인구의 급속한 증가, 한정된 식수 자원의 오염 등으로 인하여 인류에게 필수적인 물이 점점 부족해지고 있다. 깨끗한 물을 얻기 위해 분리막 공정을 이용한 수처리 방식이 널리 사용되고 있으며, 분리막 공정 중 하나인 정삼투 공정은 고압펌프 없이 구동이 가능하다. 정삼투 공정이 높은 수투과도를 가지기 위해서는 내부 농도 분극 현상 및 Reverse salt flux를 적게 일으키는 유도 용질 개발이 필요하며, 희석된 유도 용액에 포함된 유도 용질의 경제적인 회수 방법 개발 또한 필요하다. 현재까지는 $60^{\circ}C$ 가량에서 회수가 가능한 $NaHCO_3$와 같은 무기 유도 용질, 음료수 생산이 가능한 sucrose와 같은 유기 유도 용질, 자기장을 이용해 회수가 가능한 magnetic nanoparticle과 같은 유도 용질들이 개발되어 보고되었다. 또한, 이러한 정삼투 원리를 이용하여 해수 담수, 폐수처리, 단백질 정제, 압력 지연 삼투 이용한 에너지 생산, 관개를 위한 농축된 비료 희석, 바이오 연료를 위해 폐수로부터 조류를 키우는 공정과 같은 분야에 적용될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 정삼투 공정에 영향을 주는 유도용액의 특성과 이상적인 조건, 여러 가지 유도 용질 및 유도용질의 회수 방법, 정삼투 공정의 적용 분야를 여러 논문 내용들을 바탕으로 정리하였다.

Conventional membrane systems was difficults to treatment for the swine waste water. Technological advances in membrane filtration systems have created opportunity for the swine wastewater to treat effluent streams in order to meet stricter environmental constraints. "Vibratory Shear Enhanced Processing(VSEP)" developed by new logic international makes it possible to filter effluent streams without the fouling problem exhibited by conventional membrane systems. Various kinds of waste water occurred to and swine wastewater experiment with "VSEP" set up conventional reverse osmosis membrane (ACM-4, ESPA, BW-30). The results were as followes : Treatment efficiency for the input COD(From $332mg/{\ell}$ to $4,968mg/{\ell}$) was 98%. Treatment efficiency for the input SS(From $140mg/{\ell}$ to $4,040mg/{\ell}$) was 100%(All together). Treatment efficiency for the input T-N(From $155mg/{\ell}$ to $934mg/{\ell}$) was 97%~99.8%. Treatment efficiency for the input T-P(From $28.6mg/{\ell}$ to $132mg/{\ell}$) was 99.7% and up. ESPA membrane excels three types of reverse osmosis membranes applied VSEP in removal efficiency.

Membrane fouling is an unavoidable phenomenon in operation of seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) and major obstacle for economic and efficient operation. When fouling occurs on the membrane surface, the permeate flux is decreased, on the contrary, the trans-membrane pressure (TMP) is increased, therefore operation and maintaining costs and potential damage of membranes are able to the pivotal risks of the process. Chemical cleaning process is essential to prevent interruptions for effective RO membrane filtration process. This study focused on proper chemical cleaning condition for polyamide RO membranes of 4 companies. Several chemical agents were applied for chemical cleaning under numbers of operating conditions. Additionally, a monitoring tool of FEEM as autopsy analysis method is adapted for the prediction of organic bio-fouling.

본 연구는 pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) 분리막의 구조적 특성이 미치는 영향에 대하여 수행되었다. 이를 위해, 유사 분자구조를 가지며 자유부피는 차이가 나는 BPS-XX, BisA-XX가 선택되었다. BPS-XX와 BisA-XX는 축중합 반응을 통해 합성되었으며, 또한 더 세분화된 결과를 위해서 20~60 mol.%로 술폰화되었다. 자유부피의 변화에 따른 분리막의 특성을 입증하기 위해서 몇 가지 특성평가가 진행되었다. 연구 결과에서 동일 분자구조에서 자유부피가 증가하면 막의 투과도가 증가하였고, 선택도는 감소하였다. 본 연구의 투과도-선택도 결과에서, 분자의 기본 구조와 자유부피 조절에 따라서, 고 투과도와 선택도를 가진 막을 제조 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

Desalination system of revers osmosis(RO) membrane has been proven to be the most economical not only for the desalination of water containing salts, but also for the concentration of solute. RO membranes were traditionally made of inorganic polymers such. as cellulose acetate(CA), Polyamide(PA). To retain more minerals in deep ocean water, a new hybrid membrane composed of tourmaline film as organic material onto inorganic layer of CA polymer in asymmetric structure was developed for RO membrane process. The performance tests were carried out in the permeability of pure water and the rejection of NaCl solution to evaluate the adaptability for DOW desalination. The results of these basic tests show possibility to apply the new hybrid RO membrane for the desalination with function control.

