In this study, polysulfone was carboxylated(CPSf), as a method of introducing carboxyl group to polymer main chain using direct lithiation reaction. Then, poly(1-alkyl-4-vinylpyridinium iodide-co-divinylbenzene) (MeVpI-DVB) containing pyridinium cation which has an anion selectivity as a fixed carrier was synthesized. And polymer membranes were prepared by mixing CPSf and MeVpI-DVB. Characteristics and permeation of membranes were investigated. As a result of synthesizing CPSf/MeVpI-DVB, blend was formed, not new copolymer. As the content of CPSf amount increasing, thermal stability of membranes was increasing. Ion exchange capacity was 1.0~1.8(meq/g dry mem.) and water content was 0.16~0.26(g $H_2{O}$)/g dry mem.) and fixed ion concentration was 6.4~7.3(meq/g $H_2{O}$) in synthetic membranes. The $Cl^-$ flux showed an increase due to the increase of CPSf content.

근래 환경 문제의 중요성이 크게 대두되면서 여러 제조 공정에서 방출되는 폐수등을 처리하는데 막분리 공정을 이용하려는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 이 공정에 필요한 내구성, 내 미생물성, 내 약품성등이 우수한 역삼투막 재료를 얻기 위한 방법의 하나로 엔지니어링 플라스틱을 친수화 시키는 방법이 개발되어 왔는데, 구체적으로는 설폰화등의 친수화가 된 폴리설폰(polysulfone), 폴리 에테르 에테르 케톤(poly ether ether ketone), 폴리 이미드(polyimide) 수지등이 검토되고 있다. 특히 PPO(poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide))로 만들어진 분리막은 내산화성이 우수하고 내구성이 뛰어나다고 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 PPO를 유기 금속 반응을 이용하여 carboxylation시키고 이 carboxylated PPO로 역삼투막을 제조하여 투과특성을 조사하였다.

Carboxylated polysulfone (CPS), poly (1,4-phenylene ether ethersulfone) (PPEES), membranes were prepared and used for the separation of NaCl and $CaCl_2$, in efficient way with less energy consumption. In this work, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis membranes were employed to the salt rejection behavior of the different salt solutions. The influence of applied pressure (1-12 bar), on the membrane performance was assessed. In CM series of membranes, $CM_1$ showed maximum of 97% water uptake and 36% water swelling, whereas, $CM_4$ showed 75% water uptake and 28% water swelling. In RCM series, $RCM_1$ showed 85% water uptake and 32% water swelling whereas, in $RCM_4$ it was 68% for water uptake and 20% for water swelling. Conclusively reverse osmosis membranes gave better rejection whereas nanofiltration membrane showed enhanced flux. CM1 showed 58% of rejection with 12 L/($m^2$ h) flux and $RCM_1$ showed 55% of rejection with 15 L/($m^2$ h) flux for 0.1 wt.% NaCl solution. Whereas, in 0.1 wt.% $CaCl_2$ solution, membrane $CM_1$ showed 78% of rejection with 12 L/($m^2$ h) flux and $RCM_1$ showed 63% rejection with flux of 9 L/($m^2$ h).
