Perovskite type ceramic membranes which exhibit dual ion conduction (proton and oxygen ion conduction) can permeate water and can aid solving operational problems such as temperature gradient and carbon deposition associated with a working solid oxide fuel cell. From this point of view, it is crucial to reveal water transport mechanism and especially the nature of the surface sites that is necessary for water incorporation and evolution. $BaCe_{0.8}Y_{0.2}O_{3-{\alpha}}$ (BCY20) was used as a model proton and oxygen ion conducting membrane in this work. Four different catalytically modified membrane configurations were used for the investigations and water flux was measured as a function of temperature. In addition, CO was introduced to the permeate side in order to test the stability of membrane against water and $CO/CO_2$ and post operation analysis of used membranes were carried out. The results revealed that water incorporation occurs on any exposed electrolyte surface. However, the magnitude of water permeation changes depending on which membrane surface is catalytically modified. The platinum increases the water flux on the feed side whilst it decreases the flux on the permeate side. Water flux measurements suggest that platinum can block water permeation on the permeate side by reducing the access to the lattice oxygen in the surface layer.

최근 에너지 효율이 높은 분리 공정기술의 수요가 증가하면서 분리막을 이용한 기체 분리가 큰 관심을 모으고 있다. 현재 분리막에 의한 기체 분리 시장은 고분자막이 독점하고 있으며, 고분자 재료 물성의 한계로 탄화수소와 같은 응축 기체분리 보다는 비응축 기체 분리에 제한되고 있다. MOF 재료는 금속 이온과 유기 리간드가 결합하여 형성하는 결정성 나노 기공 구조로, 높은 비표면적과 기공 구조 제어, 기능성 부여가 가능해 분리막 재료로 큰 관심을 끌고 있다. 본 총설에서는 다양한 MOF 분리막의 합성 방법과 MOF 분리막을 통한 기체 분리 응용에 대해 살펴보고자 한다.

본 연구에서는 poly(phenylene oxide) (PPO)의 막 표면에 100 ppm의 농도를 갖는 불소가스를 접촉시켜 표면불소화하였다. 표면 개질된 막의 특성을 알아보기 위하여 표면접촉각, XPS, 기체투과 실험을 수행하였다. 표면특성 분석 결과 불소처리 시간이 증가함에 따라 막 표면에 $-CF_2$, $-CF_3$의 perfluoro group의 결합으로 인해 막의 소수성이 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 기체투과 측정으로부터 불소화시간이 증가함에 따라 기체에 대한 투과도는 감소하였으며, 불소노출이 60분 경과한 막의 경우 질소 33%, 산소 23%, 이산화탄소 3%의 감소율을 나타내었다. 선택도의 경우 질소 대비 산소의 경우 3.92로부터 4.47로, 이산화탄소에 대한 질소의 경우 18.09에서 25.4로 증가함을 얻었다.

The research efforts directed at advancing water electrolysis technology continue to intensify together with the increasing interest in hydrogen as an alternative source of energy to fossil fuels. Among the various water electrolysis systems reported to date, systems employing a solid polymer electrolyte membrane are known to display both improved safety and efficiency as a result of enhanced separation of products: hydrogen and oxygen. Conducting water electrolysis in an alkaline medium lowers the system cost by allowing non-platinum group metals to be used as catalysts for the complex multi-electron transfer reactions involved in water electrolysis, namely the hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions (HER and OER, respectively). We briefly review the anion exchange membranes (AEMs) and electrocatalysts developed and applied thus far in alkaline AEM water electrolysis (AEMWE) devices. Testing the developed components in AEMWE cells is a key step in maximizing the device performance since cell performance depends strongly on the structure of the electrodes containing the HER and OER catalysts and the polymer membrane under specific cell operating conditions. In this review, we discuss the properties of reported AEMs that have been used to fabricate membrane-electrode assemblies for AEMWE cells, including membranes based on polysulfone, poly(2,6-dimethyl-p-phylene) oxide, polybenzimidazole, and inorganic composite materials. The activities and stabilities of tertiary metal oxides, metal carbon composites, and ultra-low Pt-loading electrodes toward OER and HER in AEMWE cells are also described.

The aim of this study was to provide a basis for studying the molecular mechanism of pharmacological action of chlorhexidine digluconate. Fluorescence polarization of n-(9-anthroyloxy)stearic acid was used to examine the effect of chlorhexidine digluconate on differential rotational mobility of different positions of the number of membrane bilayer phospholipid carbon atoms. The six membrane components differed with respect to 2, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 16-(9-anthroyloxy)stearic acid (2-AS, 3-AS, 6-AS, 9-AS, 12-AS and 16-AP) probes, indicating different membrane fluidity. Chlorhexidine digluconate increased the rate of rotational mobility of hydrocarbon interior of the cultured Porphyromonas gingivalis outer membranes (OPG) in a dose-dependent manner, but decreased the mobility of surface region (membrane interface) of the OPG. Disordering or ordering effects of chlorhexidine digluconate on membrane lipids may be responsible for some, but not all of its bacteriostatic and bactericidal actions.

