Forward osmosis (FO) process has been attracting attention for its potential applications such as industrial wastewater treatment, wastewater reclamation and seawater desalination. Particularly, in terms of fouling reversibility and operating energy consumption, the FO process is assumed to be preferable to the reverse osmosis (RO) process. Despite these advantages, there is a difficulty in the empirical step due to the lack of separation and recovery techniques of the draw solution. Therefore, rather than using FO alone, recent developments of the FO process have adapted a hybrid system without draw solution separation/recovery systems, such as the FO-RO osmotic dilution system. In this study, we investigated the performance of the hollow fiber FO module according to various operating conditions. The change of permeate flow rate according to the flow rates of the draw and feed solutions in the process operation is a factor that increases the permeate flow rate, one of the performance factors in the positive osmosis process. Our results reveal that flow rates of draw and feed solutions affect the membrane performance, such as the water flux and the reverse solute flux. Moreover, use of hydraulic pressure on the feed side was shown to yield slightly higher flux than the case without applied pressure. Thus, optimizing the operating conditions is important in the hollow fiber FO system.

This study was accomplished to get the foundation design data of VMD(Vacuum Membrane Distillation) system for Solar Thermal VMD plant. VMD experiment was designed to evaluate thermal performance of VMD using PVDF(polyvinylidene fluoride) hollow fiber hydrophobic membranes. The total membrane surface area in a VMD module is $5.3m^2$. Experimental equipments to evaluate VMD system consists of various parts such as VMD module, heat exchanger, heater, storage tank, pump, flow meter, micro filter. The experimental conditions to evaluate VMD module were salt concentration, temperature, flow rate of feed sea water. Salt concentration of feed water were used by aqueous NaCl solutions of 25g/l, 35g/l and 45g/l concentration. As a result, increase in permeate flux of VMD module is due to the increasing feed water temperature and feed water flow rate. Also, decrease in permeate flux of VMD module is due to increasing salinity of feed water. VMD module required about 590 kWh/day of heating energy to produce $1m^3/day$ of fresh water.

Porous $Al_2O_3$ hollow fiber membranes were successfully prepared by dry-wet spinning/sintering method. The SEM image shows that the $Al_2O_3$ hollow fiber membrane consists mostly of sponge pore structure. The contact angle and the breakthrough pressure were $126^{\circ}$ and 1.91 bar, respectively. This results indicate that the $Al_2O_3$ hollow fiber membranes were successfully modified to hydrophobic surface. The hydrophobic modified $Al_2O_3$ hollow fiber membranes were assembled into a membrane contactor system to separate $CO_2$ from a model gas mixture of the flue gas at elevated gas velocity. The $CO_2$ absorption flux was enhanced when the gas velocity increased from $1{\times}10^{-3}$ to $6{\times}10^{-3}$ m/s. Whereas the $CO_2$ absorption flux was decreased with the number of hollow fiber membrane of a module because of the concentration polarization. Furthermore, we developed an lab-scale $Al_2O_3$ hollow fiber membrane contactor modules and their system (i.e., $CO_2$ absorption using the $Al_2O_3$ membrane and monoethanolamine (MEA)) that could dispose of over $0.02Nm^3/h$ mixture gas (15% $CO_2$) with the removal efficiency higher than 95%. The results can be useful in a field of the membrane contactor for $CO_2$ separation, helping to design and extend a equipment.

미세공의 중공사 모듈을 이용한 액-액추출은 단위부피당 표면적이 크므로 기존 추출장치들에 비해 신속히 진행된다, 모듈내에서 추출제와 원료액은 빠른 속도로 접촉하며 두 흐름이 완전히 독립적이므로 부하나 편류현상이 일어나지 않는다. 본 연구에서는 소수성 중공사 모듈을 사용하여 수용액 중에 미량으로 존재하는 Fe(II)와 Ni(II)을 추출하기 위해 TOA 및 EHPNA를 추출제로 사용하여, 그 추출선택성을 고찰하였다. 또한, 중공사 모듈에서의 율속단계를 결정하기 위해 막 내 외부 유속의 영향을 검토하였다. 이로부터, 소수성 중공사 내에서 분배계수가 큰 계에 대한 추출조작의 경우는 막내부에서의 물질전달과정이 총괄물질전달을 지배함을 확인하였으며, 본 연구를 통한 $K_w$와 소수성 중공사 내부유속 $v_t$와의 상관관계는 $K_w{\frac{d}{D}}=6.22\(\frac{d^2v_t}{LD}\)^{1/3}$과 같았다. 반면, 분배계수가 낮은 경우, 세공 내에서의 추출반응이 원활하지 못하기 때문에 막내부 저항의 영향이 막저항의 영향보다 작았다. 따라서, 분배계수가 큰 계에서는 소수성 막을 사용하는 것이 효과적임을 예측할 수 있었다.

The aeration provided in a Submerged Membrane Bioreactor (SMBR) improves membrane filtration by creating turbulence on the membrane surface and reducing membrane resistance. However, conventional hollow fiber membrane modules are generally packed in a vertical orientation which limits membrane scouring efficiency, especially when aeration is provided in the axial direction. In the present research, 3 innovative hollow-fiber membrane modules, each with a different membrane orientation, were developed to improve membrane scouring efficiency and enhance permeate flux. Pilot testing was performed to investigate the permeate flux versus time relationship over a 7-day period under different intermittent modes. The results indicated that the best module experienced an overall permeate flux decline of 3.3% after 7 days; the other two modules declined by 13.3% and 18.3%. The lower percentage of permeate flux decline indicated that permeate productivity could be sustained for a longer period of time. As a result, the operational costs associated with membrane cleaning and membrane replacement could be reduced over the lifespan of the module.

중공사막 접촉기에 적절한 PVDF 중공사막을 상전이 공정에 의하여 제조하였으며, SEM 과 기체투과도에 의하여 그 특성을 분석하였다. 벤치규모 중공사막 접촉기에서 $SO_2$ 제거를 위한 흡수제는 수산화나트륨 수용액을 사용하였다. 기체는 shell side, 액체는 lumen side로 흐르는 counter-current로 실험하였으며, 흡수제의 농도, 기체의 유속, 액가스비, 유입 $SO_2$ 농도에 따른 영향을 알아보았으며, 수학적 모델링에 의해 막 물질전달계수($k_m$)를 측정하였다. 흡수제의 농도와 액기비가 증가함에 따라 기-액 계면에서 충분한 알칼리도가 제공되므로, 액체막 저항이 감소하며, 총괄물질전달 용량계수는 증가하였다. 기체유속이 증가함에 따라 기체막저항은 감소하게 되므로 총괄물질전달 용량계수는 증가하였다.
