This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of PAC(Powder Activated Carbon) retention time on stable operation of high concentration powered activated carbon(HCPAC-MBR) in the treatment of secondary domestic wastewater. The pilot scale HCPAC-MBR system was operated at two different SRTs, 25 days and 100 days. The main drawback of HCPAC-MBR system was the rapid increase of trans-membrane pressure. The increase rate of trans-membrane pressure was proportional to SRT value at constant flux. This result seemed to be caused by reduced amount of EPS adsorbed on the PAC in the reactor by decreasing the SRT of the PAC. The particle size of the PAC was also influenced by SRT. The PAC size was decreased as SRT was increased. The change of particle size could be one reason for the change of trans-membrane pressure. The pore volume in the cake-layer formed on the membrane surface became to be increased by reducing SRT, because the cake-layer was highly composed of the PAC. Therefore, increased pore volume might play a role to reduce the trans-membrane pressure. The removal rate of E260 and TOC was also inversely proportional to SRT value.

Temperature correction trans-membrane pressure (TC-TMP) is frequently used as a fouling index in membrane water treatment plants. TC-TMP equation is derived based on an assumption that the total membrane resistance (i.e. the sum of the intrinsic membrane resistance and fouling resistance) is not affected by temperature. This work verified the validity of this assumption using microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) membranes with and without fouling. The foulants used in the work were kaolin (inorganic) and humic acid (organic). The intrinsic resistances of MF and UF membranes remains at constant values regardless of temperature change. When the same amount of foulants were accumulated on the membrane, inorganic fouling resistance with kaolin was constant regardless of temperature change while organic fouling resistance with humic acid decreased at higher temperatures, which means that TC-TMP cannot be used as a fouling index when organic fouling occurs in a real field application. Since TC-TMP underestimates the amount of fouling at higher temperatures, more attention should be necessary in the operation of membrane water treatment plant in a hotter season like summer.

본 연구에서는 기존의 중량법과 광산란법과는 원리와 기술이 다른 입도별 부유물질 측정용 분리막 모듈 및 장치를 개발하기 위한 원리를 수립하기 위한 기초 자료를 확립하고자 하였다. 이러한 목적을 위하여, 이산화규소 및 덱스트란(dextran), 카올린(kaolin), PEG (polyethylene glycol) 부유용액을 대상으로 유리섬유 여과지 GF/C와 GF/A를 분리막 모듈에 장착하여 여과시키면서, 디지털 압력계를 사용하여 막간압력차(TMP, Trans-membrane pressure) 변화를 측정하였다. 모사용액의 농도와 TMP 변화율 기울기의 상관관계식을 TMP 변화 실험 결과로부터 구하여, TMP 변화 기울기로부터 시료의 농도를 예측할 수 있도록 하였다.

본 연구에서는 공경 $0.1{\mu}m$, 막여과 유속$3.0m^3/m^2{\cdot}d$의 국산 세라믹 막을 이용하여 음용수를 생산하는 기술에 대해 조사하였다. 세라믹 막의 성능 평가를 위해 $1m^3/d$ 규모의 pilot-scale 실험장치를 제작하였으며, 역세주기에 따른 차압변화와 전오존이 차압변화에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 차압상승률은 역세주기에 비례하여 증가하였으나, 전오존 주입을 통해 차압상승률을 낮출 수 있었다. 이 결과는 전오존이 파울링 감소에 효과가 있음을 의미한다. 1 mg/L의 전오존을 주입하고 5 min간 접촉하였을 때, 역세주기 1시간에서 차압상승률은 약 30% 감소하였다. 전오존 접촉시간을 5~15 min으로 변경하면서 운전한 결과, 접촉시간에 따른 차압상승률에는 차이가 없었다. 그러나, 차압상승률은 오존 주입농도가 증가하면 감소하는 경향을 보였다.

