The deficiency of clean water is a major global concern because all the living creatures rely on the drinkable water for survival. On top of this, abundant of clean water supply is also necessary for household, metropolitan inhabitants, industry, and agriculture. Among many purification processes, advances in low-energy membrane separation technology appear to be the most effective solution for water crisis because membranes have been widely recognized as one of the most direct and feasible approaches for clean water production. The aim of this article is to give an overview of (1) two new emerging membrane technologies for water reuse and desalination by forward osmosis (FO) and membrane distillation (MD), and (2) the molecular engineering and development of highly permeable hollow fiber membranes, with polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and polybenzimidazole (PBI) as the main focuses for the aforementioned applications in National University of Singapore (NUS). This article presents the main results of membrane module design, separation performance, membrane characteristics, chemical modification and spinning conditions to produce novel hollow fiber membranes for FO and MD applications. As two potential solutions, MD and FO may be synergistically combined to form a hybrid system as a sustainable alternative technology for fresh water production.

본 연구에서는 polyketone (PK)을 이용하여 전기방사 조건에 따른 섬유 형상의 특성 변화와 유수분리 가능성을 확인해 보았다. 고습과 저습 조건에서는 마이크론 직경의 섬유가 형성되었으며, 특히 고습에서는 섬유의 표면이 거칠게 변한 것이 확인되었다. 섬유 직경을 micro에서 nano로 변경하기 위하여 방사용액에 염을 추가하였으며, 그 결과 섬유 직경이 약 90% 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 제조된 rPK-LNC와 PK-H로 유수분리 특성을 확인하기 위해 oil/water 에멀션으로 중력 조건에서 유수분리를 진행하였으며 total organic carbon (TOC)와 탁도를 측정하여 특성을 분석하였다. 제거율 확인결과 탁도가 TOC와 동일한 경향성을 나타내는 것이 확인되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 고분자의 방사조건과 염의 유무에 따른 분리막의 섬유 형상과 물리적 특성변화와 이를 이용한 유수분리 특성에 대해 연구하였다.

The potential of using the roof water tanks as a mitigation measure to minimize the required separation gap and induced pounding forces due to collisions is investigated. The investigation is carried out using nonlinear dynamic analysis for two adjacent 3-story buildings with different dynamic characteristics under two real earthquake motions. For such analysis, nonlinear viscoelastic model is used to simulate forces due to impact. The sloshing force due to water movement is modelled in terms of width of the water tank and the instantaneous wave heights at the end wall. The effect of roof water tanks on the story's responses, separation gap, and magnitude and number of induced pounding forces are investigated. The influence of structural stiffness and storey mass are investigated as well. It is found that pounding causes instantaneous acceleration pulses in the colliding buildings, but the existence of roof water tanks eliminates such acceleration pulses. At the same time the water tanks effectively reduce the number of collisions as well as the magnitude of the induced impact forces. Moreover, buildings without constructed water tanks require wider separation gap to prevent pounding as compared to those with water tanks attached to top floor under seismic excitations.

정유소와 석유 공장에서 발생하는 폐수는 심각한 환경오염으로 이어진다. 기름이 있는 물을 정수 처리하는 데에는 많은 방법이 존재하지만, 가장 효과적인 방법은 막을 이용한 기술이다. 물에서 기름기를 제거하는 데 사용되는 유기재료로 만들어진 고분자 막은 파울링이라는 고질적인 문제를 가지고 있다. 무기성 막은 수명이 길다는 점에서 유기성 분리막보다 효율적이다. 제올라이트 막은 우수한 화학적 안정성을 갖고 있으며 오랜 기간 재활용할 수 있다. 막에서 친수성의 존재는 막의 수 투과량을 증가시킨다. 제올라이트로 만들어진 세라믹 분리막은 물과 기름을 분리하는 데 사용되는 효율적인 무기막 중 하나이다. 본 리뷰논문은 i) 순수 제올라이트 막과 ii) 다른 물질과 혼합된 제올라이트 복합막, 2가지로 분류되는 제올라이트 기반의 무기막을 사용하는 물과 기름 분리 기술을 중점으로 다루고 있다.

