Various kinds of micro organic pollutants have frequently been detected from a water system. Therefore, it is considered to be very important part in the drinking water treatment system. And the research about removal process and processing efficiency have been being conducted briskly. In this study, the removal efficiency was evaluated using advanced water treatment process and nanofiltration process. The removal efficiency of nanofiltration process was very different according to physical and chemical characteristics of materials. The molecular weight of cutoff was the most influential factor in the removal efficiency. And when pKa value was higher than pH of raw water or Log Kow value was below 2, the removal efficiency of material was decreased. In case of oxidation reaction, the bigger the molecular weight of material was and the more hydrophobic a material was, the less oxidation reaction occurred. And the removal efficiency was decreased. Most unoxidized materials were removed by absorption. And the more actively oxidation reaction occurred by $H_2O_2$, the more absorption reaction increased.

본 연구의 목적은 DTP 폐수를 나노여과막으로 여과하여 처리하는 공정에서 발생하는 농축수를 처리하는 공정의 개발에 있다. 특히 DTP 장치의 특성상 발생 폐수를 별도의 폐수처리장으로 수집, 이동 하지 않고 현장에서 처리하는 소규모 패키지 시스템을 개발하고자 하였다. 아런 목표를 달성하기 위해 효율적인 여과공정인 나노여과를 적용하였고, 이 때 발생하는 농축수는 오존이나 과산화수소와 같은 산화제를 이용하여 일부 처리하고 나머지는 감압농축 및 감량화를 농한 농축수 관리 방안을 연구 하였다.

The combined impact of Dissolved Organic Matter (DOM) fouling and inorganic ($CaSO_4,Ca_3(PO_4)_2$) scaling on the retention of TNT (2, 4, 6-Trinitrotoluene), RDX (Hexahydro-1, 3, 5-trinitro-1, 3, 5-triazine) and HMX (1, 3, 5, 7-Tetranitro-1, 3, 5, 7-tetrazocane) explosive contaminants by nano-filtration membrane were studied, since organic fouling and salt scaling are the major limitations for membrane filtration. Results reported here indicate that DOM fouling layer with a humic acid does not necessarily lead to an immediate loss of permeate flux but can result in a severe impact on the flux loss when both humic acid and inorganic scaltants were presented simultaneously. The $Ca_3(PO_4)_2$ mixed with humic acid showd most sever flux loss (42%) compared to that of only humic acid presence (8%). It could be a result that the scaling formation of the NF membrane was dominated by cake layer formation of DOM and it was along with pore blocking by the formation of crystals inside the porous active matrix of the NF membrane. In addition, these results indicated that the membrane selectivity of the explosives retention trended correlated with respect to increasing explosives size (listed by MW) based on greater steric interactions and followed the order (MW, g $mol^{-1}$; removal, %): HMX (296.15; 83%) ${\gg}$ RDX (222.12; 49%) ≋ TNT (227.13; 32%). Because the scaling and fouling layer could lead to a additional cake-enhanced concentration polarisation effect, the retention of explosives with the presence of humic acid in the feed solution and inorganic scaling formation on top of an organic fouling layer do not differ substantially retention from that of pure DI feed and NaCl solution.

The equipment for fabricating the large-area PTFE nanofiber coated-PTFE foam filter for use as filtration parts of the baghouse that removes particulate matter (PM) in industrial sites was designed and manufactured in this study. The PTFE nanofiber was coated on a commercial PTFE foam filter to increase its PM collection efficiency. The equipment and fabrication processes using a roll-to-roll system were proposed to continuously coat PTFE nanofibers on the surface of the PTFE foam filter. The electrospinning and annealing parts were designed and made by optimizing the equipment for the roll-to-roll system. The surface morphology, composition, and filtration characteristics of the large-area filter fabricated by this equipment were confirmed. PTFE nanofibers were uniformly coated on the large-area filter, and the PTFE nanofiber coated-PTFE foam filter showed PM_2.5 collection efficiency of 91.79% and an appropriate pressure drop of 62 Pa with a face velocity of 1 m/min at 280 ℃.

Membrane process was investigated to recover useful components, such as protein from rice-washing water generated in the production of the washed-rice. The filtration experiments were carried out using not only a dead-end Amicon cell to determine suitable membranes but also a hollow fiber ultrafiltration, spiral wound nanofiltration and reverse osmosis modules for home water purification. Ultrafiltration module(molecular weight cut-off : 10,000 dalton) was not suitable for recovery of useful components or protein in the rice-washing water, but nanofiltration and reverse osmosis modules showed a good performance. in the case of 250% concentration of the rice-washing water contained about 9% protein the proteins in concentrates of nanofiltration and reverse osmosis were 18% and 22%, which were about 2 and 2.4 times higher protein concentrations than those of feed, respectively.

