This short review focuses on fouling by proteins and macromolecules in microfiltration/ultrafiltration. First, an experimental system that enables investigation of how the extent of the adsorption of proteins and macromolecules on membrane surfaces contributes to a decrease in filtrate flux in microfiltration/ultrafiltration is described. Using this system, a causal relationship - not a correlation - indicating that adsorption results in a decrease in filtrate flux could be clearly demonstrated in some cases. Second, a hydration structure at the membrane surface that can suppress adsorption is discussed, inspired by biomaterial research. In their hydrated states, polymers with low-fouling properties have water molecules with a particular structure. Finally, some successful examples of the development of low-fouling membranes via surface modification using low-fouling polymers are discussed.

This study was conducted to evaluate the performance of submerged hollow fiber MF processes to treat secondary wastewater for water reuse. Specifically, membrane productivity and filtrate water quality were investigated under various operating conditions (i.e. flux, recovery, and backwash rate) at pilot-scale. Membrane fouling became more severe with increasing flux and recovery, suggesting that low flux operation (< 25 LMH) was desirable. At high flux operating(> 37.5 LMH), increasing backwash rate showed only limited success. The biofouling, quantified by PEPA and BFHPC, was also significant in wastewater reclamation, and biogrowth control by chlorine, were necessary to improve membrane productivity. Filtrate water qualities are in good compliance with water reuse regulations regardless of operating conditions (flux, recovery and backwash rate). Particle (e.g. turbidity) removal ranged from 89 to 98%, while only 11 to 21% of organics (e.g. NPDOC) were removed by MF membrane. Only small improvement in biostability (e.g. AOC) was achieved by MF system, and thus, without post disinfection, significant microorganisms might be present in the filtrate due to regrowth. Lastly, in order to further investigate pathogen removal, controlled microbial challenge tests were performed by monitoring Giardia, Cryptosporidium, bacteria and virus, and showed relatively good microbial removal.

Hot-water soluble extracts were prepared from medium-sized barks of Siberian larch (Larix gmelineii). The extracts were fractionated by ultrafiltration method for producing uniform quality of adhesives. Molecular weight distribution of the extracts was ranged of 100 to 300.000. pH of the extracts affected amounts of flux, and the range of pH 6~pH 8 was proper for wood adhesives, because of easy concentration and fast gelation time. Removal of particles greater than $0.45{\mu}m$ from the extracts increased both filtration speed (flux) and yields of solids in the filtrates. In ultrafiltration process. operating pressure, filtrate temperature, and flow rate significantly increased with the increase of individual condition. Ultrafiltration using PM10 membrane was very effective to fractionate and concentrate the extracts. Removal of large particles greater than 0.45 m from the extracts increased filtration speed(flux) and yields of solids in the filtrates. A gelation time was accelerated with the increasing pH of the extracts and its concentration. The Stiasny precipitate(26%) from the filtrate obtained by PM 10 membrane was very lower than that(78%) of the retentates. This ultrafiltration method was efficient for obtaining high yield purified phenolic compounds.

