역삼투막을 이용한 해수담수화 공정에서 발생되는 농축수의 최소방류 및 회수율 극대화를 위한 공정으로 전기투석을 이용한 농축수의 이차 농축기술 연구를 수행하였다. 실험방법은 정전압운전 방식을 채용하였으며, 농축/탈염조의 용량비율, 전압별 변화 및 전해질을 농축수로 활용시 등에 대한 검토를 수행하였다. 사용한 막은 다가이온막을 채용하였으며, 전력효율을 최소화하며, 농축수의 농도를 극대화 및 탈염수의 농도를 최소화할 수 있는 조건 도출을 목표로 삼았다. 실험결과 농축/탈염조의 비율은 1대 5의 비율이, 전압의 경우 12V로 전해질의 경우 농축수를 이용시에도 효율에는 큰 차이가 발생하지 않았다. 이와 같은 실험조건에서 도출된 최적조건으로는 탈염수의 총용존고형물 농도가 5.32g/l, 이차 농축수의 염도는 17.07%이며 전력량은 탈염수 톤당 16.74kWh로 나타났다.

Experimental research was undertaken to develop a domestic spray nozzle used on equipment for desalination. First, we made a test set-up in order to confirm nozzle efficiency of spray and distribution under different pressure conditions. Then, we found a maximum spray condition after verifying reliability of this facility. An optimum arrangement of the nozzle, based on the test result, was made using CATIA V5 and EXCEL.

The various pretreatment processes were evaluated to remove organic pollutants of weathered oil contaminated seawater(WOCS) for reverse osmosis desalination process, Biodegradation, coagulation, ultrafiltration, advanced oxidation processes and granular activated carbon filtration were used to evaluate the potential of organic pollutants removal in WOCS. Dissolved Organic Carbon(DOC) was almost not removed by biodegradation in WOCS. DOC was removed by 25% and 10% with the addition of $FeCl_3$ and PAC in WOCS, respectively. The removal efficiency using ultrafiltration(WOCS 500) was about 20% of DOC and 40% of $E_{260}$, respectively. In AOP application of WOCS, the removal of organic materials was improved up to 60% by the combination of $UV/O_3$ compared to UV process. However, 98% of DOC in woes could be removed by granular activated carbon filtration. It is revealed that activated carbon filtration is the best process for the pretratment of DOC removal.

As rapid advances in technologies continue, seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination systems are now more energy-efficient than conventional thermal processes. Some SWRO desalination plants can achieve the specific energy consumption (SEC) below 2 kWh/$m^3$. Along with the development of new membranes and high-performance pumps, energy recovery devices (ERD), which recover the hydraulic energy of brine, have been developed to enhance energy efficiency. In this work, we reviewed general aspects of ERD technologies and their market trends. The advantages and disadvantages of various EDR technologies were compared to explore the future directions of ERD development.

The present study deals with a numerical investigation of heat and mass transfer in a Sweeping Gas Membrane Distillation (SGMD) used for desalination. The governing equations expressing the conservation of mass, momentum, energy and species with coupled boundary conditions were solved numerically. The slip boundary condition applied on the feed saline solution-hydrophobic membrane interface is taken into consideration showing its effects on profiles and process parameters.The numerical model was validated with available experimental data and was found to be in good agreement particularly when the slip condition is considered. The results of the simulations highlighted the effect of slip boundary condition on the velocity and temperature distributions as well as the process effectiveness. They showed in particular that as the slip length increases, the permeate flux of fresh water and process thermal efficiency rise.

Many reports have warned of insufficient water supply in most countries in future and prospected providing safe and clean water become more difficult by lack of access to sustainable drinking water resources. Several facts and figures explained the impact by natural climate change and human activity results in the water scarcity and deterioration. Among many scientific solutions, the seawater desalination using a reverse osmosis membrane, so called SWRO (Seawater Reverse Osmosis) process, has been recognized as one of the most promising alternatives because of its stability and efficiency in producing large amount of drinking water from seawater through desalination by membrane filtration. Recently, in Korea, numerous researches are conducted to develop more productive and cost effective SWRO process for its wide implementation. The objective of this paper is to review the patents concerning SWRO technologies involving the plant engineering, maintenance including pretreatment of seawater and fouling control, module design, and mechanical units development for energy saving. The patents in Korea, U.S., Japan, Europe, and PCT were intensively researched and analyzed to provide the state of the art as well as leading edge technology on SWRO. This information can hopefully suggest meaningful guidelines on future research and development.