The series of experiments under the various conditions were carried out to evaluate the feasibility of dissolved air flotation (DAF) as an alternative of conventional gravity sedimentation (CGS) and to investigate the decrease of the loadings following to biological wastewater treatment processes in livestock wastewater system. On the basis of the experiment result between CGS and DAF processes, for the other water quality criteria as well as suspended solid the removal efficiency of DAF process was about 20~25 % better than CGS process on average. In addition, the particle removal efficiency of DAF process became higher in proportion as the increase of air to solid (A/S) ratio and the general wastewater treatment efficiency of DAF process was enough to meet the requirement of loading decrease to following biological process even at low A/S ratio range. Though DAF process is widely known as an solid separation unit, there was not the notable relationship between particle separation efficiency and several pollutant removal efficiencies like $COD_{Cr}$ and nutrients (T-N, T-P). Assume that the $COD_{Cr}$ was removed as the fraction of particle separation in this experiment, the removal efficiency of T-N and T-P were sensitive to removal efficiency of $COD_{Cr}$, especially.

In this study we have evaluated the separation characteristics and concentration of sericin using tubular type ultrafiltration membrane in silk degumming solution that extracted from electrolytic reduction water process. Ultrafiltration membranes have used in sericin separation performance and the separation characteristics of membrane satisfied typical Hagen-Poiseuille equation. It had the increase of flux according to the increase of feed pressure and temperature in occasion of pure water flux. And also the flux and solute rejection had about $25{\sim}60{\ell}/m^2{\cdot}h$ and more than 95% in sericin feed solution with concentration 1.00~1.89% at feed pressure force of $3{\sim}8kgf/cm^2$ respectively. In addition, the separation performance of tubular type ultrafiltration membrane for silk degumming solution was very steady-state with long experiment time.

Hydrocyclone has been widely used for the solid-Liquid separation in many industrial sites because of its comparatively preferable applications that can be applied to wide-range panicle sizes. If seawater with impurities flows through pumps or heat exchanger, it might cause an decrease in efficiency of cooling system. In this paper, we have suggested solid methods of separating impurities from seawater in the cooling system by using a Hydrocyclone. The effects of design factors as solid concentration, cyclone inlet pressure, flow rate and diameter of underflow on the seperating performance of the Hydrocyclone were investigated. The results from the study are summarized as follows: 1) In proportion to the increase of solid concentration, the efficiency of solid-liquid separation is improved. 2) According as the cyclone inlet pressure increases the efficiency of separation is improved. Conclusively, this research suggested that the Hydrocyclone will be used as a pre-treatment system of cooling water in ships, and eventually prevent unexpected accidents in engine systems.

에틸아세테이트를 생산하는 에스테르화 공정에서 부산물로 생성되는 물을 NaY 제올라이트 분리막 투과증발을 이용하여 선택적으로 분리하고자 하였다. 에스테르 반응 분리 공정에서 나타날 수 있는 이성분계 혼합물 및 삼성분계 혼합물로부터 물을 분리하였으며 공급되는 유기물의 농도 및 투과증발 실험 온도의 변화가 투과플럭스와 물 선택도에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 물/에틸아세테이트 혼합물의 투과증발 결과 실험 농도 및 온도에 따라 NaY 제올라이트 분리막은 $930-5,000g/m^2/hr$의 총투과플럭스와 3,700-8,000의 물 선택도를 나타내었다. 물/에탄올/에틸아세테이트 삼중공비물의 경우 $1,300-3,900g/m^2/hr$의 총투과플럭스와 530-1,600의 물 선택도를 나타내었다. 본 연구를 통하여 합성된 NaY 제올라이트 분리막은 물에 대해 매우 높은 선택도와 투과플럭스를 나타내므로 에스테르화 반응 공정에 분리막 투과증발 공정을 적용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This study aims to separate hydrograph into baseflow and event water to calculate baseflow rate during a rainfall in small catchments, Yuseong, Daejeon, The hydrograph of stream during a period with no excess rainfall will decay. The discharge is composed entirely of groundwater contributions. During the period, the Cl concentration of the stream water can be regarded as being in equilibrium with that of the groundwater. Using Cl as a conservative tracer, two-component hydrograph separations were performed from end point of the period to next end point. The required data were obtained by monitoring of the surface water table, along with discharge rate of stream. Cl concentration of rainfall, surface water were measured and recorded. Hydrograph separation, a mixing model using chemical tracer is applied to chemical hydrograph separation technique. These results show that baseflow rates are 31.6% of rainfall in the catchments during study period.
