Abstract
In this study the formation of the particle layer near the membrane surface was observed for the crossflow micro filtration module by the high speed video system. The microfiltration membrane of 0.2 {\mu}m$ nominal pore size and the 0.05 wt% solution of the polyacryl-copolymer particle distributed between 100 and 180 {\mu}m$ were used for the experiment. The feed rates were changed to 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25 and 1.5 cm/sec while the permeate rates were maintained at $20{\pm}3%$ of the feed rates, respectively, It was observed that the particles were accumulated rapidly on the membrane surface as the feed flow rate increased, but the particles were not accumulated at 0.5 cm/sec, Also, it was confirmed that almost all of the particles in the layer already formed during filtration were removed within 30 seconds as the feed flow rate increased to 1.88 cm/sec.
본 실험에서는 십자형 흐름 정밀여과 모듈에서 분리막 투과시 막표면에 일어나는 입자층의 형성을 고속비디오 시스템으로 관찰하였다. 공칭세공이 0.2 {\mu}m$ 정밀여과막과 기공크기보다 휠씬 큰 100 내지 180{\mu}m$ 크기의 polyacryl-copolymer 0.05 wt%의 농도 용액을 제조하여 투과실험에서는 공급유속을 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25 그리고 1.5 cm/sec으로 변화시키면서 공급유속의 $20{\pm}3%$로 투과유량을 유지하였다. 공급유량이 증가할수록 입자가 보다 신속히 분리막 표면에 축적되는 것을 관찰할 수 있었고 공급유량이 낮은 0.5 cm/sec 에서는 입자층이 형성되지 않았다. 또한 입자층 형성 후 공급 유속을 1.88 cm/sec로 증가시키면 30초이내에 분리막 표면에 입자들이 대부분 제거됨을 확인하였다.
