Abstract

In the treatment of the wastewater containing metals($Cu^{2+}$, $Zn^{2+}$, $Ni^{2+}$, $Cr^{3+}$) by using batch precipitation and flocculation followed by membrane filtration, permeate flux and removal efficiency were investigated according to by the effect of pH and coagulants, and the type of membranes used and pore size. It was found that it is most effective to use $0.45{\mu}m$-polysulfone membrane and coagulant(PAC) at the conditions of the pH of 10.0~10.5 for the case of copper containing wastewater, $0.1{\mu}m$-PVDF membrane and coagulant(PAC) at the conditions of the pH of 10.0~10.5 for the case of zinc containing wastewater, $0.1{\mu}m$-PVDF membrane and coagulant at the conditions of the pH of 11.0~11.5 for the case of nickel containing wastewater, $0.2{\mu}m$ membrane and coagulant at the conditions of the pH of 8.0~8.5 for the case of chromic containing wastewater, and $0.2{\mu}m{\sim}0.45{\mu}m$ membrane and coagulant at the conditions of the pH of 11.0~11.5 for the case mixture wastewater. The permeate flux could higher as to be used coagulants except for the case of copper containing wastewater.

중금속($Cu^{2+}$, $Zn^{2+}$, $Ni^{2+}$, $Cr^{3+}$)을 함유한 폐수가 최적운전압력과 운전시간에서 침전-응집-정밀여과의 공정으로 처리되었을 때, pH 및 응집제의 영향 그리고 막 종류 및 세공크기에 따른 투과유속과 제거효율이 조사되었다. 구리폐수의 경우는 pH10.0~10.5에서 $0.45{\mu}m$-polysulfone막과 PAC을, 아연폐수의 경우는 pH10.0~10.5에서 $0.1{\mu}m$-PVDF막과 PAC을, 니켈의 경우는 pH11.0~11.5에서 $0.1{\mu}m$-PVDF막과 응집제를, 크롬의 경우는 pH8.0~8.5에서 $0.2{\mu}m$막과 응집제를, 그리고 혼합폐수의 경우는 pH11.0~11.5에서 $0.2{\sim}0.45{\mu}m$막과 응집제를 사용하여 처리하였을 때, 처리효율이 가장 높았다. 투과유속은 구리폐수를 제외하고는 대부분 응집제 사용으로 더 높게 향상시킬 수 있었다.
