Gas separation membrane technology is useful for a variety of applications [1, 2]. such as hydrogen recovery from reactor purge gas, nitrogen and oxygen enrichment, water vapor removal from air, stripping of carbon dioxide from natural gas. etc. Although membrane separations are attractive because of low energy costs and simple operation, low permeabilities and/or selectivity often limit membrane applications [3, 4].(omitted)

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.

$PrBa_{0.9}Sr_{0.1}Co_2O_{5+{\delta}}$ oxide was synthesized by soild state reaction method. Dense ceramic membrane was prepared using as-prepared powder by pressing and sintering at $1250^{\circ}C$. XRD result of membrane showed double perovskite structure. Leakage and oxygen permeation test were conducted on the membrane sealed by pyrex ring as a sealing material. Oxygen permeation was measured in the temperature range from 850 to $950^{\circ}C$. The oxygen flux of $PrBa_{0.9}Sr_{0.1}Co_2O_{5+{\delta}}$ membrane was increased with the temperature from 0.15 to $0.32mL/cm^2{\cdot}min$.

A dense mixed ionic and electronic conducting ceramic membrane is one of the most promising materials because it can be used for separation of oxygen from the mixture gas. The $ABO_3$ perovskite structure shows high chemical stability at high temperatures under reduction and oxidation atmospheres. $BaCo_{1-x-y}Fe_xZr_yO_{3-{\delta}}$ (BCFZ) was well-known material as high mechanical strength, low thermal conductivity and stability in the high valence state. Glycine Nitrate Process (GNP) is rapid and effective method for powder synthesis using glycine as a fuel and show higher product crystallinity compared to solid state reaction and citrate-EDTA method. BCFZ was fabricated by modified glycine nitrate process. In order to control the burn-up reaction, $NH_4NO_3$ was used as extra nitrate. According to X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) results, BCFZ was single phase regardless of Zr dopants from y=0.1 to 0.3 on B sites. The green compacts were sintered at $1200^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. Oxygen permeability, methane partial oxidation rate and hydrogen production ability of the membranes were characterized by using Micro Gas Chromatography (Micro GC) under various condition. The high oxygen permeation flux of BCFZ 1-451 was about $1ml{\cdot}cm^{-2}s^{-1}$. Using the humidified Argon gas, BCFZ 1-433 produced hydrogen about $1ml{\cdot}cm^{-2}s^{-1}$.

The adsorption equilibria of oxygen, nitrogen and argon on carbonaceous adsorbent with slit-shaped and randomly etched graphite (REG) pores were calculated by molecular simulation method. Reliable models of adsorbents and adsorbates for adsorption equilibria are important for the correct design of industrial adsorptive separation processes. At the smallest physical pore of $5.6{\AA}$, only oxygen molecules were accommodated at the center of the slit-shaped pore, and from $5.9{\AA}$ nitrogen and argon molecules could be accommodated in the pores. Slit pores showed higher adsorption capacity compared with REG pores with same averaged reenterance pore size due to dead volume and inaccessible volume in defected pores. And it was shown the adsorption capacities of oxygen and argon was same in larger pore size. From calculated adsorption isotherms at 298 K it showed that the adsorption capacity ratio of oxygen to nitrogen is increased as pressure is increased.

As the membrane gas separation technology grows, various models were developed by numerous researchers to describe the separation process. In this work, the counter-current model was compared thoroughly with experimental data. Experimentally, hollow fiber membrane using CA module was prepared for the separation of biogas. The pure gas permeation properties of membrane module for methane, nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide were measured. The permeance of CO2 and CH4 were 25.82 GPU and 0.65 GPU, respectively. The high CO2/CH4 selectivity of 39.7 was obtained. the separation test for three different simulated mixed gases were carried out after pure gas test, and the gas concentration of the permeate at various stage-cut were measured from CA membrane module. Results showed that the experimental data agreed with the numerical simulation. A mathematical model has implemented in this study for the separation of biogas using a membrane module. The finite difference method (FDM) is applied to calculate the membrane biogas separation behaviors. Futhermore, the counter-current model can be considered as a convenient model for biogas separation process.

Tubular $Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}Co_{0.8}Fe_{0.2}O_{3-${\delta}$}$ membranes were prepared by extrusion. TGA results of green body membrane after extrusion showed three successive weight losses due to decomposition of organic additives and carbonate. Drying shrinkage rate of tubular $Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}Co_{0.8}Fe_{0.2}O_{3-${\delta}$}$ membranes was no change after 68 h and higher in the membrane with large outer diameter. XRD and SEM results showed the sintered membranes were the single phase structure and dense. The stoichiometric molar ratio agreed well with composition ratio calculated by EDS results for $Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}Co_{0.8}Fe_{0.2}O_{3-${\delta}$}$ membrane. Radial crushing strength of tubular $Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}Co_{0.8}Fe_{0.2}O_{3-${\delta}$}$ membrane with 0.95 mm thickness was 5.7 kgf/$mm^2$ and the oxygen permeation rate of same membrane was 146.85 mL/min ($Jo_2$=2.33 mL/$min{\cdot}cm^2$) at $950^{\circ}C$. Therefore, it was known that use of vacuum pump was more effective than that of sweep gas to obtain higher oxygen permeation flux.

Gas permeation and separation characteristics of ozone treated polysulfone (PSF) membranes were investigated. The PSF is one of the most widely used commercial membranes. Ozone treatment of the PSF membrane was performed for certain hours by continuously supplying 5 vol.% ozone-containing oxygen to the chamber, in which the membrane samples were charged. The permselectivity of PSF increased with ozone treatment time, and it was found that one and half hour was enough to ozone treatment. Increase in the selectivity of the membrane for He/$N_2$, HY$N_2$, O:J$N_2$, COJ$CH_4$ by ozone treatment was found to be due to decrease in the permeability of gases with larger molecular size such as $N_2$ and $CH_4$ The decrease in the permeability of gases with smaller molecular size was negligible. The increase in the selectivities of the PSF by ozone treatment would be due to decrease in the free volume of the polymer because of the oxygen complexes generated by the reaction between ozone and the polymer.

The equation of state is widely utilized as a simple model for the prediction of gas properties. There are several equations of state and they often make diverse and hard to believe output of gas properties. In this study, We show a reliability of equation of state for nitrogen, oxygen and argon in pressure range from 1 bar to 30 bar and temperature range from liquefaction to room temperature. We use three equations of state such as Soave-Redlich-Kwong, Peng-Robinson and BWR-LS' equation of state which provided in the Aspen plus. The results were compared with literatures and virial equation. Finally, We report the differences of process calculation of distillation column and expansion turbine in cryogenic air separation plant with change of equation of state.
