The sorption and permeation experiments with $O_2$ and $N_2$ were performed with poly sulfone hollow-fiber membrane to obtain oxygen-enriched air. Sorption of $O_2$ on poly sulfone membrane was 1.5'||'&'||'not;2.0 times higher than that of N2. Sorption of oxygen and nitrogen in poly sulfone membrane was described satisfactorily with "dual-mode sorption model". In the low pressure range below 3kgr!cm', about 85% of total sorption was Langmuir-type sorption and only 15% was Henry-type sorption. In the higher pressure above 3kgf/${cm}^2$, Langmuir sorption sites became almost saturated and reached asymptote, and the increase in total sorption with pressurizing might be due to the Henry~type sorption. The ideal separation factor ( P $O_2$/ P $N_2$) was in the range of 2~4, while the actual separation factor for the mixture was reduced to the value of 1.7~2.2.2.2.

Polyimide which is the glassy polymer has high chemical resistance, thermal stability and high mechanical property. In this study, the polyimide hollow fiber membranes were prepared by the dry-jet wet phase inversion in order to investigate the permeation porperties of the $H_2S$ and $CH_4$. The morphology of prepared hollow fiber membranes and their permeation behaviors of $H_2S$ and $CH_4$ before and after silicon coating were evaluated. The permeance of $H_2S$ and $H_2S/CH_4$ selectivity increased due to plasticization with increasing the feed pressure. The permeance of KSM03b and selectivity of KSM03d were highest among the three type membranes used this experiments. The permeance decreased but the $H_2S/CH_4$ selectivity increased with increasing the air gap. The permeance reduced after silicon coating. However, the selectivity increased and the selectivity of KSM03d was 275 at 7 atm.

In order to investigate $SO_2$ removal, PEI hollow fiber membranes were produced by a dry-wet phase inversion method. The membrane support layer on surface was coated with PEBAX1657$^{(R)}$ and PEG blending materials. Modules were prepared for the single gas permeation characteristics of composite membrane according to temperature and pressure. As a result, $SO_2$ permeance and $SO_2/N_2$ selectivity were 220~1220 GPU and 100~506 through operating condition, respectively. Moreover, $SO_2/CO_2/N_2$ mixture gas was used to compare the performance of separation properties according to temperature, pressure and retentate flow rate difference. $SO_2$ removal efficiency was increased with pressure and temperature.

Approximately 80% of water used in urban areas reappears as municipal wastewater (MWW). Reclamation of MWW is an attractive proposition under the present scenario of water stressed cities in India. In this paper, we attempted to reclaim MWW using lab-scale hollow- fiber (HF) membrane modules for possible reuse in non-potable applications. Experiments were conducted to evaluate the efficiency of virgin HF ($M_1$) and modified HF ($M_2$) modules. The $M_2$ module consists of HF modified with a skin layer formed through interfacial polymerization of m-phenylenediamine with trimesoyl chloride (MPD-TMC). The molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) of $M_1$ was 44000 g/mol and that of $M_2$ 10000 -14000 g/mol on the basis of rejection of polyethylene glycol. The combination of $M_1$ and $M_2$ modules was able to reduce concentrations of most of the pollutants in sewage and improved the treated water quality to the acceptable limits for non potable reuse applications. It is found that about 98-99% of the initial flux is recovered by the backwashing process, which was approximately two times in a month when operated continuously.

Recently, the economic, social and environmental significance of the water industry is increasing significantly due to rapid global urbanization, population growth, and imbalance in demand and supply of water resulted by climate change. The type of these water industries are all different and they can be distinguished by the kinds of membranes used. Mainly, polymer materials that have excellent physical and chemical stability are used, but recently various methods of assigning hydrophilicity have been introduced due to their hydrophobic properties. In this study, hydrophilic polymers of four types were introduced into a commercially available hollow support to assign hydrophilicity. Furthermore, the morphology of the coated hollow support through FE-SEM was confirmed as well. Also the contact angle was measured to examine the degree of hydrophilicity of the coated hollow support with each polymer. Finally,.effect of different time on water permeability as well as the relationship between water permeability and hydrophilic polymers were investigated. As a result, the coating with 1 wt% of pluronic has good hydrophilicity degree, and shows the excellent water permeability without blocking the pore of the hollow fiber. Therefore, it can be concluded that the hydrophilic coating using pluronic polymer is most suitable as the water treatment.

This study presents a mathematical modeling approach for developing models based on non-ideal conditions related to the membrane structure including porous supporting layer and deformation under pressure. Comparison of the findings with experimental data reveal the importance of considering the resistance in porous supporting layer though the effect of concentration polarization in the permeate stream could be neglected. Investigations on deformation of fibers under pressure ascertain that at larger fiber inner radius to outer radius ratios, increasing driving force may lead to an initial increase in permeability. After that, the effects of deformation dominates and thus permeability may be decreased.

FFF에서 외부장은 시료의 종류에 따라 선택적으로 사용되며, 그 외부장의 종류에 따라 세부기술로 구분되어진다. 원심력(gravitational or centrifugal field)을 외부장으로 사용하는 침강장-흐름분획법(sedimentation FFF)은 지름이 0,05∼1um정도인 콜로이드 입자의 분리에 좋은 방법이다. 온도구배(thermal fradient)를 이용하는 열장-흐름분획법(thermal FFF)은 유기 고분자의 분리 및 고분자의 물성연구에 이용된다.(중략)
