본 연구에서는 역삼투막공정을 이용하여 수용액 중 저준위 방사성이온인 세슘과 요오드 이온을 제거하는 실험을 수행하였다. 국내에서 생산되는 역삼투막모듈 두 가지와 그리고 폐모듈 세정한 후 세슘과 요오드 이온에 대한 제거성능을 비교하였다. 공급수의 농도와 압력을 달리하여 실험을 진행한 결과, 세 가지 모듈 모두 세슘에 비해 요오드의 제염계수가 높은 것을 알 수 있었으며, 특히, 세정한 모듈은 요오드에 대한 제염계수가 1140으로 확인되었다. 대체적으로 실험조건이 고압일 때보다 저압일 때 제염성능이 좋은 것으로 나타났으며 이는 저압조건에 가까운 압력을 갖는 수도수에 직접 모듈을 설치할 경우에도 사용이 가능하리라 판단되었다. 또한 EDTA와 SBS, NaOH, 마이크로버블 등을 사용하여 세정한 막의 제염성능이 세정 전의 제염성능보다 높아졌으며 저압, 저농도 조건에서 요오드에 대한 회수율이 세정 후에 6.3% 증가한 결과를 얻었다.

In this study, a MWCNT(multi-wall carbon nanotube) was added to polysulfone(PSf) support layer to improve flux of TFC(thin film composite) RO(reverse osmosis) membrane. Two different kinds of MWCNT were used. Surfaces of some MWCNTs were modified hydrophilically through acid treatment, while those of other MWCNTs were modified through heat treatment to maintain their hydrophobicity. MWCNT/PSf support layer was prepared by adding PSf to the NMP mixed solvent containing 0.1 wt% MWCNTs using a phase inversion method. The surface porosity of the MWCNT/PSf support increased by 42~46% while its surface pore size being maintained. The TFC RO membrane made of MWCNT/PSf support layer showed a 20% flux increase while its salt rejection characteristics is sustained. In addition, the MWCNT/PSf support layer has better mechanical stability than the PSf support layer, there resulting in an increased resistance of flux reduction due to physical pressure.

This study investigated the applicability of a two step microfiltration(MF) and reverse osmosis(RO) membrane system for reuse of tunnel wastewater. In this two step process, the MF system first treated only micropollutants in tunnel wastewater such as suspended solids(SS) and heavy metals, achieving less than 0.2 NTU turbidity, less than 1.1 mg/L chemical oxygen demand($COD_{Mn}$) and less than 0.8 mg/L total manganese(Mn). The RO system then removed over 95 % of the remaining pollutnats and particles, resulting in less than 0.02 NTU turbidity, less than 0.5 mg/L chemical oxygen demand($COD_{Mn}$), less than 0.04 mg/L total nitrogen(T-N) and less than 0.01 mg/L total phosphorus(T-P). In particular, addition of an RO system could lead to markedly reduced high salt concentrations in tunnel wastewater, approaching almost zero. Thus, reclaimed water using the combined membrane system could satisfy current South Korean regulations concerning wastewater reuse(turbidity ${\leq}2.0$ NTU; T-N ${\leq}10mg/L$; T-P ${\leq}0.5mg/L$; Salinity ${\leq}250mg{\cdot}Cl/L$).

Silt Density Index (SDI) has been used as a fouling index for reverse osmosis (RO) processes for decades. In order to decrease RO fouling, feed water should meet SDI standard, which was used to select a proper pretreatment system for RO processes. However, SDI is supposed to be sensitive only to particles larger than 0.45 ${\mu}m$ in terms of diameters while nanoparticles and dissolved organic matter can be potent foulants for RO processes. Our study started from the suspected performance of SDI as a RO fouling index. SDI data from pilot plants located world wide including South Korea were collected and analyzed. Suspended partcle concentration (i.e., turbidity and particle counts), and dissolved organic matter concentration (i.e., dissolved orgnaic carbon (DOC) concentration) data were also collected and compared to SDI values of same water samples. We found that SDI values were not only affected by suspended particle concentration but also by dissolved organic matter concentration. Therefore SDI can be used as a reasonable fouling index for RO feed water because the main foulants for RO processes are suspended particle and dissolved organic matter.

