Abstract

The integrally skinned asymmetric PAN ultrafiltration membranes were annealed for reducing the pore size. The effect of the chemical structure of two PAN polymers (homo- and copolymer) on annealing was investigated. The annealing of PAN polymer was strongly affected by the chemical structure of the polymer. In other words, the annealing effect of the copolymer was much larger than that of the homopolymer due to its less rigid structure of the main chain. Before annealing, the membranes were usually preheated in water in terms of the complete removal of remained solvents in the membranes. The annealing effect was bigger when no preheating. However, the preheating of the membrane before annealing at high temperatures leads to an increase in the pore size of membranes. The surface of the membranes was slightly negative and the salt rejection of PAN nanofiltration membrane was in the following order: R(Na₂SO₄) > R(NaCl) > R(MgSO₄) > R(CaCl₂). This salt rejection behavior could be explained by the Donnan equilibrium and the electroneutrality.

통합형 비대칭 폴리아크릴로니트릴(PAN) 한외여과막의 기공크기를 줄이기 위하여 아닐링을 하였다. 두 종류 PAN 고분자(단일중합체와 공중합체)의 화학적 구조가 아닐링에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. PAN 고분자의 아닐링은 고분자의 화학적 구조에 큰 영향을 받는다. 공중합체가 단일중합체에 비해서 덜 강직한 구조를 지니므로 아닐링에 훨씬 큰 영향을 받는다. 아닐링을 실시하기 전에 고분자 내에 잔존하는 용매의 완벽한 제거를 위하여 분리막을 물 속에서 예열 처리하였다. 예열처리를 하지 않은 경우가 아닐링 효과가 더 컸다. 높은 온도에서 아닐링 하기 전에 예열을 하면 기공크기의 증가를 가져 왔다. 막의 표면은 약간 음전하를 띠었고 PAN 나노막의 염배제율은 다음과 같은 순서로 측정되었다: R(Na₂SO₄) > R(NaCl) > R(MgSO₄) > R(CaCl₂). Donnan 평형과 전기중성도에 의해서 염제거 거동을 설명하였다.
