When ceramic membrance was made from metal salt solution in place of metal akoxide solution, crack free and good adhesion to supporter was optimized for sol stability and good adhesion force. A starting sol was prepared from aluminum oxychloride aqueous solutjion in order to inhibit the grain growthof Al2O3 during heat treatment. The crack free dip coating can't be achieved in 1mol/ι zirconium oxychloride solution because of the high viscosity which interferes with the hydration copolymerization between Al3+ ion and Zr4+ ion. Thus Al2O3-ZrO2 sol stability and viscosity for dip coating was effective when 0.01 mol/ι zirconium oxychloride was added. The minimizing of crack and achieving better adhesion to the supporter wa obtained by microwave drying, surfactant addition and ultrasonic dip coating in wet atmosphere. The result seems to minimize the capillary force and improve the adhesive ability to supporter during the process. Where the average pore size of Al2O3-ZrO2 ultrafilter ceramic membrane measured 17 Å by the BET method and observed γ-Al2O3 phase with tetragonal zirconia after firing at 700℃.

We synthesized $La_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}Co_{0.2}Fe_{0.8}O_{3-\delta}$ powders by coprecipitation, citration and solid-state reactions. The oxygen permeation membranes were fabricated by cold isostatic pressing of the synthesized powders, followed by sintering in air. All powders and membranes consist of perovskite phases. The coprecipitated powders showed the highest surface area ($7.5m^2/g$) but strontium deficiency was found during washing and filtering in the process. The membrane with lower relative density was fabricated by citration method. On the other hand, solid state reacted powders had high relative density (95%), and mechanical properties showed superior properties. Especially, the composition of the solid-state reacted powders was relatively well-controlled.

In this study using $N_2$-back flushing, which wwas not the general back-flushing method of membranes, the discharged wastewater from a paper plant was filtrated by 4 kinds of tubular carbon ceramic ultrafiltration membranes. We could in vestigate effects of $N_2$-back flushing period, transmembrane pressure (TMP)and flow rate and find optimal operating conditions. The $N_2$-back flushing time (BT) was fixed at 40 sec, filtration times (FT) were changed in 4~32 min, TNP in $1.0~3.0kg_f/cm^2$ the flow celocities in 0.53~1.09cm/s. The optimal conditions were discussed in the viewpoints of dimensionless permeate flux ($J/J_0$), toal permeate volume ($V_T$) and resistance of membrane fouling ($R_f$). Optimal back-flushing period was BT/FT=0.167 (FT=8 min ), in which more $V_T$ was obtained than that in BT/FT=0.083 (FT=4 min) which was the most friquent back-flushing condition. Then rising TMP should increase the driving force, and more $V_T$ could be accumulated. And rising flow rate should decrease membrane fouling increase permeate flux, and more $V_T$could be produced. Average rejection rates of pollutants were higher than 95% for turbidity and 45~83% for $COD_{Cr}$, but rejection rates of total dissolved solid (TDS) were lower than 10%.

Ceramic membranes are generally used for various industrial processes operating under extreme conditions because of its high thermal and chemical stability. However, due to the trade-off phenomenon of permeability and mechanical strength, preparation of high permeability-high strength membrane is necessary. In this study, the change in characteristics and performances of ceramic membranes was analyzed depending on the type of polymer binder and its mixing ratio. Because the solubility between solvent and polymer binder was higher in PSf (polysulfone) than in PES (polyethersulfone), the viscosity and discharge pressure of the PSf-based dope solution were higher than those of PES-based dope solution. When PSf was used as a polymer binder, ceramic membrane showed high mechanical strength and low water permeability due to the dense structure. On the other hand, in case of PES, the mechanical strength was slightly reduced and the water permeability was increased. It was confirmed that the optimum mixing ratio of the PSf and PES with high water permeability and mechanical strength was 9:1.

This review focused carbon-free hydrogen productions from ammonia decomposition including inorganic membranes, catalysts and the presently studied reactor configurations. It also contains general information about hydrogen productions from hydrocarbons as hydrogen carriers. A Pd-based membrane (e.g. a porous ceramic or porous metallic support with a thin selective layer of Pd alloy) shows its efficiency to produce the high purity hydrogen. Ru-based catalysts consisted of Ru, support, and promoter are the efficient catalysts for ammonia decomposition. Packed bed membrane reactor (PBMR), Fluidized bed membrane reactor (FBMR), and membrane micro-reactor have been studied mainly for the optimization and the improvement of mass transfer limitation. Various types of reactors, which contain various combinations of hydrogen-selective membranes (i.e. Pd-based membranes) and catalysts (i.e. Ru-based catalysts) including catalytic membrane reactor, have been studied for carbon-free hydrogen production to achieve high ammonia conversion and high hydrogen flux and purity.

분리막을 이용한 분리 기술은 에너지 소모가 적고 공정이 간단하다는 장점이 있다. 현재까지는 고분자막이 대부분이었으나, 무기막의 열적, 기계적, 화학적 안정성 등의 장점으로 인해 이의 개발 및 응용에 관해 많은 연구가 시도되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 졸 겔법에 의한 $\gamma-Al_2O_3$ 막의 제조 과정 중 여러 변수에 따르 졸의 입자 크기, 막의 구조, 막의 코팅 특성 및 기체 투과 특성에 관하여 연구하였다.

고정발생원으로 부터 배출되고 있는 이산화탄소를 분리하여 회수 및 재이용하는 기술개발이 에너지 보전 측면에서 뿐만 아니라 환경오염 문제 등을 해결할 수 있는 중요한 과제이다. 특히 내열성, 내식성 및 기계적 강도가 뛰어난 세라믹의 특성을 이용한 기체분리막을 응용한다면 고온으로부터 저온까지의 폭넓은 온도, 압력, 가스조성의 배기가스로부터 이산화탄소를 분리하는 것이 가능해 진다. 따라서 본 총설에서는 현재 일본에서 국책과제로 진행되고 있는 이산화탄소의 고온분리에 대한 연구개발(이하, '$CO_2$ 프로젝트'로 약칭) 현황을 소개하고자 한다.

폐윤활유 재생용 TiO2 한외여과막은 정밀영과용 지르코니아 복합막(즉, 복층담채) 및 알루미나 단층 담체(기공크기 0.1$mu extrm{m}$)상에 졸-겔 코팅법에 의하여 TiO2 분리막 층을 코팅하여 제조 하였다. TiO2 졸의 특성 분석을 통하여 봉입침지(sealed dip-coating) 및 가압 코팅(pressurized coating)법으로 결함이 없는 TiO2 복합막을 제조할 수 있는 코팅조건을 최적화 하였다. 합성 TiO2 한외여과막의 분리막층 두께는 1$\mu\textrm{m}$이하의 범위에서 조절되었으며,기공값을 보여주었으며 75$0^{\circ}C$까지 열처리하여도 80%정도의 용질배제율(기공크기 22.5nm)을 유지하는 점으로 봐서 고온 공정을 요하는 폐윤활유 재생막으로서 충분한 열적 안정성을 갖고 있었다.
