The objective of this study is to propose a mathematical model for a pervaporation process for concentrating hydrogen peroxide. The process was developed by NASA, which consists of a shell and membrane tubes, where a liquid hydrogen peroxide solution flows in the shell, and a sweep gas flows in the tubes countercurrent to each other. The liquid retentate is concentrated as more water molecules permeate and evaporate through the membrane than hydrogen peroxide. For this process, a mathematical model has been developed in the form of a system of nonlinear partial differential algebraic equations based on a sorption-diffusion mechanism for permeation, an Arrhenius relationship for the temperature dependency of the permeate flux, and mass and momentum balances for the liquid concentrations and flows in the membrane module. The dynamic behavior of the concentration of hydrogen peroxide in the retentate side has been simulated by solving a simplified version of the proposed model, and the result is compared with the experimental data reported in the NASA patent.

막에 의한 유기액체 혼합물을 분리 하는 방법으로 액/증기 계의 막투과 메카니즘으로 분리, 농축하는 투과증발법(Pervaporation)이 연구되어져 왔다. 이 방법은 공급상이 수용액, 투과상이 기체로써 상변화를 동반하는 과정이기 때문에 분리의 에너지 효율은 증류법에 비해 그다지 높게 기대 되지 않지만 공비점(azotropic point)을 가지는 혼합물이나 비점차가 적어 분해하기가 쉽고 증류법이 불가능한 혼합물의 분리에 많이 쓰여져 왔다. 그러나, 이 방법을 실용화 시키기 위해서는 분리계수 및 투과속도가 큰 막이 필요로 하며 현재 그 연구 개발에 박차를 가하고 있다. 본 강의는 무기재질을 가지는 다공성막을 사용하여 투과증발 분리법에 대한 최근의 연구 동향에 대해서 간략하게 서술하고자 한다.

TEvaporator is key component in food, seawater distillation and waste water treatment system, which is basically to concentrate the raw liquid by evaporating the pure water under vacuum condition. The liquid concentration is performed through the membrane, electro-dialysis and evaporation. In this study, only the evaporating type was treated for evaluating the economic analysis with the various operating conditions. The results of this study showed that the performance of the OT-MSF desalination system is increased with decreasing the temperature difference between the neighboring evaporators, which means that the number of evaporators is increased, under the determined design conditions.

The purpose of this study is to develop a process technology to produce high hardness concentrated seawater removing chloride ions but containing useful minerals such as magnesium and calcium in the seawater desalination process. In order to make high hardness concentrated seawater, evaporation system is mostly used recently. Because evaporation system requires a large amount of energy consumption, in this study, it was aimed to produce high hardness concentrated seawater using membrane filtration requiring less energy. Nano filtration membranes were used for the experiments, and different types of high hardness concentrated seawater was produced depending on the membranes' specification, the number of times being concentrated, and pressure. As a result, at between 15bar and 20 bar in pressure, in between the second and the third times of concentration, the experiment result showed the best economic efficiency. By the experiment, production of high hardness concentrated seawater seemed to have a good economic feasibility.

In this study, an analysis was performed on an evaporative steam generator (concentrator), where natural circulation convective boiling occurs on tube-side by condensing hot steam on shell-side. Existing correlations on two-phase pressure drop, boiling or condensation heat transfer were used for the analysis. The effect of number of tubes, tube length, etc. on thermal performance was investigated. Simulation results reveal that steam generation rate increases almost proportionally to the tube length, or number of tubes. It is also shown that water circulation rate decreases as tube length increases.

투과증발법은 증류법에 비해 에너지 소비가 더 적기 때문에 공업적인 응용 측면에서 유용한 분리공정이다. 대부분의 투과증발법에 대한 연구는 공비혼합물, 비점이 서로 비슷한 혼합물, 이성질체증을 분리, 특히 물과 에탄올과의 공비혼합물의 분리와 물로부터 희박 방향족 화합물을 회수하는데 행해져 왔다. 친수성막은 유기용매의 탈수에 사용되어져 왔고 반면에 소수성막은 유기수용액으로 부터 유기물을 분리하는데 사용되어져 왔다. 천연소재인 키토산은 친수성기들을 가지고 있기에 물과 에탄올의 분리에서 물을 선택적으로 투과시켜 효과적인 투과증발막으로 사용될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 키토산을 복합막화하여 실제 상업화에 적합한 선택도와 투과유량을 가진 투과증발막으로 개발하고자 하였다. 도한 키토산 복합막의 물에 의한 팽윤현상을 제어하기 위해 두가지 가교방법으로 글루타르알데히드 가교를 설치하였으며, 이에 따른 투과성능의 영향을 평가하였다.

The granulation equipment of concentrated wastes is manufactured for the polymer solidification of concentrated wastes. It uses liquid sodium silicate as a granulating agent for the granulating of dried powder containing boric acid. The granulating agent is sprayed in the form of droplet and mean size of dried granules is $2{\sim}4mm$. The new technology which has been used for the polymer solidification of spent resin in U.S. and certified by Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is successfully applied to concentrated wastes. This uses in-situ solidification process within drum without mechanical mixing. Maximum loading of waste can be achieved without increasing of waste volume. Polymer waste forms were evaluated with several test such as fire test, compressive strength test, leaching test, immersion test, irradiation test, and thermal cycling test according to standard test procedures.
