Effects of non-cleaning and cleaning fluxes on the wetting properties and defects at flow soldered joints were investigated. Non-cleaning flux (R-type of 3.3% solid content) and cleaning flux (RMA-type of 15% solid content) were used. Wetting test was accomplished by wetting balance method with changing surface state of wetting specimen, CU. Sn-37%Pb solder was used for wetting test and flow soldering. As experimental results, the wetting time for vertical force from the surface tension being zero was mainly affected by surface state of the wetting specimen. Non-cleaning flux had a good wettability compared with cleaning flux. In case of non-cleaning flux, conveyor speed had a great affection to defects of bridge, icicle, and poor solder.

This study optimized the chemical cleaning process of discarded RO membranes for reuse in less demanding separation processes. The effect of physicochemical parameters, including the temperature, cleaning time, pH of the cleaning solution, and addition of additives, on the cleaning process was investigated. The membrane performance was evaluated by testing the flux recovery rate and salt rejection before and after the cleaning process. High temperatures (45-50 ℃) resulted in a better flux recovery rate of 71% with more than 80% salt rejection. Equal time for acid and base cleaning 3-3 h presented a 72.43% flux recovery rate with salt rejection above 85%. During acid and base cleaning, the best results were achieved at pH values of 3.0 and 12.0, respectively. Moreover, 0.05% concentration of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid presented 72.3% flux recovery, while 69.2% flux was achieved using sodium dodecyl sulfate with a concentration of 0.5%; both showed >80% salt rejection, indicating no damage to the active layer of the membrane. Conversely, 0.5% concentration of sodium percarbonate showed 83.1% flux recovery and 0.005% concentration of sodium hypochlorite presented 85.2% flux recovery, while a high concentration of these chemicals resulted in oxidation of the membrane that caused a reduction in salt rejection.

본 연구에서는 솔더페이스트(solder paste)로 솔더링후 표면에 잔류하는 플럭스(flux)의 효과적인 세정성능 평가방법 개발을 목적으로 하였다. 솔더링시 플럭스의 퍼짐오차를 줄이기 위해 본 연구에서 고안한 금속치구를 이용하여 1,1,1-TCE 및 플럭스 제거용 몇 가지 대표 준수계 대체세정제에 대하여 세정시간에 따른 플럭스 제거율을 무게측정법으로 측정, 비교하였다. 세정시간 변화에 따른 각 세정제의 세정효율을 측정한 결과 측정값들의 상대표준편차(RSD)가 약 4%이하로 data의 신뢰성이 확인되었다. 따라서 솔더페이스트로 솔더링후 대체세정제의 잔류플럭스의 세정성능 평가시험에 본 연구에서 적용한 금속치구(metal test tool)를 이용한 평가방법이 유력한 방법으로 적용가능할 것으로 판단된다. 그리고 이 평가방법을 적용한 결과 현재 상용화 되어 있는 우수하다고 알려진 몇 가지 대표 준수계 대체세정제 중 ST100SX와 750H가 고활성 플럭스에 대한 세정력이 우수한 성능을 나타냈으나 기존의 1,1,1-TCE에 비해서는 현저히 떨어짐을 확인할 수 있었다.

Sponge ball cleaning can generate an abrasion effect, which leads to an attractive increasing in both permeate flux and membrane rejection. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of the daily sponge ball cleaning (SBC) on the performance of different UF cross-flow membrane modules integrated with a bioreactor. Two 1"-membrane modules and one 1/2"-membrane module were tested. The parameters measured and controlled are temperature, pH, viscosity, particle size, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), total suspended solids (TSS), and permeate flux. The permeate flux could be improved by 60%, for some modules, after 11 days of daily sponge ball cleaning at a transmembrane pressure of 350 kPa and a flow velocity of 4 m/s. Rejection values of all tested modules were improved by 10%. The highest permeate flux of 195 L/㎡.h was achieved using a 1"-membrane module with the aid of its negatively charged membrane material and the daily sponge ball cleaning. In addition, the enhancement in the permeate flux caused by daily sponge ball cleaning improved the energy specific demand for all tested modules. The negatively charged membrane showed the lowest energy specific demand of 1.31 kWh/㎥ in combination with the highest flux, which is a very competitive result.

Recently, separation membranes have been applied to fields such as water supply, sewage treatment, gray water reuse, and air pollution control. Chemical cleaning technology is attracting attention among the methods of reusing these expensive separation membranes. It was found that the separation membrane could be regenerated using chemical cleaning. Specifically, it was found that the use time of the separation membranes regenerated by chemical cleaning was sustainable for more than 1,700 hours. Additionally, it was found that the flux recovery ratio after chemical cleaning was maintained at least 60%. In addition, the flux recovery ratio of HYDREX 4710, an organic membrane cleaner, and 4703, an inorganic membrane cleaner, was 76% and 62%, respectively, showing the highest flux recovery ratio among the chemicals used. Considering that the target raw water of this study is biological secondary treatment water, it was suggested that chemical cleaning could be actively used to regenerate separation membranes in future water treatment.

