Abstract

The ceramic microfiltration system with periodic $N_2$-back-flushing was operated for treating paper wastewater discharged from a company making toilet papers by recycling milk or juice cartons. Two kinds of alumina membranes with 7 channels used here for recycling paper wastewater. The optimal filtration time interval for HC04 membrane with $0.4{\mu}m$ pore size was lower value of 4 min than 16 min for HC10 with $1.0{\mu}m$ pore size at fixed back-flushing time 40 sec, trans-membrane pressure $1.0kg_f/cm^2$ and back-flushing pressure $5.0kg_f/cm^2$. From the results of TMP effect at fixed filtration time interval and back-flushing time, the lower TMP was better on membrane fouling because high TMP could make easily membrane cake and fouling inside membrane structure. However, we could acquire the highest volume of total permeate at the highest TMP for the reason that TMP was driving force in our filtration system to treat paper wastewater. Then the permeate water of low turbidity was acquired in our microfiltration system using multi channels ceramic membranes, and the treated water could be reused in paper process.

우유 또는 주스 종이용기를 재활용하여 화장지를 생산하고 있는 제지회사에서 배출되는 제지폐수를 대상으로 주기적 질소 역세척이 가능한 세라믹 정밀여과 시스템을 운전하였다. 제지폐수 재활용을 위해 본 연구에서 7개의 채널이 있는 2 종류의 알루미나 분리막이 사용되었다. 질소 역세척 시간을 40초, 막간압력차 $1.0kg_f/cm^2$, 역세척 압력 $5.0kg_f/cm^2$로 고정하였을 때 $0.4{\mu}m$의 평균기공 크기를 갖고 있는 HC04 알루미나 분리막의 최적 여과시간 간격은 4분으로 $1.0{\mu}m$의 평균기공인 HV10 분리막의 16분보다 짧았다. 여과시간 간격과 역세척 시간을 고정한 상태에서 막간압력차(TMP)의 영향을 살펴본 결과, 높은 TMP 조건에서는 쉽게 막표면에 케이크가 형성되고 막 내부 구조에도 막오염이 발생하기 때문에 낮은 TMP 조건이 막오염 제어에 유리한 것을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 TMP는 폐수처리 여과 시스템에서 구동력이기 때문에, 가장 높은 TMP 조건에서 가장 많은 총여과부피를 얻을 수 있었다. 한편, 다채널 세라믹 분리막을 사용한 정밀여과시스템에서 얻은 투과수는 탁도가 낮기 때문에 제지공정에서 재활용 될 수 있다.
