The surface of an ${\alpha}$-alumina tube was coated with zirconium modified polycarbosilane(PZC) by dip-coating method. Then the tube was pyrolyzed at 573~823 K. The prepared inorganic composite membrane was in $1{\mu}m$ thickness and had no pinholes larger than several nm. For the pyrolyzed inorganic composite membrane, the permeation test of He, $N_2$, $CO_2$, and $O_2$ was performed at 303~423 K. The gas permeation and separation factor were increased with increasing permeation temperature. The permeation for gases was controlled by the activated diffusion mechanism. The separation factor of $CO_2$, to $N_2$was 4.9 at 363 K on the composite membrane pyrolyzed at 823 K and its value was higher than that of He and $O_2$.

The effect of porous support layer resistance and PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) coating thickness on ethylene/nitrogen separation of composite membranes was studied with the model of Pinnau and Wijmans〔1〕. To control the support resistance (or permeance), PES porous membranes were prepared by phase inversion process with various PES/NMP dope concentrations. The thickness of selective PDMS top layer was controlled by using a spin coater. Its cross-section and coating thickness were observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Pure gas permeation test was done with ethylene and nitrogen, respectively. The experimental result for olefin/nitrogen separation process matched well with theoretical result from the model used. The result shows that optimization between PDMS coating thickness and support resistance is important to get PDMS composite membranes with best performance.

산소와 질소는 공업적으로 공기를 분리하여 생산하는데, 이 분리공정에는 심냉법 (cryogenic distillation), PSA법 (pressure swing adsorption) 그리고 분리막법 등이 사용되고 있다. 현재는 위의 세가지 공정중에서 PSA법이 가장 널리 채택되고 있는 공정이다. 그런데, 고분자막을 이용하는 분리공정은 설비투자면에서 뿐만 아니라 에너지 절약측면에서 큰 이점을 갖고 있기 때문에 최근 들어 점차 주목 받고 있다 [1]. 그러나, 고분자막에서의 기체의 투과도와 선택도는 서로 상반적인 관계 (trade-off)에 있기 때문에 공기중의 산소와 질소의 분리를 위해서는 기존의 고분자들에 비해 투과도와 선택도가 동시에 개선된 새로운 막 소재의 개발이 절실하므로 이에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다 [2].

In this study, hydrophilic coating characteristics of PVDF [poly(vinylidene fluoride)] hollow fiber membranes with flower type cross-section prepared by thermally induced phase separation were studied. The hollow fiber used in this study was provided from PureEnvitech Co. Ltd., and the hydrophilic coating experiment was performed with different concentration and number of coating of PEBAX 1657, 2533 and 3533 block copolymer solution using a dip coating method. The hydrophilic coated hollow fiber membrane was characterized to scanning microscope and contact angle measurements to determine the degree of hydrophilization. As a result of SEM characterization, it was confirmed that the thickness of the coating layer increased as the coating concentration increased and the number of coatings increased. Contact angle of surface of hollow fibers decreased as the concentration of the coating solution increased and the number of coatings increased. Gas permeance of oxygen gas was measured for the application of the hydrophilized hollow fiber to Membrane Areated Biofilm Reactor. As a result of gas permeation test, it was confirmed that gas permeance decreased with increasing coating concentration and number of coatings, and the more hydrophilized hollow fiber coated with PEBAX 1657 showed lower gas permeance than those coated with PEBAX 2533 and 3533.

In this study, we investigated the permeation property of single gases ($N_2$, $O_2$, $SF_6$, $CF_4$ through hollow fiber polymeric membrane (PSF, PC, PI) as a function of pressure and temperature to decide operating condition for $SF_6$ gas separation process. The results showed the gas permeation varied differentlydepending on the properties of gases and membrane. When permeance of each gases was represented as a function of temperature and pressure in 3 dimensional space, the surface of permeance was shown approximately flat. Thus, we established permeance models with forms of first-and second-order polynomial. These two models showed high goodness of fit. This indicates that the two polynomial models have enough applicability to predict the gas separation process.

국내 K-그룹 연구소에서 제조한 폴리설폰 중공사막의 산소/질소 혼합물에 대한 압력, stage , cut , 공급기체 혼합물의 조성에 따른 분리성능을 조사하였다. 본 실험의 압력범위와 온도 3$0^{\circ}C$에서의 이상분리인자 (O2/N2)는 5.7이었으며, 유입기체 혼합물의 21mole % 산소농도가 약 50 mole%로 농축되었다. 저압측과 고압측의 압력비는 산소농축에 미치는 영향이 적었으며 이상분리인자의 영향은 매우 컸다. 그러나, 이상분리인자가 증가함에 따라 이상분리인자의 영향은 둔화되었다. 따라서, 이상분리인자가 큰 신소재 개발과 더불어 공정변수의 최적화가 필요하다. 수학적 모델링에 의한 예측치와 실험치가 잘 맞았다.
