본 연구는 축산분뇨 처리장(바이오가스 플랜트) 액비의 고도처리에 적합한 공정을 도출하기 위한 기초 연구이다. 액비를 고도처리하기 위하여 나노여과 및 역삼투(reverse osmosis) 공정을 각각 사용하였고, 전처리공정으로서 담체를 첨가하지 않은 MBR과 담체를 첨가한 MBR을 각각 적용하여 비교하였다. 액비의 질소는 주로 암모니아성 질소의 형태로 존재하였다. MBR의 운전에서 담체(biomedia) 유무에 따른 COD, T-N 및 T-P의 제거효율에서 큰 차이는 없었으나, 담체를 첨가한 MBR의 TMP는 담체를 첨가하지 않은 MBR에 비해 매우 서서히 증가하였다. 전처리 공정으로 담체를 첨가한 MBR 공정을 사용한 경우, NF에 의한 COD, T-N 및 T-P의 제거효율은 각각 99.8, 86.5% 및 99.8%이었으며, RO에 의한 제거효율은 각각 99.9, 86.8% 및 99.9%이었다. MBR과 NF/RO 공정을 이용하여 처리한 액비의 최종 수질은 분뇨처리장 방류수 수질기준과 비교하였을 때, COD와 T-P는 방류수 수질기준을 만족하였으나, T-N은 수질기준에 부적합하였다. 따라서 T-N에 대한 방류수 기준을 만족시키기 위해서는 MBR 조업 cycle의 조정 또는 나노여과/역삼투에 의한 2차 재처리 등의 개선이 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

The impacts of membrane degradation due to chlorine attack on the rejection of inorganic salts and trace organic contaminants by nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) membranes were investigated in this study. The rejection of trace contaminants was examined at environmentally relevant concentrations. Changes in the membrane surface morphology were observed as a result of chlorine exposure. A small increase in rejection was consistently observed with all four membranes selected in this study after being exposed to a low concentration of hypochlorite (100 ppm). In contrast, a higher concentration of hypochlorite (i.e., 2000 ppm) could be detrimental to the membrane separation capacity. Membranes with severe chlorine impact showed a considerable decrease in rejection over filtration time, possibly due to rearrangement of the polyamide chains under the influence of chlorine degradation and filtration pressure. The reported results indicate that loose NF membranes are more sensitive to chlorine exposure than RO membranes. The impact of hypochlorite exposure (both positive and negative) on rejection is dependent on the strength of the hypochlorite solution and is more significant for the neutral carbamazepine compound than the negatively charged sulfamethoxazole.

The main purpose of this work is to investigate the performance of membranes for treatment of dyeing wastewater. The microfiltration (MF) membranes (titania-blended polysulfone & alumina) were prepared. The nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) membranes were kindly supplied by the Sae-Han. In order to reuse the wastewater for dyeing, the effluents were treated by the high flux RO and the fouling resistant RO (FRM) membranes. Also, the NF membrane was used for water reuse in rinsing.

This study was evaluated the applicability of the membrane filtration process (Micro Filtration (MF), nanofiltration membranes (NF), reverse osmosis (RO)) on the major radioactive substances, iodine ($I^-$) and cesium ($Cs^+$) using membranes produced in Korea and domestic raw water. Iodine ($I^-$) or cesium ($Cs^+$) in the microfiltration membrane (MF) process could not be expected removal efficiency by eliminating marginally at the combined state with colloidal and turbidity material. At the domestic raw water (lake water, turbidity 1.2 NTU, DOC 1.3 mg/L) conditions, nanofiltration membrane (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) showed a high removal rate of about 88 ~ 99% for iodine ($I^-$) and cesium ($Cs^+$) and likely to be an alternative process for the removal of radioactive material.

In this work, the effect of hybrid salts precipitation-nanofiltration (SP-NF) process on the scale deposits in thermal and membrane desalination processes has been studied. The analysis was carried out to study the scale formation from the Arabian Gulf seawater in MSF and RO reference processes by changing the percentage of pretreatment from 0 to 100%. Four different SP-NF configurations were suggested. A targeted Top Brine Temperature (TBT) of $130^{\circ}C$ may be achieved if 30% portion is pretreated by SP and/or NF processes. As a rule of thumb, each 1% pretreatment portion increases the reference TBT of $115^{\circ}C$ by $0.6^{\circ}C$. For both MSF and RO, parallel pretreatment of certain percentage of the feed by SP and the rest by NF, showed the lowest scale values. The case showed the best values for sulfate scale prevention and the highest values of increasing the monovalent ions relative to the divalent scale forming ions. Sulfate scale is significant in MSF process while carbonate scale is significant in RO. Salt precipitation was suggested because it is less costly than nanofiltration, but nanofiltration was used here because it is efficient in sulfate ions removal.

