In many solute transport studies, either flux or resident concentration has been used. Choice of the concentration mode was dependent on the monitoring device in solute displacement experiments. It would be questionable, however. to accept the equivalency in the solute transport parameters between flux and resident concentrations in structured soils exhibiting preferential movement of solute. In this study, we investigate how they differ in the monitored breakthrough curves (BTCs) and transport parameters for a given boundary and flow condition by performing solute displacement experiments on a number of undisturbed soil columns. Both flux and resident concentrations have been simultaneously obtained by monitoring the effluent and resistance of the Horizontally-positioned TDR probes. The study reveals that soil columns having relatively high flux densities exhibited great differences in the degree of peak concentration and travel time of peak between flux and resident concentrations. The peak concentration in flux mode was several times higher than that in resident one. This was mainly due to the bypassing of solute through soil macropores.

In this study, vacuum membrane distillation (VMD) was used to treat high-salinity wastewater (concentration about 17%) discharged by chlor-alkali plant after resin regeneration. The feasibility of VMD for the treatment of real saline wastewater by using Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) microporous plate membrane with a pore diameter of $0.2{\mu}m$ was investigated. The effects of critical operating parameters such as feed temperature, velocity, vacuum degree and concentration on the permeate water flux were analyzed. Numerical simulation was used to predict the flux and the obtained results were in good agreement with the experimental data. The results showed that an increase in the operating conditions could greatly promote the permeate water flux which in turn decreased with an increase in the concentration. When the concentration varied from 17 to 25%, the permeate water flux dropped marginally with time indicating that the concentration was not sensitive to the decrease in permeate water flux. The permeate water flux decreased sharply until zero due to the membrane fouling resistance as the concentration varied from 25 to 26%. However, the conductivity of the produced water was well maintained and the average value was measured to be $4.98{\mu}s/cm$. Furthermore, a salt rejection of more than 99.99% was achieved. Overall, the outcome of this investigation clearly indicates that VMD has the potential for treating high-salinity wastewater.

A mathematical sensitivity analysis of the flow-through dynamic flux chamber technique, which has been utilized usually for various trace gas flux measurement from soil and water surface, was performed in an effort to provide physical and mathematical understandings of parameters essential for the NO flux calculation. The mass balance equation including chemical reactions was analytically solved for the soil NO flux under the steady state condition. The equilibrium concentration inside the chamber, $C_{eq}$, was found to be determined mainly by the balance between the soil flux and dilution of the gas concentration inside the chamber by introducing the ambient air. Surface deposition NO occurs inside the chamber when the $C_{eq}$ is greater than the ambient NO concentration ($C_{0}$) introducing to the chamber; NO emission from the soil occurs when the $C_{eq}$ is less than the ambient NO concentration. A sensitivity analysis of the significance of the chemical reactions of NO with the reactive species (i.e. $HO_{2},/CH_{3}O_{2},/O_{3}$) on the NO flux from soils was performed. The result of the analysis suggests that the NO flux calculated in the absence of chemical reactions and wall loss could be in error ranges from 40 to $85\%$ to the total flux.

It is well known that concrete is typical porous material. We pay attention to Hansen's idea that concrete may be expected to act as semi-permeable membrane, and report the effect of concentration of solution and temperature on water flux in forward osmosis. In order to measuring volume of water flux from distilled water to solution of sodium chloride through hardened cement paste, specially designed apparatus was constructed, and the following result were obtained: (1) hardened cement paste acts as semi-permeable membrane, consequently, water flux in forward osmosis may occur. (2) Rate of water flux is proportion to concentration of dilute solution, and this suggests hardened cement paste is agreeable to the theory of membrane. (3) Effect of temperature on water flux is agreeable to Arrehenius equation and is great.

A theoretical study for the flux enhancement by pulsation of transmembrane pressure is presented for osmotic pressure controlled ultrafiltration under laminar flow regime. The transient velocity profile is solved analytically using Green's function method. Time dependent convective diffusive equation is solved to quantify the membrane surface concentration and the permeate flux, numerically. The effects of the amplitude and frequency of pulsation on flux, surface concentration and observed retention are studied.

