Managed aquifer recharge (MAR) systems are gaining interest as an alternative to conventional water resources. However, when the water recovered in MAR systems, dissolved iron and manganese species may easily oxidize and they cause well screen clogging or require abandonment of extraction wells. In this study, both oxic and anoxic conditions were analyzed to verify the feasibility of the membrane filtration performance under various solution chemistries. The fouling mechanisms of the metal ions under anoxic conditions were also investigated by employing synthetic wastewater. The fouled membranes were then further analyzed to verify the major causes of inorganic fouling through SEM and XPS. The newly suggested anoxic process refining existing membrane process is expected to provide more precious information about nanofiltration (NF) membrane fouling, especially for demonstrating the potential advantages to chemical-free drinking water production for indirect potable reuse.

로켓 추진기관의 해체 시 발생하는 고농도 암모늄 퍼클로레이트(AP)를 액상소각 처리 후 추가로 발생하는 저농도의 AP처리를 위해 NF/RO 멤브레인 공정을 적용하였고, 이때 AP제거 특성에 영향을 미치는 인자를 도출하기 위해 다양한 수리화학적 조건에서 전량여과방식으로 실험을 진행하였다. 고체 추진제에서 추출된 용액을 GC/MS와 FTIR분석을 통해 규산염 계열의 실록산 등을 검출하였으나, 이는 극미량이 포함되어 NF/RO 멤브레인 공정에 큰 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 판단되었다. 상대적으로 낮은 압력의 운용조건에서는 높은 압력조건과 비교하여, 회수율 증가에 따라 농축된 AP의 삼투압 기작이 투과플럭스에 영향을 미치게 되어 13~17% 가량 플럭스가 감소됨을 확인하였다. 또한 AP의 제거율은 수리화학적 운영조건의 변화(압력 및 교반 속도 등)에 따라 크게 좌우됨을 알 수 있었고, 이 경우 NF와 RO 멤브레인 제거율은 각각 10~70%와 26~87% 가량 크게 달라짐을 확인하였다. 본 논문을 통해 NF/RO 멤브레인 공정을 적용한 AP 제거 기작에서 수리화학적 운영조건의 변화에 따른 농도분극, 멤브레인 선택성 및 삼투압 영향이 중요 지배 기작이었으며, 이는 'NF/RO 멤브레인의 물질이동과 선택성'의 기존 이론적 모델과 부합하였다.

두부 순물 분말 및 NF 분리 농축 분말의 일반성분과 이들 분말을 식품에 첨가할 경우 반드시 고려해야할 유지 및 수분 흡착력, 용해도, 유화력과 밀가루 반죽에 첨가시 리올로지 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 일반 성분의 경우, 순물 분말과 순물의 NF 분리농축 분말의 수분 함량은 큰 차이가 없었고, NF 분리농축 분말의 회분 함량은 17.5%로 순물 분말에 비해 27.6% 정도 낮았다. 순물 분말과 NF 분리 농축 분말은 각각 0.97, 0.94 g/g의 유지 흡착력을 가지고 있어 ISP의 유지 흡착력에 비해 낮았으며, NF분리 농축 분말의 경우 수분 흡수력은 나타나지 않았다. 증류수, 0.1M 및 0.5M NaCl 처리구에서 NF 농축 분말은 순물분말과는 달리 pH 6.0 부근에서 각각 가장 낮은 단백질 용해도를 나타내었다. 4% 및 6% NF 분리 농축 분말용액의 유화력은각각 pH4.0 및 6.0에서 최저값을 나타내었으며 EAI 값은 19${\sim}$50으로 순물 분말보다 3${\sim}$8배 정도 낮았다. 유리아미노산 함량에 있어서 NF분리 농축 분말의 경우 threonine이 854.87 mgg%로 가장 많이 함유되었으며 그 다음이 arginine >tyrosine >glycine순으로 높게 나타났다. NF 분리 농축 분말의총 유리아미노산 함량은 2,110.1 mgg%로 순물 분말보다 약 21배 정도 높았다. 또한 밀가루에 NF 분리 농축분말을 첨가한 경우 그 첨가량이 증가할수록 최고 점도와 최종 점도 모두 감소하였다.

This study examined the adsorption effect of aromatic pesticides by hollow fiber NF membrane on rejection and removal properties. Batch type adsorption test and hollow fiber NF membrane filtration were conducted with 5 different kinds of aromatic pesticides. 3 to 15 days were required to reach the equilibrium concentration and $0.3181{\sim}0.8094{\mu}g/cm^2$ were adsorbed to hollow fiber NF membrane. Since 5 hours of separation test were too short to keep steady state for permeate due to the repetition of sorption and desorption, longer times were required to evaluate the rejection performance of NF membrane. Sorption and desorption were confirmed by the separation test equipped with membrane and without membrane. Adsorption contribution of aromatic pesticides to hollow fiber membranes were shown to be ranged from 16.1% to 36.3% and indicated the difference considering sorption effect.