The objective of this study was to assess the assimilable organic carbon (AOC) in processing water, a measurement of biostability, at several stages of a full-scale nanofiltration (NF) water treatment plant. The NF membrane plant investigated was a $45,400\;m^3$/day (12 mgd) water softening facility at Plantation City in southern Florida, which utilized an organic rich groundwater (dissolved organic carbon (DOC) = 17.6 mg/L) originated from a surficial aquifer. The average AOC concentration of raw feed water was estimated at 158 g/L acetate-C. After pretreatment(acid and antiscalant addition), AOC levels increased by 12.7%, suggesting that pretreatment chemicals used to control scaling may deteriorate feed water biostability. The results also demonstrated that nanofiltration was capable of effectively removing 63.4% of AOC and 94.8% of DOC from the raw water. AOC rejection in stage 1 (${\approx}\;68%$) was slightly higher than that of stage 2 (${\approx}\;58%$) indicating that AOC was removed less at the solution environment (i.e. low pH, high ionic strength and high hardness), which was often created in the $2^{nd}$ stage of full-scale membrane plants due to pretreatment (acid addition) and high recovery operation.

원수 중의 오염물의 양과 종류가 급격히 증가함에 따라 기존의 정수방법은 점차 그 한계를 노출하고 있다. 이러한 문제점의 대안으로 최근 막분리기술을 도입한 고도정수처리공정이 주목되고 있다. 역삼투(reverse osmosis)와 나노여과(nanofiltration)등의 분리막을 이용한 정수처리 공정에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되어 왔으나, 경제성이 보다 큰 한외여과(ultrafiltration, UF)와 부날활성탄(powdered activated carbon, PAC)의 결합 시스템의 도입이 연구되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 PAC-UF 시스템의 유입수에 배경물질(background organic matters, BOM)을 포함한 이성분계에서 미량유기물의 경쟁적 흡착 거동을 고찰하였다.

In fermentation-separation processes, nanofiltration membrane processes can be used to separate organic acid and other byproducts such as sugars and proteins. In this study, new nanofiltration membranes were prepared to improve organic acid permeability during the separation processes of fermentation broth. Positively charged nanofiltration membrane was introduced to reduce lactic acid rejection by electrostatic attraction between lactic acid and nanofiltration membrane. Newly fabricated nanofiltration membranes were prepared by grafting cationic polyelectrolyte, PEI, on membrane surface. Thenanofiltration membranes showed positively charged surface potential. As a result, lactic acid rejection was remarkably reduced while the rejection of glucose was not changed significantly.

인공함양은 대수층함양관리 중 하나의 기법이며 하수처리장 방류수의 영향을 직·간접적으로 받은 물을 지하대수층에 함양하여 수질의 향상을 기대할 수 있다. 그러나 방류수의 영향으로 인해 다수의 미량유해물질들이 대수층으로 유입됨에 따라 함양 후 회수할 때 이들의 검출이 빈번해졌다. 이에 따라 이 미량유해물질의 제거를 위해 인공함양의 후속 공정으로 나노막 여과를 고려하여 인공함양과 나노막 공정을 통하여 미량유해물질의 거동을 파악하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 인공함양 지하저수지 모사 컬럼을 설계하여 실험하였다. 서울특별시 탄천 하류에서 샘플링한 물을 원수로 사용하였으며 인공함양에 앞서 염소, 과망간산염, 오존의 3종류 산화 전처리를 통하여 그 영향을 확인하고자 하였다. 함양기간은 2.5일이었으며 함양 후 나노막 장치를 통하여 최종 유출수를 획득하였다. 인공함양 결과 용존유기물은 45%~63% 수준에서 제거가 되어 인공함양시 용존유기물의 제거가 가능함을 확인하였다. 산화 전처리에 따른 동화가능유기탄소의 증가로 인하여 생분해가 주요 기작인 인공함양 처리를 통하여 동화가능유기탄소의 제거율이 유기용존탄소의 제거율에 직접적으로 영향을 주었음을 알 수 있었다. 미량유해물질로 알려진 과불화화합물의 경우 산화 전처리에 따른 제거는 관찰되지 않았으며 잔류의약물질의 경우 대상 물질의 물리·화학적 특성에 따라 산화시 제거가 가능함을 확인하였다. Iopromide와 같은 조영제의 경우 오존 산화를 통하여 98% 이상 제거되어 산화를 통한 제거가 가능함을 확인하였다. 인공함양시 과불화화합물은 분자량이 큰 PFNA, PFDA, PFOS 등이 제거되었으며 그 제거율은 각각 최대 >99%까지 도달하였다. 분자량이 작은 과불화화합물의 경우 인공함양을 통과하는 경향을 보였다. 잔류의약물질의 경우 생분해가 용이한 물질은 제거가 됨을 확인하였으며 carbamazepine 등 제거가 안 되는 물질은 제거율이 18% 미만으로 확인하였다. 나노막 여과 결과 과불화화합물이 최대 >99%까지 제거됨을 확인하였으며 미량유해물질의 경우에도 대부분의 물질이 제거됨을 확인하였다.