본 연구는 인쇄회로기판(PCB) 제조 시 에칭공정에서 발생되는 구리이온($Cu^{+2}$)을 고농도로 함유한 황산 폐에칭액을 NF 막분리법을 사용하여 에칭액 회수와 구리이온 처리를 효율적으로 수행하기 위한 NF 막여과 공정의 운전조건을 설정하기 위한 기본 자료를 확보하는데 있다. 이를 위해 미국 Koch사의 SelRO MPS-34 4040 NF 막을 대상으로 구리이온을 고농도(5~30 g/L)로 함유한 모의 황산 폐에칭액의 cross-flow 나노여과 실험을 수행하여 투과 플럭스와 구리이온의 총괄 배제도를 측정하였다. 이 결과 투과 플럭스는 황산 폐에칭액 내 구리이온의 농도가 증가할수록, 황산 폐에칭액의 pH가 낮을수록 작아졌으며, 그 값은 최소 $4.5L/m^2{\cdot}h$에서 최대 $23L/m^2{\cdot}h$이었다. 황산 폐에칭액 내 구리이온의 총 배제도는 구리이온의 농도가 클수록, 용액의 pH가 낮을수록 그리고 폐에칭액의 순환유량이 작을수록 낮아졌으며, 황산 폐에칭액의 pH가 1 이상인 상태에서 70% 이상의 구리이온 배제가 가능하였다. NF 막을 12개월 동안 황산용액 내에 보관하여도 투과 플러스 와 구리이온 배제도의 유의한 변화가 없어 SelRO MPS-34 막모듈을 강산 조건에서 1년이상 막모듈의 교체 없이 산성 폐에칭액 처리에의 사용이 가능하였다.

In recent years, NF (nanofiltration) membrane has been receiving great attention for hardness removal and has begun to replace traditional lime soda ash softening process, particularly in Florida, USA, mainly due to less sludge production and easy operation. This study aimed to provide detailed surface characteristics of various commercial NF membranes by performing sophisticated surface analysis, which would help more fundamentally understand the performance of NF membranes. More specifically, a total of 7 NF membranes from top NF/RO manufacturers in the world were examined for basic performance tests, surface analysis, and fouling potential assessment. The results demonstrated that NF membranes are classified into two groups in terms of surface zeta potential; they are highly negatively charged ones, and neutral and/or less negatively charged ones. Their hydrophobicities, measured by contact angle, varied from hydrophilic to slightly hydrophobic ones. The AFM measurements showed various surface roughness, ranging from 23 nm (smooth) to 162 nm (rough) of average peak height. Lab-scale fouling experiments were performed using feedwater obtained from conventional water treatment plants in the province of Korea, and their results attempted to correlate to surface characteristics of NF membranes. However, unlike typical RO membranes, no clear correlation was found in this study, indicating that fouling mechanisms of NF membrane may be different from those of typical RO membranes, and both cake deposition and pore blocking mechanisms should be considered simultaneously.

Membrane fouling is a major challenge limiting the use of membrane applications. In this study high induced shear rates were utilized at the membrane surface in order to reduce the organic and inorganic scaling by using the torsional vibration of flat sheet membranes. The performances of a vibratory shear-enhanced processing (VSEP) system for the ultrafiltration (UF), nanofiltration (NF) and reverse osmosis (RO) membrane filtration of industrial dairy wastewater were investigated. The vibration and non-vibration methods were compared with the same membrane and operational parameters during the purification of real dairy industrial process wastewater. In the initial experiments, short-term tests were carried out in which the effects of vibration amplitude, recirculation flow rate and transmembrane pressure were measured and compared. The permeate flux, turbidity, conductivity and chemical oxygen demand (COD) reduction of dairy wastewater were investigated by using UF, NF and RO membranes with vibration and non-vibration methods. In the subsequent experiments, concentration tests were also carried out. Finally, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that the vibration method gave a better performance, which can be attributed to the higher membrane shear rate, which reduces the concentration of solids at the membrane, and the transmission.
