본 연구에서는 소수성 PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) 분리막의 산소동위원소 분리특성을 확인하기 위해 물의 온도에 따른 수증기의 막 투과특성을 Air Cap Membrane Distillation (AGMD)과 Vacuum Enhanced Membrane Distillation (VEMD) 방법을 이용하여 각각 측정하였다. 투과된 수증기는 트랩에서 수거하여 투과플럭스 (permeation flux)를 측정하였고$ H_2^{16}O$와 $H_2^{18}O$의 성분비는 다이오드 레이저 흡수분광법을 이용하여 측정하였다. 분리막을 투과한 수증기에서 무거운 산소동위원소의 성분비가 감소함을 확인하였고 분리계수는 실험 조건에 따라 1.004~1.01로 측정되었다. 또한 분리막의 기공에 있는 공기가 산소동위원소의 분리에 미치는 영향을 확인하였고 기공내 공기가 없을 때 동위원소 분리계수가 증가함을 관찰하였다.

In this study, the performance experiment was conducted to compare the permeate flux of hollow fiber Vacuum Membrane Distillation module according to leak problem between module housing and membrane bundle. For the permeate flux performance experiment of the two Vacuum Membrane Distillation modules, the Lab-scale experimental equipment was built in the capacity of $1m^3/day$. The performance test of the two Vacuum Membrane Distillation modules were analyzed according to the feed water conditions. As a result, it was analyzed that the leak VMD module decreased about 14% of permeate flux than normal VMD module.

Membrane distillation (MD) is one of the water treatment processes which involves the momentum, heat and mass transfer through channels and membrane. In this study, CFD modeling has been used to simulate the heat and mass transfer in the direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD). Also, the effect of operating parameters on the water flux is investigated. The result shows a good agreement with the experimental result. Results indicated that, while feed temperature is increasing in the feed side, water flux improves in the permeate side. Since higher velocity leads to the higher mixing and turbulence in the feed channel, water flux rises due to this increase in the feed velocity. Moreover, results revealed that temperature polarization coefficient is rising as flow rate (velocity) increases and it is decreasing while the feed temperature increases. Lastly, the thermal efficiency of direct contact membrane distillation is defined, and results confirm that thermal efficiency improves while feed temperature increases. Also, flow rate increment results in enhancement of thermal efficiency.

본 연구에서는 기공의 크기가 $0.4{\mu}m$의 소수성 막인 폴리에틸렌 100가닥으로 모듈을 제작하여 직접접촉식과 동반기체식 막증류 과정에서 막의 양단의 온도차, 공급수의 염분농도, 그리고 냉각수/동반기체의 유량에 대해서 투과수의 플럭스를 측정하였다. 이론적으로는, 동반기체식 막증류는 직접접촉식 막증류 공정의 막의 투과측 표면과 냉각수 사이에 동반 기체층이 추가된 것으로 간주하였다. 이 동반기체층은 새로운 저항층과과 동반기체의 이동중 상변화된 수증기가 손실되는 것이 투과유속을 30% 정도 감소시키게 된다. 물질수지식을 이용하여, 기존의 식과는 다르게 보정계수(${\omega}$)를 넣어 직접접촉식 막증류와 동반기체식 막증류의 이론값을 실험값과 비교 분석하였다.

새로운 분리공정으로서 Membrane Distillation(MD)에 대하여 고찰하였다. 정밀여과에서 이용되고 있는 소수성막이 MD공정에 적합한 막소재가 된다. MD는 고온보다는 완화된 온도에서 100%에 가까운 선택도를 가지면서 기존의 수처리 공정을 간소화시킬 수 있는 가능성이 있다. MD는 막표면의 기공에서 층기-액체간의 상분리가 일어나는 분리원리를 이용한다. 공급액 및 투과액의 온도, 조성, 막의 젖음현상, 열 및 물질전달이 MD의 선택도와 플럭스를 결정할 수 있다.