$ZnSo_4{\cdot}7H_2O$에 의한 모델폐수에서 Zn 농도 및 pH를 변화하여 역삼투 실험하였고, Zn용액의 pH에 따라 아연의 제거율은 상당히 변화하였고, pH 3.0~11.5 범위에서 실험한 바 pH 8.3일 때가 아연제거율은 99.9% 이상, 투과 속도는 $1.49 {\times} 10^{-3}cm/sec$로 가장 큰 값을 보였다. 아연모델폐수에 Cyanide를 아연농도와 동량으로 첨가하였을 때, 아연은 99%, Cyanide는 93% 정도 제거가 가능하였다. 또한 첨가제로 음이온계면활성제 등을 첨가하여 실험한 결과, Membrane에서의 투과속도가 $0.76 {\times} 10^{-3}cm/sec$로 현저히 감소하였다.

Reverse osmosis technology is being used on large scale for treatment of ground water, brackish water, wastewater and sea water. The most challenging issue in RO process is carbonate scaling which is directly linked with the efficiency and economy. Considering the natural phenomena of carbonate scaling different adaptations have been made to control scaling on the surface of RO membrane including acid dosage and antiscalant addition. As carbonate scaling is directly related with pH level of feed water, present study describes an experimental approach to reduce scaling on RO membrane by lowering the feed water pH by purging $CO_2$. In this comparative study four different conditions including control process (without any scale inhibitor), with dosage of antiscalant, with purging of $CO_2$ and with co addition of antiscalant and $CO_2$ in a feed stream line; it was established that $CO_2$ is a better appliance to reduce carbonate scaling on the membrane surface by reduce pH of feed stream. It was also observed that $CO_2$ and antiscalant mutually function better for scale control.

Brackish water desalination using reverse osmosis(RO) membrane is more useful and economic than sea water to solve the shortage of fresh water supply because of its low total dissolved solid(TDS) contents. Silica and humic acid in brackish water make serious fouling problems and cause the decline of permeate flux and increase of operating pressure. In this study, the experiments for removal of silica and humic acid were conducted with calcite particles to prevent membrane fouling and investigated the effect of pH of feed water Adsorption of silica to calcite was higher at pH=7.5 than 9.5 and removal rate was increased according to increase of initial concentration of silica. The effect of pH on adsorption of humic acid was not significant but at low initial concentration the adsorption of humic acid was enhanced at pH 7.5. The result of this study expect to apply to brackish water desalination experiment of flat-sheet reverse osmosis membrane.

The effect of a solute concentration difference on the osmotic transport of water through the semi-permeable membrane of a simple cell model is investigated. So far, most studies on osmotic phenomena are described by simple diffusion-type equations ignoring all fluid motion or described by Stokes flow. In our work, as the governing equations, we consider the coupled full Navier-Stokes equations which describe the fluid motion and the full transport equation that takes into account of convection and diffusion effects. A two dimensional finite difference model has been developed to simulate the velocity field, concentration field, and semi-permeable membrane movement. It is shown that the cell swells to regions of lower solute concentration due to the uneven water flux through the semi-permeable membrane. The simulation is applied on a red blood cell geometry and the relevant results are presented.

It is well known that concrete is typical porous material. We pay attention to Hansen's idea that concrete may be expected to act as semi-permeable membrane, and report the effect of concentration of solution and temperature on water flux in forward osmosis. In order to measuring volume of water flux from distilled water to solution of sodium chloride through hardened cement paste, specially designed apparatus was constructed, and the following result were obtained: (1) hardened cement paste acts as semi-permeable membrane, consequently, water flux in forward osmosis may occur. (2) Rate of water flux is proportion to concentration of dilute solution, and this suggests hardened cement paste is agreeable to the theory of membrane. (3) Effect of temperature on water flux is agreeable to Arrehenius equation and is great.
