Abstract

A membrane contactor is a device that achieves liquid/liquid or gas/liquid mass transfer without dispersion of one phase within another. This is accomplished by passing the fluids on opposite sides of a microporous membrane. This approach offers a number of important advantages over conventional dispersed phase contactors, including absence of emulsions, no flooding at high flow rates, no unloading at low flow rates, and high interfacial area. This article provides a general review of membrane contactors, including operating principles and applications.

분리막 접촉기는 액체-액체, 기체-액체와 같이 두 개의 다른 상 사이에 막이 상계면 혹은 상 장벽의 역할을 수행하여 두 상간의 물질전달이 이루어지게 하는 장치이다 분리막 접촉기는 기체-액체 또는 액체-액체 간에 접촉을 통해 안정된 계면을 형성시켜줌으로써 인위적으로 물질전달속도 조절이 가능할 뿐만 아니라 접촉면적이 크고 기존 분리정제 공정의 운전 시 발생할 수 있는 유화(emulsion), 범람(flooding), 편류(channeling), 기포생성(foaming), 그리고 부하(unloading) 등과 같은 기술적 문제점을 보완할 수 있어 이에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 분리막 접촉기가 이용되는 공정과 분리막 접촉기에 사용되는 막의 제조방법, 국내외의 연구동향을 고찰하여 분리공정으로써의 분리막 접촉기에 관한 이해를 높이고자 한다.
