The clarified apple juice was pre-concentrated by reverse osmosis system as a trial for reduction of heat treating time and quality drop in concentration of the juice. The permeate fluxes through CA 865 and CA 960 membranes were higher than those of HR 95 and HR 98 membranes even at the low operating pressure. In the concentration limit depended on the membranes used, HR membranes operated at 60 bar showed $29.0^{\circ}$Brix, and the time required to reach the limit was 86 min for HR 95 and 71 min for HR 98. In cases of CA membranes run at 30 bar, the juice concentration was linearly increased without the limit, and longer time to reach the same concentration was required in comparison with HR membranes. As the juice concentration was increased, the loss of soluble solids was increased, and the average contents of soluble solids in the permeate passed through HR 95, HR 98, CA 865 and CA 960 were 1.3, 0.5, 7.5 and $2.3^{\circ}$ Brix, respectively, in the juice concentration range of 20.0 -$25.0^{\circ}$ Brix. The lower amounts of sugars, total acid and flavor volatiles were involved in the permeate through HR membranes, especially HR 98 than in the permeate through CA membranes.

This study is to concentrate vanadium in Jeju groundwater using reverse osmosis processes, and to utilize the concentrate for vanadium water. Groundwater samples were taken from Wahyul, Ayum, and Seogwipo groundwater wells with different in vanadium content each other. Their vanadiuln concentrations were 31.8, 44.5, and 53.0 ppb, respectively. The rejection coefficients of every component in groundwater were increased with the increase of TMP At the TMP of $8 kg_f/cm^2$, the rejection coefficients of vanadium, sodium, potassium, aluminium, iron, and barium were $97.4%{\sim}99.0%,\;97.7%{\sim}97.8%,\;98.0%{\sim}98.3%,\;94.8%{\sim}97.5%,\;88.0%{\sim}96.4.0%$, and $97.9{\sim}98.0%$, respectively. And those of magnesium, calcium, chromium, mauganese, and strontium in three groundwater were more than 99.0% at the same TMP. It was possible that vanadium contents of Wahyul, Ayum and Seogwipo groundwater were concentrated into 58.6, 118.9, and 165.1 ppb, respectively, by 6 stages treatment at the recovery ratio of 15%. And these concentrated water (vanadium water) did not exceed the permissible drinking water standards.

Energy recovery device (ERD) is used to save energy consumption in seawater reverse osmosis processes. However, small-scale ERDs (<$100m^3/d$) are hardly observed in seawater desalination market. In South Korea, most of seawater desalination plants for drinking water production are small-scaled and have been operated in island areas or on ships. Thus, the effect of ERDs for these small-scale SWRO processes should not be neglected. In this work, the small-scale SWRO processes are designed and analyzed in terms of energy consumption with/without ERD. The realistic efficiencies of high pressure pumps are considered for the energy analyses. The unit cost of electricity depending on the application place (e.g., inland and island areas, on ships) is investigated to calculate the energy cost for unit water production in various SWRO applications classified by plant capacity, application place, and the installation of ERD. As a result, the energy cost can be saved up to $1,640.4KRW/m^3$ when ERD is applied, and the saving effect increases at smaller plants on ships. In conclusion, the development of small-scale ERDs are necessary because small-scale SWRO processes are dominant in Korean seawater desalination market, and the electricity saving effect becomes higher at smaller-scaled system.

This study is to evaluate the performance of draw solutions in the water reuse of sewage discharge water using fertilizer drawn forward osmosis. Feed water used in all experiments was the effluent from secondary sedimentation tank in activated sludge process. Considering osmotic pressure, solubility, and pH, $NH_4H_2PO_4$, KCl, $KNO_3$, $NH_4Cl$, $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$, $NH_4NO_3$, $NH_4HCO_3$, and $KHCO_3$ were screened from a comprehensive lists of fertilizer. Their performances were evaluated in terms of water permeate flux and reverse solute flux. KCl showed the highest average water flux followed by $NH_4Cl$, $NH_4NO_3$, $KNO_3$, $KHCO_3$, $NH_4HCO_3$, $NH_4H_2PO_4$, and $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$. Using KCl as draw solution, the average water permeate flux was 13.49 LMH. There was no big difference in osmotic pressure between the effluent from secondary sedimentation tank and deionized water. $NH_4H_2PO_4$ showed the lowest reverse solute flux followed by $NH_4Cl$, $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$, $KNO_3$, $NH_4HCO_3$, and $NH_4NO_3$. Using $NH_4H_2PO_4$ as draw solution, the reverse solute flux was $4.96{\times}10^{-3}mmol/m^2{\cdot}sec$.

In this study, in order to improve the performance of the reverse osmosis membrane with high water flux and high salt rejection, a study was conducted on the evaluation of characteristics according to the curing temperature and time during various additives and interfacial polymerization. The morphology of the membrane with no additives and the membrane with additives both showed a "rigid-and-valley" structure, confirming that the polyamide layer was successfully polymerized on the surface of the porous support layer. In addition, the additive of 2-Ethyl-1,3-hexanediol (EHD) had improved hydrophilicity and water flux, which was confirmed by measuring the contact angle. Finally, a highly permeable TFC membrane with NaCl and MgSO₄ salt rejection of 97.78% and 98.7% and a high water flux of 3.31 L/(m²⋅h⋅bar) was prepared.

The purpose of this paper was to preparation of organic solvent reverse osmosis (OSRO) membrane using a polyketone (PK) support. The PK support was prepared by non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) method, and a polyamide layer was interfacially polymerized on the PK support to fabricate OSRO membrane in the form of thin-film composite (TFC). After that, the surface and cross-sectional morphology of the OSRO membrane were analyzed, and the surface chemical structure of the membrane was analyzed. The water permeance and salt rejection of the OSRO membrane were about 1.28 LMH/bar and 99.0% respectively. The polyamide layer of the OSRO membrane was very stable during 1 day of organic solvent immersion, and the single organic solvent permeance trend was consistent with the organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) membrane permeance model. The MWCO of the OSRO membrane is 240 g/mol in MeOH. The permeance and separation factor of the OSRO membrane for MeOH-toluene mixture were 200% and 60% higher than those of the commercial OSN membranes respectively.

원수 중의 오염물의 양과 종류가 급격히 증가함에 따라 기존의 정수방법은 점차 그 한계를 노출하고 있다. 이러한 문제점의 대안으로 최근 막분리기술을 도입한 고도정수처리공정이 주목되고 있다. 역삼투(reverse osmosis)와 나노여과(nanofiltration)등의 분리막을 이용한 정수처리 공정에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되어 왔으나, 경제성이 보다 큰 한외여과(ultrafiltration, UF)와 부날활성탄(powdered activated carbon, PAC)의 결합 시스템의 도입이 연구되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 PAC-UF 시스템의 유입수에 배경물질(background organic matters, BOM)을 포함한 이성분계에서 미량유기물의 경쟁적 흡착 거동을 고찰하였다.

최근 들어 용수가격 상승과 갈수기 대비 대체용수 확보차원에서 폐수를 처리하여 공업용수를 재이용하는 사례가 증가하고 있다. 국내의 경우 단위 사업장에서 폐수재이용 시설을 설치한 사례는 비교적 많은 편이나, 정상적으로 가동하는 경우는 드문 것으로 조사되고 있다[1]. 이는 초기 시설 투자비를 줄이기 위하여 전처리를 소홀히 한 것이 가장 큰 원인으로 판단된다.(중략)
