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.

Composite membranes were prepared for membrane/cold condensation process for recovery of unreacted olefin monomer from the polyolefin polymerization process by solution coating and plasma polymerization processes. Poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) solution was coated on polysulfone (PSF) support and increase of prepolymer content in solution made more dense membrane structure to result in the increase of separation factor while absolute flux decreased. Permeation of organic materials through the composite membranes follows the sorption and diffusion mechanism, which brought about the results that separation factor increased with critical temperature of the organic materials, and that flux increased with the increase of the molar volume. Crosslinking period affected the permeation characteristics. Other types of composite membranes were fabricated by plasma polymerization of siloxane materials on polypropylene (PP) and PSF supports. PP was tested as a support for composite membranes, which had not been used so far in solution coating process, and plasma polymerization made the composite membranes equivalent performances to those of membranes prepared by solution coating process.

In order to improve the production yield of kindorase as complex antiphlogistic agent, molecular weight of concentration membrane, membrane configration, temperature, pressure and pH of concentration solution, fouling, etc. were investigated, and the results obtained are as follows 1. High production yield was shown using 10k Dalton molecular weight cut-off concentration membrane and spiral membrane made of polysulfone. 2. And it was reasonable conditions for maintaining the concentration solution at 3Bar in pressure. 3. The optimum pH of solution for improving production yield of kindorase were the range of 7.5 to 8.5, and for obtaining better production yield, clean in place(C.I.P) of membrane was treated with 0.1N NaOH at 40 to $50^{\circ}C$ for 30minutes.

폴리술폰을 이용한 분리막의 제조에 있어서 용매 및 조성의 변화에 따른 상도의 작성은 매우 큰 정보를 제공한다. 즉 상도를 통해서 상분리 현상을 예측할 수 있게 되어서 막의 미세구조를 조절할 수 있게 되고, 막의 미세구조를 조절함으로써 투과 분리 특성을 향상시킬 수 있게 된다. 본 실험에서 사용된 고분자는 폴리술폰(Udel P-3500)이며, 용매로는 NMP와 THF를 사용하였다. 실험적으로 흐림점을 측정하여 binodal line을 얻었으며 문헌값, 계산값, 실험값 등을 통한 interaction parameter 값들로 부터 binodal line과 spinodal line을 구하여 실험값과 비교 하였다.

The sorption equilibria and permeation rates for carbon dioxide in such glassy polymer membranes with high glass-transition temperature as polyimide, polyetherimide, polysulfone and polyethersulfone membranes, were measured. The sorption isotherms for these systems can be described well by the dual-mode sorption model, whereas the pressure dependences of the mean permeability coefficients are simulated better by a modified dual-mode mobility model than the conventional dual-mode mobility model in which the Henry's law and Langmuir populations execute four kinds of diffusive movement.

건습식방사법에 의한 폴리설폰중공사를 제조함에 있어 여러가지의 방사조건을 변화시켜 이에 따른 중공사의 다양한 구조를 검토하고 이들의 투과특성을 조사하였다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 인식하고 Polysulfone 중공사막의 제조시 여러가지의 방사조건을 세분하여 방사높이, 방사용액 및 내부응고제의 양의 변화등의 방사변수에 따른 구조 및 투과특성 그리고 내부스킨층만이 존재하는 중공사와 외부스킨층만이 존재하는 중공사를 제조할 수 있는 특정조건을 확립한 후 이들의 상전이공정에 따른 변수를 도입하여 중공사를 제조하여 그 투과성능을 상전이공정과 연결시켜 해석하였다.

1. 서론 : 상업적으로 널리 사용되고 있는 cellulose acetate, polysulfone 등과 같은 막 소재는 유기용매에 대한 화학적 안정성이 떨어지므로 새로운 막분리 소재가 필요로 되고 있다. 기계적 강도, 열적 안정성이 뛰어난 Polyimide 는 거의 모든 종류의 유기용매에 대한 안정성이 우수하여 비수계용 한외여과의 분야에서 높은 잠재력을 지니고 있다. 그러나 Polyimide 는 대부분의 유기용매에 녹지 않으므로 상전환방법에 의한 비대칭막을 제조하기가 어려웠다. (생략)

The fuel cells for portable application are attracted using a liquid fuel such as methanol and chemical hydride solutions. Recently, DBFC [Direct Borohydride Fuel Cell] is a candidate for power of portable electronic devices. In this work, the anion exchange membrane and non-precious catalyst for the DBFC were concerned. Anion-exchange membrane was fabricated by amination of polysulfone followed chloromethylation. Non-precious catalysts such as raney-Ni and Ag were used as an anode and cathode catalyst. The optimum conditions of catalyst slurry mixing and MEA fabrication were developed. The single cell performance using anion exchange membrane and non-precious catalyst was evaluated and the results were compared with cation exchange membrane [Nafion membrane] and precious catalysts.

Nanofiltration (NF) composite membranes based of poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and sodium alginate (SA) were prepared by coating PVA/SA (95/5 in wt %) mixture solutions on the microporous polysulfone (PS) supports, followed by the crosslinking with glutaraldehyed. The composite membranes prepared were characterized with a scanning electron microscopy (SEM), a fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR), an elecrtokinetic analyzer (EKA) and permeation tests.