The present study explored the way to desalinate seawater for agricultural irrigation using forward osmosis (FO) process using liquid fertilizer as draw solution. FO experiments were performed in a cross flow mode using flat sheet FO membrane. The effect of membrane orientation, flow rate, and draw solution concentration on the performance of forward osmosis was investigated by measuring water flux of forward osmosis membrane. The water flux when the draw solution was placed against the membrane active layer was lower than the water flux when the feed solution was placed against the membrane active layer. This results indicated that the decrease of effective osmotic pressure by dilutive internal concentration polarization was less than that by concentrative internal concentration polarization. Increasing flow rate from 66.7 to 133.1 $cm^3$/min resulted in increase of the water flux when the membrane active layer orient to draw solution and feed solution, respectively. The reduction of resistance to water flow increased water flux at higher flow rate. The water flux of FO membrane increased with increasing draw solution concentration from 10000 to 30000 mg/L. The water flux for $KH_2PO_4$ draw solution was similar to that for commercial fertilizer. Optimization of FO process would contribute to economically desalinate brackish water for agricultural use.

Nocolok 브레이징을 하기 위해서는 플럭스 용액을 접합부 표면에 도포해야 하는데 저농도 플럭스와는 달리 고농도 플럭스는 필요한 부분만 도포해야 한다. 보통 기존의 브레이징로에서는 고농도 플럭스 도포를 수작업으로 하고 있는데 작업의 비효율성을 초래하고 플럭스 분진 날림 및 열 등으로 인해 작업 환경을 악화시킨다. 그러므로 경제적이고 효율적인 고농도 플럭스 자동 도포 장치의 개발을 통한 품질 향상 및 생산 단가 저감 등이 절실한 실정이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 고농도 플럭스 자동 도포 시스템을 설계 및 제작하였고 이를 직접 브레이징로에 장착하여 자동화 공정으로 개선시켜 기피 작업 해소 및 생산성 향상을 이루었다.

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.

난백 lysozyme은 박테리아 세포벽을 선택적으로 분해하므로 식품 가공 공정에 있어서 천연 식품보존제로서의 이용 가치가 높다. 기존의 결정화와 냉동건조 방법 대신 PM30 막을 사용하여 한외여과함으로써 13종의 난백 단백질로부터 single-step에 의해 lysozyme을 분리하고자 하였다. 냉동 건조한 lysozyme을 pH 4.6 citrate-phosphate buffer에 녹여 PM30 막으로 한외여과시 시료 농도, 온도, 막 횡단 압력, 교반속도 등의 운용 조건을 변화시켜주면서 flux를 최대화하는 최적 막분리 조건을 구하였다. 최적 막 분리 조건하에서 시간이 경과함에 따라 막 재질과 막 침착이 flux에 미치는 효과를 측정하였고, 막 분리 여액내 단백질 농도와 lysozyme 농도, 비활성도를 측정하였다. PM30 막을 이용한 난백 lysozyme의 막 분리 최적 조건은 시료농도 0.25%, 온도 $35^{\circ}C$, 막 횡단 압력 30 psi, 교반속도 300 rpm 이었다. 막 분리 초기 12분까지는 YM30 막의 flux가 더 높았으나, 정상상태에서의 flux는 PM30 막이 더 높았다. PM30 막의 분리 여액내 단백질 농도와 lysozyme 농도는 YM30 막에 비해 낮았으나, 비활성도는 2배 이상 높았다. 5회 막 분리한 PM30 막은 새 PM30 막에 비하여 flux가 약 30% 감소하였으나 시간 경과에 따른 flux 감소 경향은 거의 동일하였으며, 막 분리 35분 경과 후 정상상태에 이르러 초기 flux 약 70%를 유지하였다. 막 분리 여액내 lysozyme 농도와 비활성도는 각각 110 units/mL, 2,821 units/mg protein이었으므로, PM30 막을 이용한 한외여과 공정은 천연 항균 효소제인 lysozyme을 분리하는데 매우 효과적인 방법이었다.