염료제조공정에서 발생되는 폐수는 미반응 물질, 중간합성체, 반응기 세척액 등의 난분해성 물질과 함께 고농도의 염(salt)를 함유하고 있어 기존의 생물학적 처리를 위해서는 폐수를 3-5배 희석하여 처리한다. 따라서 폐수처리장의 규모가 커지고 처리 약품과 에너지의 소모가 증가하므로 처리가 비효율적으로 수행된다. 본 연구에서는 염료폐수처리 및 회수에 역삼투막을 적용하여 폐수의 농축과정에 따른 투과율, 배제율의 변화를 조사하였다. 염료폐수의 생물학적 처리공정에서 문제점으로 대두되는 염의 농도를 낮추기 위해서 Nanofiltration(NF)막을 이용하여 염료성분과 염을 분리하는 실험을 수행하였다.

This study aims to investigate at a laboratory scale fluorides removal from an industrial wastewater having excessive F^- concentration through a hybrid process combining neutralization and membrane separation. For the membrane separation operation, both Reverse Osmosis (RO) and Nanofiltration (NF) were investigated and confronted. The optimized neutralization step with hydrated lime allowed reaching fluoride removal rates of 99.1± 0.4 %. To simulate continuous process, consecutive batch treatments with full recirculation of membrane process brines were conducted. Despite the relatively high super saturations with respect to CaF₂, no membrane cloaking was observed. The RO polishing treatment allowed decreasing the permeate fluoride concentration to 0.9± 0.3 mg/L with a fluoride rejection rate of 93± 2% at the optimal transmembrane pressure of around 100 psi. When NF membrane was used to treat neutralization filtrate, the permeate fluoride concentration dropped to 1.1± 0.4 mg/L with a fluoride rejection rate of 88± 5% at the optimal pressure of around 80 psi. Thus, with respect to RO, NF allowed roughly 20% decrease of the driving pressure at the expense of only 5% drop of rejection rate. Both NF and RO permeates at optimal operating transmembrane pressures respect environmental regulations for reject streams discharge into the environment.

In this manuscript, $35m^3/d$ NF unit was designed and applied for surface water treatment of the River Nile water. Intake of Embaba drinking water treatment plant was selected to install that unit at since; it has the lowest water quality index value through the examined 6 sites in greater Cairo area. The optimized operating conditions were feed and permeate flow, 40 and $7m^3/d$, feed pressure 2.68 bar and flux rate $37.7l/m^2h$. The permeate water was drinkable according to Egyptian Ministerial decree 458/2007 for the tested parameters (physic-chemical, heavy metals, organic, algal, bacteriological and parasitological). Single and double sand filters were used as pretreatment for NF membranes but continuous clogging for sand filters moved us to use UF membrane as pretreatment for NF membrane.

In order to investigate the significance of "salting-out" and "pore swelling" effects on the nanofiltration of neutral solutes, rejection properties of two NF ceramic and polymeric membranes were studied with single polyethyleneglycol (PEG) solution and mixed PEG/inorganic electrolyte solutions. For both membranes, the rejection rate of PEG was found to decrease significantly in the presence of ions. In the case of the ceramic membrane (rigid pores), this phenomenon was imputed to the sole partial dehydration of PEG molecules induced by the surrounding ions. This assumption was confirmed by the lowering of the PEG rejection rates which followed the Hofmeister series. Experimental data were used to compute the resulting decrease in the Stokes radius of PEG molecules in the presence of the various salts. Concerning the polymeric membrane, the decrease in the rejection rate was found to be systematically higher than for the ceramic membrane. The additional decrease was then ascribed to the swelling of the pores. The experimental data of rejection rates were then used to compute the variation in the mean pore radius in the presence of the various salts. The pore swelling phenomenon due to accumulation of counterions inside pores was supported by electrokinetic charge density measurements.

This study was carried out to evaluate the removal rate of organic and inorganic matters from landfill leachate using pre-treatment process as coagulation and limonite adsorption, and membrane process as RO (reverse osmosis) and NF(nanofiltration). By adding limonite adsorption as pre-treatment process, about 40% of organic matters in leachate was removed through pre-treatment process and 74.7% of boron was removed after RO process without pH adjustment. The rejection rate of boron in RO process mainly depends on the pH and increased at pH value of 10. RO process was performed as two stage system adjusting pH condtion to 7 and 10 in second RO stage for boron removal. Most (>90%) of TOC, Cl- and inorganic matters as Ca was rejected in first RO stage, the residue was rejected in second RO and the rejection rate was above 97%. Considering economic efficiency of operation cost, NF substituted for the first RO and total removal rate of TOC was above 90%. Through RO system toxicity to Daphnia in leachate was removed completely.
