Abstract

In this study, we developed simple process for ethanol concentration. We developed magnetically separable polyanilline nanofiber (PAMP) for selective ethanol adsorption. PAMP can adsorbed 80% of ethanol in the solution. After adsorption, the ethanol was recovered with simple magnetic separation and centrifugation process. After 10 times recycle of PAMP, the ethanol adsorption maintained 92% of its initial adsorption capacity. Using ethanol concentration process, the ethanol concentration increased up to 197.6 g/L from 46 g/L which was 4.3 folds increase.

본 연구에서는 자석으로 분리가 가능한 polyaniline nanofiber (PAMP)를 개발하여 선택적인 에탄올 흡착 및 탈착공정을 활용하여 에탄올을 농축하였다. 개발된 PAMP는 용액 중에 있는 에탄올을 80%이상 흡착하였다. 자석을 활용하여 PAMP에 흡착된 에탄올의 회수가 가능하였으며, 물리적인 힘을 통하여 에탄올 탈착이 가능하여 에탄올의 회수가 용이하였다. 본 연구에 개발된 PAMP는 지속적인 재활용이 가능하였다. 본 연구에서 PAMP를 10회 반복 사용하였을 때 PAMP의 에탄올 흡착율은 최초 사용한 경우의 92%를 유지하여 PAMP를 지속적으로 활용할 수 가능성을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 PAMP를 사용하여 46 g/L의 저농도 에탄올을 197.6 g/L의 고농도 에탄올로 농축이 가능하였다.