본 연구의 목적은 대기공 정밀여과(Large Pore Micro-Filtration, LPMF)막의 수처리 응용을 위한 실험실 규모에서의 성능을 평가한 것으로 이를 통해 문제점 및 해결방안을 제시하는 것이다. 본 연구에 사용된 평균 기공이 $5{\mu}m$ LPMF막은 PET Braid가 보강되어 있는 PVDF 재질의 외압형 중공사막으로 여과실험은 30 cm의 수두차 혹은 1.5 bar 이하의 압력차로 수행하였으며, 역세는 여과수에 압축공기로 약 4 bar의 압력을 가한 후 수초 내에 순간 역세하는 가압역세였다. 0.2 bar의 TMP (Trans Membrane Pressure)에서 $0.05{\mu}m$ UF로 전처리한 시수로 $0.4{\mu}m$의 MF와 flux를 비교한 결과 UF에 비해 LPMF의 flux가 약 2배 정도 높았으며, 동일한 시수에 대해 15~30 cm의 수두차에 따른 flux를 측정한 결과 30 cm 수두차에서 800 LMH 이상의 높은 flux를 확인하였다. 또한 여과수의 탁도 향상과 여과 flux의 안정적 유지를 위해 여러 가지 무기응집제에 대한 $5{\mu}m$ 기공의 여지를 이용한 Time-To-Filter (TTF)를 통해 적정 응집제 및 그 주입량을 결정하였다. 고농도 무기응집제 주입 및 30 cm 이상의 수두차로 LPMF를 중력식으로 운전하였을 때 flux는 80 LMH 이상이었고, 탁도 제거율은 93.5~99.5%이었다. 특히 약 4 bar의 압력의 순간 가압역세를 한 결과 막의 충진율이 19%인 경우 여과수의 회수율을 약 97%로 유지하면서도 여과 flux가 안정적으로 유지되었으나, 막충진율을 약 43%인 경우 순간 가압역세만으로는 역세가 불안정하였던 관계로 여과압력이 지속적으로 상승하는 등의 여과공정이 불안정한 문제점을 보였다.

공업용 $TiO_2$, $K_2CO_3$, $K_2MoO_4$를 출발원료로 사용하여 소성법과 융제법에 의해 육티탄산칼륨 섬유를 합성하였다. 소성법의 경우 비등수로 처리한 후의 여액이 pH 9 이상의 알칼리성이 되므로 적절한 중화 처리가 필요하였으며, 칼륨 성분의 회수는 미량이므로 회수한다는 것이 경제적으로 부적합하였다. 또한 융제법의 경우 초생상 10g을 100ml로 10번 처리하였을 때 융제인$K_2MoO_4$, 중 Mo성분이 96.1%, K성분이 91.8%가 회수되었다.

대표적인 단백질 물질인 bovine serum albumin(BSA), lysozyme, pepsin, casein 그리고 ovalbumin의 이성분계 단백질 혼합물의 미세 분리 막에서 보이는 막 오염 현상에 관한 실험을 고찰하였다. 트랙 에치법에 의해 제조된 $0.2{\mu}m$ 폴리카보네이트 미세 막을 이용하여 단백질 혼합물 용액의 조성과 종류가 여과유량감속에 미치는 영향에 대한 실험을 일정한 압력(14 kPa)과 수소이온농도(pH=11) 하에서 수행하였다. 각각의 이성분 단백질 혼합물에 대한 막오염 현상을 확인하였으며, 유량 감속 데이터는 최근에 개발된 pore blockage-cake formation 모델을 이용하여 분석한 결과, 실험 결과와 일치하였다. 이성분계 단백질 혼합물의 조성과 단백질 종류가 막오염 및 유속변화에 미치는 영향은 공극막힘속도(${\alpha}$), 단백질 침적층의 초기 저항($R_{po}$) 및 단백질 저항의 증가속도(${\beta}$)에 의해 설명 할 수 있었다. 대체로 공극막힘속도의 변화는 유속감소현상과 일치함을 알 수 있으며, 특히 casein이 존재하는 단백질 혼합물에서의 급격한 유량감속은 casein에 의한 단백질 침적층의 초기저항에 크게 기인된 것으로 판단된다.