To elucidate the molecular mechanism of pharmacological action of local anesthetics, we studied membrane actions of tetracaine, bupivacaine, lidocaine, prilocaine and procaine. Fluorescence polarization of n-(9-anthroyloxy)stearic acid (n-AS) was used to examine the effects of these local anesthetics on differential rotational mobility of different positions of the number of synaptosomal plasma membrane vesicle (SPMV) phospholipid carbon atoms. The four membrane components differed with respect to 3, 6, 9 and 16-(9-anthroyloxy)stearic acid (3-AS, 6-AS, 9-AS and 16-AP) probes, indicating that differences in the membrane fluidity might be present. Degrees of the rotational mobility of 3-AS, 6-AS, 9-AS and 16-AP were different depending on depth of hydrocarbon interior. In a dose-dependentmanner, tetracaine, bupivacaine, lidocaine, prilocaine and procaine decreased anisotropy of 3-AS, 6-AS, 9-AS and 16-AP in the hydrocarbon interior of the SPMV. These results indicate that local anesthetics have significant disordering effects on hydrocarbon interior of the SPMV, thus affecting the transport of $Na^+$ and $K^+$ in nerve membranes and leading to anesthetic action.

막결합 축전식 탈염에 적용하기 위하여 불균질 이온교환막을 제조하였다. 이온교환수지 분말과 LLDPE (linear low density polyethylene) 혼합물을 압착시켜 불균질 이온교환막을 제조하였다. 제조한 막의 막 특성 분석과 MCDI 탈염실험을 실시하였다. 이온교환수지의 함량이 증가할수록 막의 전기저항은 감소하였고 함수율은 증가하였다. 그러나 막의 이온선택성을 나타내는 이온 수송수는 상업용 균질 막과 유사한 성능을 나타냈다. MCDI 탈염실험 결과 탈염량은 불균질 막의 높은 전기저항으로 인해 균질 막을 이용한 셀의 탈염량의 90% 수준을 나타냈다. 불균질 이온교환막은 균질 막에 비해 탈염성능은 다소 감소하였지만 제조가 간편하고 가격이 저렴하여 MCDI에 적용이 가능할 것으로 판단되었다.

Porous $Al_2O_3$ hollow fiber membranes were successfully prepared by dry-wet spinning/sintering method. The SEM image shows that the $Al_2O_3$ hollow fiber membrane consists mostly of sponge pore structure. The contact angle and the breakthrough pressure were $126^{\circ}$ and 1.91 bar, respectively. This results indicate that the $Al_2O_3$ hollow fiber membranes were successfully modified to hydrophobic surface. The hydrophobic modified $Al_2O_3$ hollow fiber membranes were assembled into a membrane contactor system to separate $CO_2$ from a model gas mixture of the flue gas at elevated gas velocity. The $CO_2$ absorption flux was enhanced when the gas velocity increased from $1{\times}10^{-3}$ to $6{\times}10^{-3}$ m/s. Whereas the $CO_2$ absorption flux was decreased with the number of hollow fiber membrane of a module because of the concentration polarization. Furthermore, we developed an lab-scale $Al_2O_3$ hollow fiber membrane contactor modules and their system (i.e., $CO_2$ absorption using the $Al_2O_3$ membrane and monoethanolamine (MEA)) that could dispose of over $0.02Nm^3/h$ mixture gas (15% $CO_2$) with the removal efficiency higher than 95%. The results can be useful in a field of the membrane contactor for $CO_2$ separation, helping to design and extend a equipment.

High-pressure membrane system like nanofiltration(NF) and reverse osmosis(RO) was investigated as a part of water treatment processes to produce high quality potable water with low organic matter concentration through membrane module tests and design simulation. River water and sand filtration permeate in Busan D water treatment plant were selected as feed water, and NE4040-90 and RE4040-Fen(Toray Chemical Korea) were used as NF and RO membranes, respectively. Total organic carbon(TOC) concentrations of NF and RO permeates were mostly below 0.5 mg/l and the average TOC removal rates of NF and RO membranes were 93.99% and 94.28%, respectively, which means NF used in this study is competitive with RO in terms of organic matter removal ability. Different from ions rejection tendency, the TOC removal rate increases at higher recovery rates, which is because the portion of higher molecular weight materials in the concentrated raw water with increasing recovery rate increases. Discharge of NF/RO concentrates to rivers may not be acceptable because the increased TDS concentration of the concentrates can harm the river eco-system. Thus, the idea of using NF/RO concentrate as the raw water for industrial water production was introduced. The design simulation results with feed water and membranes used in this work reveal that the raw water guideline can be satisfied if the recovery rate of NF/RO system is designed below 80%.

생체 내 변화에서 효소는 중요한 촉매이다. 효소의 안정성과 재사용성은 촉매 과정에서 중요한 요소이다. 적합한 기질에 효소 고정화는 특정 미세환경의 조성을 통해 효소 활동성을 높인다. 다양한 종류의 분리막이 각각의 생체적합성과 막 표면의 친수성/소수성 조절 용이도에 따라 기질로 사용되었다. 본 논문에서는 셀룰로스, 폴리아크릴로니트릴(PAN), 폴리디메틸실록산(PDMS), 폴리비닐리덴플루오라이드(PVDF), 폴리에테르설폰(PES) 고분자 분리막이 소개되고 토의되었다. 고정화 효소를 이용한 유기오염물의 생물적 분해는 제약 회사 및 섬유 회사 등에서 발생하는 오염물질을 친환경적으로 감소할 수 있는 방법이다. 효소 고정화 생물반응기(EMBR)로 기름의 가수분해를 제어할 수 있고 이를 통해 탄소 배출량 감소 및 환경오염을 줄일 수 있다. EMBR로 만들 수 있는 바이오에탄올과 바이오디젤은 화석 연료의 대체제이다.
