Purposes of this study were to evaluate operational performance of submerged membrane bioreactor (MBR) combined with periodic chemical backwash. Five lab-scale submerged MBRs were performed in accordance with NaOH dose, backwash solution volume. While filtration resistance of MBR system without backwash (Control) was increased persistently from startup, those of four MBR systems (RUN 1-4) with chemical backwash were maintained at $(1.4{\pm}0.16){\times}10^{12}$, $(8.6{\pm}0.90){\times}10^{11}$, $(1.9{\pm}0.10){\times}10^{12}$, $(1.4{\pm}0.10){\times}10^{12}l/m$, respectively. Under chemical backwash condition of 0.0230 M, 375 mL, permeability of membrane was highest at flux of $30L/m^2/hr$. According to results from experiment that changing condition of dose and volume, it was estimated that effect of chemical dose acts more greatly than backwash solution volume. Because COD removal rates of all MBR systems with chemical backwash were more than 96%, it was proved that NaOH added to backwash solution did not affect microorganism.

The main object of this work was to determine the influence of periodic chemical backwash on filtration resistance in membrane filtration system. In this work Hermia's models were used to investigate the fouling mechanisms involved in the microfiltration of $0.45{\mu}m$ filtered sewage feed. Batch microfiltration experiments were performed at transmembrane pressure 0.4 bar and different feed SCOD concentration (9~67 mgSCOD/L). The results showed that the best fit to experimental data corresponded to the intermediate blocking model followed by the standard and complete blocking model for all the experimental conditions tested. From the simulation results of filtration performance, it was found that in order to maintain sustainable operation of membrane filtration system, irreversible foulant component accumulated continuously on membrane surface and/or pore must be effectively removed. In addition, it was verified that periodic chemical backwash using NaOCl or NaOH effectively improved filtration performance of membrane.

In this study, response of reversibility of membrane flux during chemically enhanced backwash (CEB) to changes in filtration time, filtration flux and coagulant concentration dosing during ultrafiltration (UF) process was investigated using a regression model. The model was developed via empirical modelling approach using response surface methodology. In developing the model, statistically designed UF experiments were conducted and the results compared with the model output. The results showed that the performance of CEB, evaluated in terms of the reversibility of the membrane flux, depends strongly on the changes in coagulant concentration dosage and the filtration flux. Also the response of the reversibility of membrane flux during CEB is independent of the filtration time. The variance ratio, VR << $F_{value}$ and $R^2$ = 0.98 obtained from the cross-validation experiments indicate perfect agreement of the model output with experimental results and also testify to the validity and suitability of the model to predict reversibility of the membrane flux during CEB in UF operation.

Various studies have forwarded an outstanding wastewater effluent treatment systems toward securing sustainable supply of water sources. In this paper, a broad overview of the performance of MF membrane as pretreatment option for wastewater reuse will be presented based on the literature survey and experiments conducted over the wastewater reuse pilot plant. The pilot plant was operated with a continuous data acquisition for about 300days under various chemical enhanced backwash (CEB) system with subsequent treated water quality analysis. Accordingly, assessment of the effluent revealed that the pretreated water is suitable enough to be used as an input for Reverse Osmosis (RO) unit and significant effect of CEB and concentration of NaOCl is also conceived from the analysis. Moreover, it's also observed that the application of various CEB condition over long operational hours induced a constant declination of overall performance of MF membrane.

한외여과 공정의 전처리 공정으로 응집을 적용하였으며, 막여과 공정에 미치는 응집공정의 영향을 평가하였다. 예상되는 응집 효과는 수질 개선, 막오염 저감 및 역세척 효율 향상 등이며, 응집 한외여과 막여과 공정을 연속운전을 통해 조사하였다. 이때 적용된 응집제는 황산반토, PACS, 염화제2철이다. 연구 결과 응집을 통해 처리수 수질을 크게 향상 시킬 수 있었으며, 현탁물질 보다는 유기물 제거율에 높은 효과가 있었고, 최대 30.6%의 제거율 향상을 나타내었다. 막오염 저감에 있어서는 세 종류의 응집제 모두 뚜렷한 효과를 관찰할 수 있었으며, 특히 장기운전에 TA어서 PACS가 가장 효과적이었다. 역세척 효율은 철염응집제가 가장 효과적이었으며, 적정 응집제 주입량에 가까울수록 효율이 향상되는 것으로 나타났다.

