Abstract

Various kind of solutions need to be separated, purified, and concentrated using membranes in the field of industries. However, when the solution contains strong acids, the use of membrane is limited. Acid resistant membrane currently available in market does not show high efficiency of flux. This review explains the causes and mechanisms of changes in surface properties and performance of polyamide membranes when exposed to acidic solutions, and this can be used in the development of a membrane with acid resistance and high flux.

산업분야에서는 다양한 용액을 대상으로 분리, 정제, 농축 등의 공정이 필요하며, 분리막이 그 역할을 잘 수행해 오고 있다. 반면, 처리 대상 용액이 강산을 함유하고 있는 경우, 대부분의 분리막은 산에 취약하기 때문에 사용이 제한적일 수밖에 없다. 현재 내산성 분리막으로 상용화 되고 있는 분리막은 투과속도가 낮은 문제점을 갖고 있다. 이에, 투과속도가 높은 폴리아마이드 분리막에 내산성을 부여하기 위한 접근 방법을 모색하기 위한 기초 자료로 본 총설에서는 폴리아마이드 분리막이 산성 용액 노출 시 표면성질 및 투과특성이 변화하는 원인과 기작에 대해 살펴보고자 한다.