A theoretical and experimental study made in order to determine the performance of mem-brane contactors in water carbonation is presented. In particular on the basis of experimental results pre-viously obtained it has been derived an expression in which the effect of some parameters as temprera-ture water and CO₂ flow rate CO₂ pressure trans-membrane pressure on the performance of the process is taken into account. The study refers to hollow fiber membrane contactors used for the experimental tests. The main scope has been to verify if by membrane contactors it is possible to reach the same de-gree of water carbonation as by trditional methods (1-5 g/1) and to derive for the module used a cor-relation able to describe the performance of the process at several operating conditions. The high CO₂ removal observed confirms the interesting potentialties of membrane contactors also in gas streams purification.

본 연구에서는 경도 이온의 화학적 침전을 위하여 지하수에 과량의 Lime-Soda ash를 주입하여 플럭(floc)을 형성한 다음 침전과정을 십자흐름(Crossflow) 방식의 관형 세라믹 분리막을 이용한 한외여과(UF) 공정으로 대체하였다. 그 결과 두유 포장팩 세척수로 사용하고 있는 지하수의 총경도를 10 mg/L as $CaCO_3$ 이하로 감소시킬 수 있었다. 한편, TMP(Trans-membrane pressure) 및 유량 변화 실험에서 투과선속(Permeate flux, J) 및 무차원한 투과선속($J/J_0$) 변화를 조사하여, TMP 및 유량이 무기물로 형성된 응집 플럭에 의한 막오염에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 그 결과, 본 실험 범위에서 TMP 및 유량 변화가 막오염과 총경도 제거율에 미치는 영향은 거의 없었다.

In this study, carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) was used as an inhibitor of scale production on the surface of RO membrane. In order to compare the effects of $CO_2$ injection on scale production, four RO modules: 1) without $CO_2$ injection and anti-scalant (RO module #1), 2) with only $CO_2$ injection (RO module #2), 3) with only anti-scalant (RO module #3), 4) with both $CO_2$ injection and anti-scalant (RO module #4), were operated for 60 days under constant flux mode. The trans-membrane pressure (TMP) was observed to decrease significantly in RO modules with $CO_2$ injection as compared with the other RO modules. When the feed water pH was controlled at 5.0 by injecting $CO_2$, the maximum TMP in RO modules #2 and #4 was founded to decrease by 42 and 40%, respectively. Moreover, the $Ca^{2+}$ concentration in the concentrate was 20mg/L lower in RO modules without $CO_2$ injection which is attributed to the scale formation on the surface of the RO membranes. The SEM-EDS analysis further showed a serious fouled RO membrane surface in RO modules #1 and #3.

This work addresses the development of microfiltration ceramic membrane from alumina using extrusion method. The membranes were sintered at different temperatures ranging between 1000 and 1300℃. The alumina was characterized with thermogravimetric analysis, particle size distribution, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer and scanning electron microscope analysis. Subsequently, the effect of sintering temperature on the membrane properties such as porosity, flexural strength, and pure water permeability was investigated and optimized for the sintering temperature. It is observed that with increasing sintering temperature, the porosity of the membranes decreases and the flexural strength, and pure water permeability of the membranes increase. The uncoated and coated membranes were compared at constant flux mode of filtration. Under the turbidity solution recirculation alone at 100 NTU, trans-membrane pressure (TMP) of uncoated membrane remained constant when the filtration flux was below 121 Lm^-2 h ^-1 , while the coated membrane was 111 Lm_-2 h ^-1 . Although suction pressure increased more rapidly at higher turbidity, coated membrane filtration showed better removal efficiency of the turbidity.

Fouling characteristics of humic substances on tight ultrafiltration (UF) membrane have been investigated. The tight UF membrane was prepared by blending polysulfone (PSf) in N.N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc) with 25%wt of Polyethylene glycol (PEG400) and 4%wt of acetone. Fouling characteristic of the modified PSf membrane was observed during peat water filtration in different trans-membrane pressure (TMP). It was found that the acetone modified membrane provided 13% increase in TMP during five hours of peat water filtration, where a stable flux was reached within 150 minutes. Meanwhile, the increase of TMP from 10 psig to 30 psig resulted in a fouling resistance enhancement of 60%. Furthermore, based on the fouling analysis, fouling mechanism at the first phase of filtration was attributed to intermediate blocking while the second phase was cake formation.