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane has high resistance to chlorine, which is a great advantages in chemical cleaning to recover water flux during membrane processes in drinking water systems. A humic kaolin water with approximately 4 mg/L of DOC and 10 NTU of turbidity was prepared as a feed water. Coagulation pretreatment with or without settling was applied. The coagulation with settling showed the greatest water production. The reduced flux was effectively recovered by NaOCl cleaning, i.e., 21% recovery by 50 mg/L of NaOCl cleaning and 49% recovery by 500 mg/L NaOCl cleaning. The images of SEM and AFM analyses were corresponded to the water flux variation. However, when the floc was accumulated on the membrane surfaces, the efficiency of NaOCl cleaning was substantially limited. In addition, dynamic contact angle became greater after cleaning, which indicates changes in characteristics of fouling layer such as surface hydrophobicity. Proper cleaning technologies during enhanced backwash using NaOCl would expand application of PTFE membranes in drinking water systems.

The aim of this study was to optimize the ozonation and ceramic membrane integrated process for greywater reclamation. The integrated process is a repeated sequential process of filtration and backwash with the same ceramic membrane. Also, this study used ozone and oxygen gas for the backwashing process to compare backwashing efficiency. The study results revealed that the optimum filtration and backwash time for the process was 10 minutes each when comparing the filtrate flow and membrane recovery rate. The integrated process was operated at three different operating conditions with i) 10 minutes for filtration and 10 minutes for ozonation, ii) 10 minutes for filtration and 10 minute for oxygen aeration, and iii) continuous filtration without any aeration for synthetic greywater. The integrated process with ozone backwashing could produce 0.55 L/min of filtrate with an average of 18.42% permeability recovery, while the oxygen backwashing produced 0.47 L/min and 6.26%, respectively. And without any backwashing, the integrated process could produce 0.29 L/min. This shows that the ozone backwash process is capable of periodically recovering from membrane fouling. The resistance of the fouled membrane was approximately 34.4% for the process with ozone backwashing, whereas the resistance was restored by 10.8% for the process with oxygen backwashing. Despite the periodical ozone backwashing and chemical cleaning, irreversible fouling gradually increased approximately 3 to 4%. Approximately 97.6% and 15% turbidity and TOC were removed by ceramic membrane filtration, respectively. Therefore, the integrated process with ozonation and ceramic membrane filtration is a potential greywater treatment process.

Ag 200 ppm과 총유량 120 l/h의 기준으로 이온 교환 섬유 시스템을 제작하였다. 이 시스템은 이온교환 섬유로서 강염기성인 FIVAN A-6을 이용하였고, 이온교환 섬유의 교환이 용이하고 고정틀이 필요 없도록 고안된 이중관 형 이온 교환 섬유조로 구성되어있다. 이 시스템의 이온교환섬유의 Ag에 대한 이온교환 용량은 4.6 meq/g 이었으며, 공정조건별로는 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 흡착공정의 경우 유속의 영향을 확인한 후 40~90 l/h의 범위에서 운전하였으며, pH 7~12 범위에서는 Ag의 착이온 형성에 대한 pH의 영향이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 역세공정의 경우 60~120 l/h의 범위에서 Ag 회수율 실험을 수행하였으며, 역세용 화학물질로는 NaOH, $NH_4Cl$, NaCl을 이용하여 비교실험을 하였고, 역세 화학물질이 고농도 일수록 탈착시간은 짧아지지만 몰당 탈착 효율은 저하되는 경향이었으므로 탈착시간과 농도의 균형을 잘 맞추어 운전해야 경제적 운전이 될 수 있음을 확인하였다. 강염기성 음이온 섬유인 FIVAN A-6와 이중관형 이온교환 섬유조를 이용하여 Ag 흡착율은 99.5% 이상, 총 Ag회수율은 96% 이상의 결과를 얻을 수 있었으며 상용화 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구는 해수담수화 전처리 기술로서 개발된 가압식 정밀여과(microfiltration: MF) 중공사막 모듈(막 면적 $35m^2$)의 성능평가를 목적으로 $1,000m^3/day$ 규모 해수담수화 파일럿플랜트를 대상으로 하였다. 약 3개월 동안 용존공기부상법으로 처리한 원수를 공급하여 $1.5m^3/m^2{\cdot}day$ 정유량 조건에서 여과주기, 유지 세정(chemically enhanced backwash: CEB) 농도와 세정 주기 변화 등에 따른 여과성능과 비용을 분석하였다. MF 막 성능 유지를 위한 유지 세정 시 약품 농도에 의한 영향보다는 반복 세정(4회/일)이 효과적이었으나, 경제적 측면에서는 회수율 제고를 위한 단일 세정 방식이 적절한 것으로 나타났다. 막간차압 및 비용분석을 통해 4가지 운전방식 중 1일 1회 NaOCl 100 mg/L 세정 방식을 최적 운전조건으로 도출하였다. MF 전처리 공정의 유지관리 조건 도출 시에는 성능 평가와 함께, 운전방식에 따른 경제성을 함께 고려하는 것이 적절할 것으로 판단된다.