아크릴 폐수를 응집-여과-중화의 전처리 공정에 적용하여 막오염 인자를 최소화 한 후 UF/RO 공정에 적용하였다. 막의 형태 및 종류에 따라 한외여과 및 역삼투 모듈을 조합을 이루어 전처리 수를 온도 및 압력변화에 따라 적용하여 분리 특성을 고찰하였다. 투과 플럭스는 모듈 set 1의 UF모듈보다 모듈 set 4의 UF모듈의 투과량이 약 $2{\sim}3$배 더 많이 배출됨을 확인하였다. 최종적인 투과량은 관형모듈과 조합을 이룬 모듈 set 2와 모듈 set 3이 좋은 결과를 나타내었다. 모든 UF 모듈에서 TDS, T-N 및 COD의 제거 효율은 온도 및 압력변화에 영향을 받지 않고 제거 효율 또한 낮음을 알 수 있었다. RO모듈에서 TDS, T-N 및 COD가 우수한 제거 효율을 보였다. 아크릴 폐수의 최종적인 수질결과는 공장폐수의 배출 허용기준을 만족하였고, 막모듈 조합은 폐수의 재활용 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

역삼투막 운영에 있어서 유기물 오염에 대한 문제들을 해결하기 위해 많은 연구를 하고 있다. 현재 가성소다(NaOH)를 사용하여 유기물 오염 제거를 하고 있다. 본 연구는 지속적인 막오염 증가 문제를 해결하기 위한 물리/화학적 세정 기법으로서 기존에 사용하던 가성소다와 Micro-bubble를 이용하여 유기물 오염 제거 실험을 수행되었다. 멤브레인 강제 오염을 위해 Humic acid sodium, Bovine serum albumin, Sodium alginate 약품을 사용하여 유기물 오염을 시켰다. 유기물 오염에 따른 Flux를 관찰하였고, 가성소다와 Micro-bubble를 이용한 유기물 오염 제거 실험은 가성소다로만 사용했을 때보다 향상된 것을 관찰했다.

Recently, due to the primary emphasis of environmental problem, the proper selection of the membrane systems necessary for waste water treatment has been one of the critical issues in the industrial sector. This paper shows how an Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) model can be used for assessing the performance of selected membrane systems: ultrafiltration, microfiltration, reverse osmosis, and electrodialysis essential for waste water treatments. The final results show that ultrafiltration is the most attractive membrane system to use in a water recycling system, followed by microfiltration, reverse osmosis and electrodialysis. This is consistent with the information that we found with respect to the elements that were taken into consideration. Sensitivity analysis is also provided here.

Reuse of wastewater become an important consideration to solve the environmental pollution problems in recent industriallzation and urbanization. Especially, he characteristic of dyeing process is subject to use much water and thus has serious problems for removal of color and organic pollutants in their wastewater. This report is divided into two main parts ： The purpose of the first part was to determine if alkaline wastewater discharged from textile dyeing operation factory could be flocculated directly by Fenton oxidation method. This study was conducted to investigate Fenton reagent dose and reaction condition of Fenton method as pretreatment for dyeing wastewater in K dyeing industry were investigated. In the second part of this research, to treat dyeing wastewater it was found that the most effective way is to use ultrafiltation and reverse osmosis at the conditions of the pH 7.0~8.0 and operating pressure of $2.5~35kg_f/cm^2$. This paper is mainly dealt with the application on reuse system of dyeing wastewater treatment using ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis membranes. The results showed that dyeing wastewater could be reused by chemical, filter and membrane sequential treatment process.

A research was performed for zero discharge system of waste water which is produced from energy recovery process of waste and biomass. Leachate and all kinds of waste water should be separated and integrated into three categories in addition to converting existing leachate treatment facility into waste water treatment facility as well as introducing a management system of reverse osmosis membrane facility and bioreactor landfill. Following these conditions to better water treatment process, it was likely to produce over 3,000 tons of low-grade recycling water and 2,000 tons of high-grade recycling water per day when zero discharge system of waste water is applied starting from 2016. Economical efficiency was also surveyed in total treatment fee. Present system costs 18,129 million won per year, and suggested zero discharge system would cost 15,789 million won per year.

본 연구는 매립지에서 발생되는 침출수를 배출허용기준 이내로 처리함은 물론 경제적인 처리 공정을 개발하기 위한 것이다. 이를 위해 현장 pilot test 이전에 최적 공정 선정과 장치 설계인자를 도출하기 위해 실험실에서 기초실험을 수행하였다. 본 연구에서 개발하고자하는 처리공정은 역삼투시스템을 이용하는 공정인데 전처리로서 침지형분리막 생물반응기를 이용하였으며, 역삼투시스템에서 발생되는 농축수는 매립가스를 열원으로 하는 직화식 증발기를 이용하여 처리하는 공정이다. 실험결과 침지형분리막 생물반응기에서 SS, $BOD_5$, $COD_{cr}$, $NH_4{^+}-N$은 각각 99.0%, 43.0%, 12.9%, 48.5%, 18.7%의 제거효율을 보였다. 역삼투시스템온 $BOD_5$, $COD_{cr}$, $NH_4{^+}-N$, T-N을 각각 97.5%, 97.6%, 79.7%, 85.4% 제거할 수 있었다. 증발기는 $COD_{cr}$, $NH_4{^+}-N$, T-N을 각각 90.5%, 50.6%, 63.3% 제거할 수 있었으나 배출허용기준 이내로 처리하기는 어려운 것으로 나타나 응축수는 역삼투시스템 전단으로 보내서 전처리수와 함께 처리되어야할 것으로 나타났다.
