Abstract

A novel multi-valent salt based on polyethyleneimine having molecular weight of 800 (PEI 800) has been synthesized and characterized as forward osmosis draws solute. A reaction intermediate was synthesized by the neutralization reaction of polyethyleneimine and methyl acrylate, and was hydrolyzed with potassium hydroxide to synthesize a water soluble carboxylic acid (potassium salt) polyethyleneimine. NMR spectrometry, viscometry measurements and osmometry measurements was performed to characterize the draw solute. Forward osmosis experiments were done to know whether the solute could be used as a draw solute or not. The result shows comparable water flux and lower reverse salt flux compared with NaCl as a draw solute. We have also demonstrated recycling of the draw solute in the FO-NF integrated process.

폴리에틸렌이민(분자량 800)에 다가이온을 갖는 정삼투용 새로운 유도용질을 합성하고 특성을 분석하였다. 폴리에틸렌이민과 메틸 아크릴레이트의 중화반응으로 중간체를 합성하고, KOH로 가수분해하여 수용성의 카복실산 금속염 형태의 폴리에틸렌이민을 합성하였다. NMR, 점도, 삼투압을 측정하여 유도용질의 특성을 평가하였다. 그 염이 유도용질로서 사용할 수 있는지의 여부를 정삼투 실험을 통하여 알아보았다. 유도용질로서 수투과도와 역염 투과도를 측정하여 NaCl과 비교하였다. 정삼투와 나노여과의 혼성공정을 통하여 유도용질의 회수가능성을 보였다.
