Abstract

Government efforts on membrane technology started in early 1980 with Membrane Development Program supported by the Ministry of Science and Technology. Several independent research projects on liquid separation, gas separation, hollow fiber producing program etc. were carried out during the 1980s. The RaCER was commissioned by MOCI for the general management of the project which had its aims in establishing the base for developing membranes, modules and systems for liquid separation in August 1993. More recently, in June 1995, a program for developing membranes for oxygen separation, nitrogen separation and hydrogen separation was initiated. This paper outlines the brief history of membrane technology development in Korea from the introduction of membrane filtration technology during the late 1960s to present.