Three Mesh Screenning Reactors (MSRs) were operated in three different modes to investigate the effect of the mesh opening size and the filtrate flux on the removal of particulate matters and the production of soluble organic matters. The mesh opening size was $82{\mu}m$ (Mode 1), $61{\mu}m$ (Mode 2) and $38{\mu}m$ (Mode 3), respectively, and each mode has three different filtrate flux; $0.47m^3/m^2/d$, $0.95m^3/m^2/d$ and $1.42m^3/m^2/d$, respectively. TSS removal efficiency of mode 1, 2, and 3 fed with 191 mgTSS/L was 27%, 36%, and 60%, respectively. The SCOD concentration of 91mg/L in influent for the mode 1, 2, and 3 increased to 117 mg/L, 127 mg/L, and 155 mg/L, respectively. For the all MSRs, there was no significant effect of filtrate flux on the removal of particulate matters and the production of soluble organic matters. However, the mesh opening size greatly affected the removal of particulate matters and the production of soluble organic matters in wastewater. Three parallel A2O processes consisting of anaerobic, anoxic and aerobic reactors maintaining mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) of 3,000 mg/L were operated to investigate the effectiveness of MSR on the removal efficiencies of the organic matters, nitrogen, and phosphorus; MSR influent was introduced to System 1 (183 mgTSS/L, 324 mgTCOD/L, 87 mgSCOD/L, 45.2 mgTKN/L, and 6.6 mgTP/L) and MSR efluent was introduced to System 2 and 3(72 mgTSS/L, 289 mgTCOD/L, 141 mgSCOD/L, 40.2 mgTKN/L, and 4.2 mgTP/L). HRTs of the anaerobic reactors in systems 1, 2 and 3 were 1 h, 1 h and 0.6 h, respectively and anoxic reactors were 2 h in all systems. HRTs of the aerobic reactors in systems 1, 2 and 3 were 5 h, 3 h and 3 h, respectively. TSS concentration in effluent of both system 2 and 3 is about 8 mg/L and lower than that of system 1 effluent. Despite higher TCOD loading and SCOD loading, both Systems 2 and 3 had a greater TCOD and SCOD removal efficiency at 91% and 92% than System 1 was at 88% and 82%, respectively. The nitrification efficiency for system 2 was greater than observed for System 1 (99% verses 97%). The denitrification efficiency for systems 1, 2 and 3 was 78%, 88% and 87%, respectively. System 2 and 3 showed about 12% higher TN removal efficiency than system 1 (85% verses 73%). The effluent TP concentration for system 2 was less than observed for system 1 and 3.

The present study was to investigate the purification of a fermentation broth by an electromicrofiltration membrane. Microfiltration runs with a crude and a centrifuged broth, with solution of particles recovered from centrifugation and with permeates from microfiltration experiments were thus compared. Microfiltration performances were governed by colloids and small particles that induced sharp initial flux declines. For these results, the evolution of the overall membrane resistance was increased by $80\%$ in comparison with the electromicrofiltration membrane. The main focus of this study was set on the enhancement of the filtrate flux by an electric field. This pressure electrofiltration leads to a drastic improvement of the filtration by $100\%$ and the filtration time was thereby reduced. Pressure electrofiltration serves as an inter­esting alternative to the cross-flow filtration and it effectively separates advantageous constitu­ents such as amino acids and biopolymers from a fermentation broth. They were equally main­tained during the microelectrofiltration, although they were significantly reduced by $45\%$ by the microfiltration without the application of an electric field. Accordingly, since the electrofiltration membrane was provided more permeability, this study experimentally demonstrates that the permeability inside a membrane can be controlled using an electric field.

테일러 와류흐름 여과에서 평균기공 1.2 ${\mu}m$인 셀룰로우스 에스테르 정밀막으로 이루어진 내부원통의 회전속도와 슬러리의 농도, 입자의 크기에 따른 여과선속의 변화를 실험을 통하여 알아보았다. 여과선속은 압력차에 비례하고 저항에 반비례하였으며, 시간에 따른 케이크 층의 저항 변화를 회전속도, 슬러리의 농도, 입자의 크기에 따라 검토하였다. 회전속도가 증가할수록 케이크 저항이 감소하고 짧은 시간에 준정상 상태에 도달하였다 슬러리의 농도를 증가시킬수록 초기 저항이 급격히 증가하였고 높은 저항값에서 준정상 상태가 유지되었으나, 준정상 상태에 도달하는 시간은 농도에 무관하였다. 입자 크기가 작을 때 저항이 크게 나타남을 관찰하였는데, 입자 크기가 작을수록 막 기공을 막을 확률이 더 높고 전단력에 의해 영향을 덜 받기 때문이라 생각할 수 있다. 본 연구에서 제안한 모델식은 입자의 퇴적과 제거항으로 나누어져 있는데, 실험상수의 평균값을 사용하여 실험결과와 잘 일치하였다.