This study was accomplished to evaluate the performance of Multi Effect Distillation(MED) for solar thermal desalination system. It was designed Multi effect distillation with $3m^3$/day capacity and Shell&Tube type heat exchanger. Also, The effective heat transfer of Shell&Tube heat exchanger was used Cu(90%)-Ni(10%) corrugated tube. The parameters relating to the performance of Multi Effect Distillation are known as hot water flow rate. The experimental conditions for each parameters were $18^{\circ}C$ for sea water inlet temperature, $6m^3$/hour sea water inlet volume flow rate, $75^{\circ}C$ for hot water inlet temperature, 2.4, 3.6, and $4.8\;m^3$/hour for hot water inlet volume flow rate, respectively. The results are as follows, Development for Multi effect distillation was required about 40kW heat and 35kW cooling source to produce $3m^3$/day of fresh water. Based on the results of this study, It makes possible to secure economics of desalination system with solar energy which is basically needed development of high efficiency fresh water generator.

이 연구에서는 전류밀도와 전기삼투 현상이 전기투석(electrodialysis, ED)의 탈염성능에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 농축액의 농도를 10~200 g/L로 변화시키면서 정전압 조건에서 ED 실험을 진행하였다. ED 운전과정에서 스택에 공급되는 전류밀도와 전하량, 희석액과 농축액의 농도, 그리고 전기삼투에 의한 물 이동량을 측정하여 탈염성능을 분석하였다. 농축액의 농도가 증가함에 따라 이온교환막의 선택성이 감소하여 전류효율이 감소하였다. 또한 전류효율은 스택에 공급되는 전류밀도에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 전류밀도가 15 mA/cm² 이상에서는 역 확산이 억제되어 전류효율이 증가하였다. ED 운전과정에서 전기삼투에 의한 물 이동량을 분석하였다. 물 이동량은 농축액과 희석액의 농도비에 비례하여 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 농도비가 100 이상에서는 삼투압에 의한 물 이동량이 급격히 증가하여 200 g/L 이상의 농축액을 얻는데 한계가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

축전식 탈염전극의 에너지 효율을 향상시키기 위하여 탄소나노튜브를 불소화 표면처리하고 이를 도전재로 적용하였다. 탄소나노튜브는 상온에서 불소와 질소의 혼합가스로 불소화 처리되었으며, 미처리 탄소나노튜브와 불소화 탄소나노튜브를 각각 활성탄소 대비 0~0.5 wt% 첨가하여 활성탄소 기반 축전식 탈염전극을 제조하였다. 불소화 탄소나노튜브는 미처리 탄소나노튜브에 비하여 전극 슬러리 및 전극 내에서 분산성이 향상된 것을 제타 전위와 전자주사현미경을 통해 확인하였다. 불소화 탄소나노튜브를 첨가한 전극은 미처리 탄소나노튜브를 첨가한 전극보다 전체적으로 높은 탈염효율을 보였으며, 에너지 소비량 역시 감소하였다. 이는 불소화 표면처리로 인한 탄소나노튜브의 분산성 향상으로 인해 축전식 탈염 전극의 저항이 감소되었기 때문이다.

In this study, a theoretical model for the transport phenomena in an Air Gap Membrane Distillation used for desalination was developed. The model is based on the conservation equations for the mass, momentum, energy and species within the feed water solution as well as on the mass and energy balances on the membrane sides. The rarefaction impacts are taken into consideration showing their effects on process parameters particularly permeate flow and thermal efficiency. The theoretical model was validated with available data and was found in good agreement especially when the slip condition is introduced. The rarefaction impact was found considerable inducing an increase in the permeate flux and the thermal efficiency.
