Abstract

The effect of water back-flushing period (filtration time, FT) was investigated in hybrid process of alumina microfiltration and photocatalyst for advanced drinking water treatment in this study, and compared with the previous studies with carbon microfiltration or alumina ultrafiltration membranes. The FT was changed in the range of 2~10 min with fixed 10 sec of BT. Then, the FT effects on resistance of membrane fouling ($R_f$), permeate flux (J) and total permeate volume ($V_T$) were observed during total filtration time of 180 min. As decreasing FT, $R_f$ decreased and J increased as decreasing FT, which was same with the previous results with carbon microfiltration or alumina ultrafiltration membranes. The treatment efficiency of turbidity was high beyond 98.1%, and the effect of FT was not shown on treatment efficiency of turbidity, which was same with the previous result of carbon microfiltration. The treatment efficiency of organic matters was the highest value of 89.6 % at FT 8 min, which was a little higher than those of the previous results, and the effect of FT was not shown on treatment efficiency of organic matters.

본 연구에서는 정수처리용 알루미나 정밀여과 및 광촉매의 혼성공정에서 물역세척 주기(filtration time, FT) 변화의 영향을 알아보고, 탄소 정밀여과막 또는 알루미나 한외여과막을 사용한 기존 결과들과 비교하였다. 물역세척 시간(BT)는 10초로 고정한 채, FT를 2~10분으로 변화시키면서, 그 영향을 180분 운전 후 막 오염에 의한 저항($R_f$), 투과선속(J)과 총여과부피($V_T$) 측면에서 고찰하였다. FT가 감소할수록, $R_f$는 감소하고 J는 증가하여 탄소 정밀여과막 또는 알루미나 한외여과막을 사용한 기존 결과들과 동일하였다. 탁도의 처리효율은 98.1% 이상으로 높게 나타났으며, FT 변화에 의한 영향이 보이지 않아 탄소 정밀여과막을 사용한 기존의 결과와 유사하였다. 한편, 유기물의 처리효율은 FT 8분 조건에서 89.6%로 가장 높았으며, FT 변화의 영향이 보이지 않았고 기존의 결과들보다 다소 높은 유기물 제거율을 보였다.