This study investigated effects of physical and chemical cleaning methods on the initial flux recovery of fouled membrane in membrane distillation process. A laboratory scale direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) experiment was performed to treat digested livestock wastewater with 3.89 mg/L suspended solids, 874.7 mg/L COD, 543.7 mg/L nitrogen, 15.6 mg/L total phosphorus, and pH of 8.6. A hydrophobic PVDF membrane with an average pore size of $0.22{\mu}m$ and a porosity of 75 % was installed inside a direct contact type membrane distillation module. The temperature difference between feed and permeate side was maintained at $40^{\circ}C$ with the feed and permeate stream velocity of 0.18 m/s. The results showed that the permeate flux decreased from $22.1L{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}hr^{-1}$ to $19.0L{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}hr^{-1}$ after 75 hours of distillation. The fouled membrane was cleaned first by physical flushing and consecutively by chemicals with NaOCl and citric acid. After the physical cleaning the flux was recovered to 92 % as compared with the initial clean water flux of the virgin membrane. Then 94 % of the flux was recovered after cleaning by 2,000 ppm NaOCl for 90 minutes and finally 97 % of flux recovered after 3 % citric acid for 90 minutes. SEM-EDS and FT-IR analysis results presented that the foulants on the membrane surface were removed effectively after each cleaning step. The contact angle measurement showed that the hydrophobicity of the membrane surface was also restored gradually after each cleaning step to reach nearly the same hydrophobicity level as the virgin membrane.

The objective of this study was to examine the recovery of the power plant cooling tower blowdown water (CTBD) by membrane distillation. The experiments were carried out using a flat plate poly vinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane with a pore diameter of $0.22{\mu}m$ by a direct contact membrane distillation unit (DCMD). The effects of operating parameters such as transmembrane temperature difference (${\Delta}T$), circulation rate and operating time on permeate flux and membrane fouling have been investigated. The results indicated that permeate flux increased with increasing ${\Delta}T$ and circulation rate. Whereas maximum permeate flux was determined as $47.4L/m^2{\cdot}h$ at ${\Delta}T$ of $50^{\circ}C$ for all short term experiments, minimum permeate flux was determined as $7.7L/m^2{\cdot}h$ at ${\Delta}T$ of $20^{\circ}C$. While $40^{\circ}C$ was determined as the optimum ${\Delta}T$ in long term experiments. Inorganic and non-volatile substances caused fouling in the membranes.

이축연신 나이론 막을 사용한 단일투과증발막 셀을 이용하여 공급액의 온도 및 농도에 따른 투과실험식을 구하고, 투과증발막 모듈을 사용하여 이 실험식의 적합성 및 투과시 소요되는 소비에너지를 산출하였다. 투과증발막 모듈을 이용해서 투과측의 압력이 2 mmHg와 20 mmHg의 경우 공급액의 에탄올 농도 90 wt%를 99.5 wt%로 농축시키는 경우, 투과측압력이 2 mmHg일 때가 20 mmHg일 때에 비해 동일조건의 에탄올 농축을 위한 막의 면적이 증가하였다. 각 압력의 조건에서 나이론 막을 이용한 membrane-aided distillation의 모사를 한 막의 투과속도 및 선택성에 대한 실험식을 도출하고 이를 이용하여 10 wt%의 에탄올 수용액을 99.5 wt%로 농축하는 membrane-aided distillation공정의 소비에너지를 구하였다. 그 결과 막의 투과량이 과다한 경우 다시 증류탑에서 재 농축을 해야하므로 막에 의한 에너지소비 절감효과가 상쇄될 수 있음을 보여주었다. 따라서 이 공정에 의해 에탄올을 농축하는 경우 효과적으로 에너지를 절약하기 위해서는 막의 선택성이 매우 중요하다는 것을 보여주었다.

In this study, a theoretical model for the transport phenomena in an Air Gap Membrane Distillation used for desalination was developed. The model is based on the conservation equations for the mass, momentum, energy and species within the feed water solution as well as on the mass and energy balances on the membrane sides. The rarefaction impacts are taken into consideration showing their effects on process parameters particularly permeate flow and thermal efficiency. The theoretical model was validated with available data and was found in good agreement especially when the slip condition is introduced. The rarefaction impact was found considerable inducing an increase in the permeate flux and the thermal efficiency.

The present study deals with a numerical simulation for the transport phenomena in three configurations of Membrane Distillation (Air Gap, Direct Contact and Sweeping Gas Membrane Distillation) usually used for desalination in order to make an objective comparison between them under the same operating conditions. The models are based on the conservation equations for the mass, momentum, energy and species within the feed saline and cooling solutions as well as on the mass and energy balances on the membrane sides. The theoretical model was validated with available data and was found in good agreement. DCMD configuration provided the highest pure water production while SGMD shows the highest thermal efficiency. Process parameters' impact on each configuration are also presented and discussed.
