Methyl methacrylate(MMA) was grafted onto microcrystalline cellulose(MCC) with ceric ammonium nitrate(CAN) as a redox initiator at the various conditions. The cellulose triacetate(CTA) composite films added MCC and MMA-grafted MCC powders were prepared on a glass plate. The graft yield(GY) and graft efficiency(GE) of the grafted MCC were calculated with the simple equations by the weight balance method. The double bond of C=O on the grafted MCC surfaces was confirmed by the fourier transform infrared spectroscopy with attenuated total reflection(FT-IT ATR) spectrophotometer. After grafting, the degree of crystallinity of cellulose powders was decresed by judging from x-ray diffraction(XRD) data. Scanning electron microscope(SEM) photos showed the only solvent and CAN solution could change the roughness of MCC powders and the effect of powder dispersions in composite matrix. The tensile strength of MCC/CTA composite films was decreased with increase of MCC powder contents. When 5% grafted MCC was added, the tensile strength of grafted MCC/CTA composite films was increased from 82.3 MPa to 97.2 MPa. The thermal property of powders was also analyzed by the thermogravimetric analysis(TGA).

The beta-galactosidase of Aspergillus niger CAD 1 described in previous report was immobilized to cellulose triacetate. The optimal conditions for immobilization of the enzyme were obtained when 13%(v/v) of the soluble enzyme (349 unit/ml) was entrapped in fiber prepared from 10%(w/v) cellulose triacetate in methylene chloride. The optimal temperature and pH for the activity of the immobilized enzyme were $45^{\circ}C$ and 4.5, respectively, which stowed the same values as those of the soluble enzyme. It was found that Km of the immobilized enzyme for lacotse exhibited high value compared with that of the soluble enzyme. The immobilized enzyme showed good storage stability, reusability, and also hydrolysis of lactose when introduced into skim milk and acidic whey.

Filter hardness is important to filter and cigarette manufactures because it is directly related to the ability of a plugmaker during making filter and to the acceptability of the filter by the consumer. In general, glycerol triacetate(Triacetin, TA) is the currently used common plasticizer in making filters from cellulose acetate tow and the effect of triacetin on hardness of filter which is made of mono cellulose acetate tow was well known. But unfortunately, the effect of triacetin on the hardness of cellulose acetate filter containing ativated carbon(carbon filter) was not reported so far. In this study, we manufactured filters with various carbon content at different triacetin concentrations and then analyzed the filter hardness and pressure drop. Filter hardness was directly increased with triacetin concentration but pressure drop was not affected and the effect of carbon content on filter hardness was smaller than that of triacetin concentration. However, pressure drop was directly increased with carbon content.

Purified cellulosic materials suitable for the production of cellulose esters can be prepared from waste cotton (carding waste from textile mill). The most desirable conditions in purifying waste cotton were obtained. Waxy materials were removed by boiling in 2-3% soda ash solution for more than 30 minutes in open vessel at atmospheric pressure. As for bleaching, it is desirable to use the bleaching powder solution containing 1%, available chlorine for 60 minutes at 35 deg. C. Purified cellulosic material was acetylated to fibrous cellulose triacetate, which was fractionated in the solution of 70% monochloroacetic acid using water as a precipitant, and the degree of polymerizaion and molecular weight of each fraction were measured viscometrically, thereon, molecular weight distribution curve was drawn. Analyzing the shape of this curve, most of the polymers were concentrated on the part of higher degree of polymerization. Purified waste cotton was also analysed, the result was that this cellulosic material can be used as a raw material for cellulose esters and ethers.

Cellulose triacetate (CTA) polymer among cellulose esters were used for preparing hollow fiber membranes by phase separation method to investigate the gas permeation properties. To endow gas separation properties, 1,4-dioxane and LiCl were used as additives in the polymer dope solution. The spinning conditions including spinning temperature were controlled to form an active skin layer on the hollow fiber surface. Scanning electron microscopy was used to examine morphology of surface and cross section of the prepared CTA hollow fibers. The gas permeation performance of CTA hollow fiber membranes showed $P_{CO2}$ = 17 GPU and ${\alpha}_{CO2/N2}$ = 48.

The purpose of this study is to prepare forward osmosis (FO) membranes using a variety of cellulose-based polymers and to evaluate the performance of difference depending on each of the polymers and additives. Forward osmosis membranes based on cellulose acetate (CA) and cellulose triacetate (CTA) were prepared through phase inversion. The performance of FO membranes developed, such as flux and salt rejection, was compared under the osmotically- and pressure-driven conditions. In CA FO membranes, the execution time of solvent evaporation and membrane annealing induced the change in membrane performance. But the performance of CTA FO membrane was improved by using additives rather than annealing. Moreover, the flux of CTA FO membrane was $4.46\;L/m^2hr$ but that of CA/CTA FO membrane was $8.89\;L/m^2hr$ in FO mode. The CTA FO membrane with blending CA was more efficient to increase FO permeate flow rather than using a single polymer membrane.

The permeation characteristics were investigated for pure carbon dioxide and methane through asymmetric cellulose acetate(CA) membrane, composite cellulose acetate membrane and asymmetric cellulose triacetate(CTA) membrane. In particular, the effect of operating pressure on the permeation performance was examined. And the permeation behavior for a mixture of carbon dioxide and methane ($CO_2/CH_4=57.6/42.4$) was also investigated and compared to the characteristics obtained from pure gases. The experiments were run at the range of partial pressure from 25 to 125 psig, and room temperature. The permeation behaviors of the CA composite and CTA membrane were similiar to those of the CA membrane. The permeation rates of pure carbon dioxide for CA, CA composite and CTA membrane were increased slightly with an increase in upstream partial pressure, while in the case of pure methane they were independent of upstream partial pressure. For a binary mixture of carbon dioxide and methane, abnormal permeation behaviors were observed due to the plasticization of carbon dioxide and the competition effect of each gas. The separation factor and permeation rate for CTA membrane were found to be higher than those for CA membrane, but the mechanical strength of CTA membrane was very poor. And the permeation rate for CA composite membrane was higher than that for CA membrane. Consequently, it can be said that the CA composite membrane is a strong candidate for the separation of $CH_4$ and $CO_2$.

현재 상업화되어있는 RO membrane으로는 크게 asymmetric membrane과 composite membrane으로 구분될 수 있다. Asymmetric membrane의 소재로는 Cellulose acetate나 Cellulose triacetate와 같은 것들이 사용되며 현재에도 많이 사용되고 있으나, 보다 더 우수한 성능을 갖는 분리막을 제조하기 위해 현재에는 주로 composite membrane 형태로 제조된다. 대부분의 composite membrane은 계면중합에 의해 제조되는데 대표적인 membranem으로는 FT-30이 있다. 이 밖에도 support의 표면을 직접 플라즈마 처리하여 복합막을 제조하는 공정이 있으며 polyactrylonitrile과 같은 membrane이 이에 속한다. 플라즈마 처리된 복합막은 처리 대상에 크게 영향을 받지 않고 support 표면에 crosslinking의 형태로 형성되기 때문에 active layer가 매우 안정하며 따라서 우수한 물리화학적 성질을 기대할 수 있다. 이밖에도 분리막 표면을 친수성 단량체로 플라즈마 처리함으로써 분리막 표면에 친수성을 부여하거나 관능기를 도입함으로써 불활성 표면을 활성화 시킬 수도 있는 등의 여러가지 장점을 가지고 있다.