본 연구에서는 계면활성제에 의한 수계 세정제의 문제점을 해결하고자 친환경적이고 계면활성제가 없는 수계세정제 개발연구를 진행하였다. 이를 위하여 전자 부품 세정대상의 주 오염물인 플럭스(flux)에 대해 용해력이 있고 수용성인 propylene glycol과 propylene glycol alkyl ether계 용제를 주성분으로 하고 여기에 여러 첨가제를 가하여 수계 surfactant-free 세정제 S-1, S-2를 배합하였고, 이들 개발세정제와 비교대상의 수계 surfactant-free 수입 세정제의 물성을 측정하여 세정성능을 예측하고 오염물인 플럭스와 솔더(flux and solder) 대하여 중량법을 이용한 초음파 세정성 평가를 진행하였다. 물성 측정 결과 비교대상 세정제인 수입세정제 V는 본 연구에서 개발한 배합세정제 S-1과 S-2의 세정제와 전반적으로 비슷한 결과 값을 가짐을 확인할 수 있었다. 비교대상 세정제 V와 배합세정제 모두 원액을 희석함에 따라 pH가 저하되다가 다시 상승하는 것이 관찰되었으며 습윤지수값은 세정능력에는 크게 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 판단되었다. 다양한 초음파 주파수(28, 45, 100 kHz)를 사용한 세정성 평가 실험 결과에서 솔더(solder)의 세정은 주파수 45 kHz에서 세정 성능이 가장 좋게 나타났고 플럭스(flux)의 세정 성능 결과는 실험 대상의 모든 세정제가 주파수 28 kHz에서 세정 성능이 가장 좋게 나타났다. 희석하지 않은 원액세정제의 플럭스 및 솔더(flux and solder) 세정의 경우 배합세정제 S-1, S-2 모두 수입세정제 V보다 빠른 세정력을 보여주었다. 그러나 수입세정제 V의 권장 사용농도인 25%에서는 수입 세정제 V가 배합세정제 보다 초기 세정효율이 좋음이 확인되었다. 따라서 본 실험결과를 가지고 판단할 때, 본 연구에서 개발한 배합세정제 S-1, S-2는 충분히 산업현장의 플럭스 및 솔더(flux and solder) 세정에 적용이 가능할 것으로 판단되어진다.

This study investigated effects of NaOH cleaning on the intrinsic permeability of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes and flux recoveries and membrane resistances under various conditions encountered during ultrafiltration in water treatment plants. The NaOH cleaning using 10,000 mg/L NaOH led to discoloration of PVDF membranes and had little effect on water flux. The NaOH cleaning was efficient in removing the fouling layer caused by humic water. However, long filtration induced a fouling layer that was not removed easily by NaOH cleaning. The lower temperature during filtration yielded rapid increases in transmembrane pressure and decreases in NaOH cleaning efficiency. The alkaline cleaning of PVDF changed the membrane properties such as the hydrophobicity and morphology. Foulant properties, operational conditions such as temperature, and chemical agents should be considered for cleaning strategies for PVDF applied in water treatment.

In this study, a direct contact membrane module was manufactured to be used in a pilot scale membrane distillation process to treat $3m^3/day$ of the digestate produced from anaerobic digestion of livestock manure. In order to investigate the performance of the membrane module, permeate flux was measured with and without spacer inside the module under various condition of temperature difference and cross flow velocity (CFV) through the membrane surfaces. Flux recovery rate after chemical cleaning was also investigated by applying three different cleaning methods. Additionally, thermal energy consumption was theoretically simulated based on actual pilot plant operation conditions. As results, we observed flux of the module with spacer was almost similar to the theoretically predicted value because the installation of spacer reduced the channeling effect inside the module. Under the same operating condition, the permeate flux also increased with increasing temperature difference and CFV. As a result of chemical in-line cleaning using NaOCl and citric acid for the fouled membranes, the recovery rate was 83.7% compared to the initial flux when NaOCl was used alone, and 87% recovery rate was observed when only citric acid was used. However, in the case of using only citric acid, the permeate flux was decreased at a rapid rate. It seemed that a cleaning by NaOCl was more effective to recover the flux of membrane contaminated by the organic matter as compared to a cleaning by citric acid. The total heat energy consumption increased with increasing CFV and temperature difference across the membrane. Thus, further studies should be intensively conducted to obtain a high permeate flux while keeping the energy consumption to a minimum for a practical application of membrane distillation process to treat wastewater.

This study investigated effects of physical and chemical cleaning methods on the initial flux recovery of fouled membrane in membrane distillation process. A laboratory scale direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) experiment was performed to treat digested livestock wastewater with 3.89 mg/L suspended solids, 874.7 mg/L COD, 543.7 mg/L nitrogen, 15.6 mg/L total phosphorus, and pH of 8.6. A hydrophobic PVDF membrane with an average pore size of $0.22{\mu}m$ and a porosity of 75 % was installed inside a direct contact type membrane distillation module. The temperature difference between feed and permeate side was maintained at $40^{\circ}C$ with the feed and permeate stream velocity of 0.18 m/s. The results showed that the permeate flux decreased from $22.1L{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}hr^{-1}$ to $19.0L{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}hr^{-1}$ after 75 hours of distillation. The fouled membrane was cleaned first by physical flushing and consecutively by chemicals with NaOCl and citric acid. After the physical cleaning the flux was recovered to 92 % as compared with the initial clean water flux of the virgin membrane. Then 94 % of the flux was recovered after cleaning by 2,000 ppm NaOCl for 90 minutes and finally 97 % of flux recovered after 3 % citric acid for 90 minutes. SEM-EDS and FT-IR analysis results presented that the foulants on the membrane surface were removed effectively after each cleaning step. The contact angle measurement showed that the hydrophobicity of the membrane surface was also restored gradually after each cleaning step to reach nearly the same hydrophobicity level as the virgin membrane.
