorption experiments of human serum albumin (HSA). Using module of this membrane, the characteristics of protein chromatography were investigated through the experiments of elution and frontal chromatography of HSA. This membrane module promises as a chromatography column, since it represented a lower pressure drop and a greater reproducibility. The protein separation ratio was significantly influenced by the flow rate of mobile phase and the injection quantity of HSA. The dynamic protein binding capacity of module decreased from the equilibrium binding capacity with increasing flow rate and approached the value of 15 - 20 ${\mu}g/cm^2$ for flow rates above 6 mL/min.
