The various pretreatment processes were evaluated to remove organic pollutants of weathered oil contaminated seawater(WOCS) for reverse osmosis desalination process, Biodegradation, coagulation, ultrafiltration, advanced oxidation processes and granular activated carbon filtration were used to evaluate the potential of organic pollutants removal in WOCS. Dissolved Organic Carbon(DOC) was almost not removed by biodegradation in WOCS. DOC was removed by 25% and 10% with the addition of $FeCl_3$ and PAC in WOCS, respectively. The removal efficiency using ultrafiltration(WOCS 500) was about 20% of DOC and 40% of $E_{260}$, respectively. In AOP application of WOCS, the removal of organic materials was improved up to 60% by the combination of $UV/O_3$ compared to UV process. However, 98% of DOC in woes could be removed by granular activated carbon filtration. It is revealed that activated carbon filtration is the best process for the pretratment of DOC removal.

As rapid advances in technologies continue, seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination systems are now more energy-efficient than conventional thermal processes. Some SWRO desalination plants can achieve the specific energy consumption (SEC) below 2 kWh/$m^3$. Along with the development of new membranes and high-performance pumps, energy recovery devices (ERD), which recover the hydraulic energy of brine, have been developed to enhance energy efficiency. In this work, we reviewed general aspects of ERD technologies and their market trends. The advantages and disadvantages of various EDR technologies were compared to explore the future directions of ERD development.

At the present time the desalination technology of sea water for portable water in islands employs the RO method. The technology which needs complicated pretreatment processes with various chemicals can generate secondary water pollution and the high maintenance costs such as replacements of filters and membranes make islanders nearly impossible to operate. The MVRS technology for desalination of sea water however has several advantages such as constant production of quality portable water and capability of managing broad operating load. The variable-speed turbo-type vapor compressors employed in the system can utilize wind energy which is abundant in most Korean islands. Salt as a by-product can be produced by applying solar energy to the salt-concentrated waste water from the system. This paper discusses the relating topics such as technical and economical viabilities of the new MVRS desalination system for the production of portable water and salt as a by-product using new & renewable sources of energy.

The present study deals with a numerical investigation of heat and mass transfer in a Sweeping Gas Membrane Distillation (SGMD) used for desalination. The governing equations expressing the conservation of mass, momentum, energy and species with coupled boundary conditions were solved numerically. The slip boundary condition applied on the feed saline solution-hydrophobic membrane interface is taken into consideration showing its effects on profiles and process parameters.The numerical model was validated with available experimental data and was found to be in good agreement particularly when the slip condition is considered. The results of the simulations highlighted the effect of slip boundary condition on the velocity and temperature distributions as well as the process effectiveness. They showed in particular that as the slip length increases, the permeate flux of fresh water and process thermal efficiency rise.

Membrane distillation (MD) is a process used for water desalination. However, its commercialization is still hindered by its increased specific cost of production. In this work, several process configurations comprising Direct Contact and Permeate Gap distillation membrane units (PGMD/DCMD) were investigated to maximize the production rate and consequently reduce the specific water cost. The analysis was based on a cost model and an experimentally validated MD model. It was revealed that the best achievable water cost was approximately 5.1 $/㎥ with a production rate of 8000 ㎥/y. This cost can be further decreased to approximately 2 $/㎥ only if the heating and cooling energies are free of cost. Therefore, it is necessary to decrease the MD capital investment to produce pure water at economical prices.

In this contribution, the control of multivariable reverse osmosis (RO) desalination plant using proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers is presented. First, feed-forward compensators are designed using simplified decoupling method and then the PID controllers are tuned for flux (flow-rate) and conductivity (salinity). The tuning of PID controllers is accomplished by minimization of the integral of squared error (ISE). The ISEs are minimized using a recently proposed algorithm named as teacher-learner-based-optimization (TLBO). TLBO algorithm is used due to being simple and being free from algorithm-specific parameters. A comparative analysis is carried out to prove the supremacy of TLBO algorithm over other state-of-art algorithms like particle swarm optimization (PSO), artificial bee colony (ABC) and differential evolution (DE). The simulation results and comparisons show that the purposed method performs better in terms of performance and can successfully be applied for tuning of PID controllers for RO desalination plants.

In the present paper, a single stage fresh water generator was modified and extended to 2 effect desalination system. The inlet temperatures of hot water and feed water were selected as experiment parameters to get operating conditions and fresh water generating rates. The impacts of these parameters on operating conditions and fresh water generating rates were described in detail.

본 연구에서는 태양열에 의해 증발된 해수면에서의 수증기를 응축의 원리를 이용하여 담수의 생산이 가능한 친환경 담수장치(Eco-friendly Desalination System)를 고안하고, 가능성을 판단하는데 연구의 목적을 두고 있다. 응축 열전달 공식을 이용하여 습공기의 물성변화에 따른 연간 응축수 생산량을 예측하였으며, 항온항습챔버의 실험을 통해 실제 습공기조건 변화에 따른 응축량을 측정하였다. 습공기의 이론 응축률과 실험을 통해 측정한 실제 응축률의 오차율을 산출하였으며, 오차의 원인을 분석하고 응축률 보정계수인 응축계수와 점성계수를 구하여 보정된 이론 응축률 공식에 도출하였다. 보정된 응축률 식을 이용하여 설계된 규모의 풍력터빈연간 생산 가능한 담수량을 산출한 결과 최대 연간 약 2,927톤 정도의 담수를 생산할 수 있다는 사실을 알 수 있었다.

부여 능산리 서고분군에서 출토된 철지금은장관정을 대상으로 도금된 철제유물의 탈염 가능성 및 안정한 탈염방법을 연구하였다. 철지금은장관정은 철을 소지금속으로 하여 은판을 열로 접합시킨 후 그 위에 아말감도금으로 제작한 유물이다. 본 유물은 균열 및 박락된 부위 틈 사이로 철 부식화합물이 다른 재질의 금속(Au, Ag) 표면에 고착되어 있어 탈염이 필요하다고 판단했다. 따라서 금은장부 잔존 상태별로 A·B·C등급으로 분류하고 60℃에서 0.1M 알칼리 용액법인 NaOH법과 S.S.C법으로 탈염을 진행하였다. Cl^- 용출량과 탈염기간은 A등급을 제외하고 NaOH법이 S.S.C법보다 더 많은 양을 용출하였고 기간도 더 소요되었다. 탈염 전·후 금은장부의 Fe 성분을 비교하면 B등급을 제외하고 NaOH법이 S.S.C법에 비해 증가폭이 작았으나 NaOH법으로 탈염한 관정 4점의 금은장부가 일부 파손되어 유물의 안정성을 고려했을 때, S.S.C법으로 탈염하는 것이 안정할 것으로 판단된다.
