  • The pilot system for radioactive liquid laundry waste was developed with treatment capacity, 1ton/hr and set up in the Yong Kwang unit #4. The system is composed of tank module, RO systems and a UV/$H_2O$$_2$photo-oxidation unit. The RO system consists of the BW unit (low-pressure RO for brackish water desalination) and the SW unit (high-pressure RO for seawater desalination). The BW unit possesses 4 RO membranes and it can reduce the feed water volume down to 1/10. This concentrated feed water can be reduced again up to 1/10 in its volume in the SW unit composed of 4 RO membranes. The UV/$H_2O$$_2$ photo-oxidation process unit was used for the detergent degradation. The operation of the pilot system was carried out and verified in its capability through the continuous operation and concentration operation using the actual liquid waste from the power plant. The design criteria and data for industrialization were yielded. The efficiency of the UV/$H_2O$$_2$ photo-oxidation process and the optimum operational procedure were evaluated. The decontamination factors for radioactive cobalt and cesium were measured. This on-site test showed the experimental result in the DF$\geq$300 and volume reduction factor$\geq$100.

  • 폴리에스터(polyester) 부직포 상에 폴리술폰(polysulfone) 고분자 지지체를 만든 후, 그 표면에 폴리아미드 복합 박막을 형성시킴으로써 정삼투(FO) 공정에 적합한 분리막을 제조하였다. PSF 지지체는 19 중량%의 함량으로 디메틸 포름아미드(DMF)에 균일하게 용해된 폴리술폰 용액을 상 전이 공정을 통하여 제조되었으며, 기계적 보강재로 $100{\mu}m$의 두께를 가지는 폴리에스터 부직포를 사용하였다. 19 중량%의 PSF/DMF 용액으로 제조된 PSF 지지층은 sponge-like구조를 가지는 비대칭 내부 구조를 나타내었다. 정삼투(FO) 공정에서 내부의 농도 분극을 줄이기 위하여, $20{\mu}m$의 얇은 부직포 보강층을 가지는 지지체 상에 9~19 중량%의 PSF/DMF 용액으로 PSF 지지체를 제조하였다. 이들 얇은 부직포 보강층에서 제조된 지지층들은 공극률이 향상된 sponge-like구조를 가지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 각각의 지지층들 표면에 방향족 폴리아미드 가교 반응을 통하여 복합 박막을 얻을 수 있었다. FO 운전 결과, 12 중량%의 DMF/PSF 용액으로 제조한 지지체를 가지는 복합 박막이 가장 우수한 투과 성능을 보여 주었다. 이 경우 4.5 LMH의 유량과 3.47 GMH의 염의 역확산 속도를 가지는 역삼투 분리막에 사용되는 두꺼운 부직포에 비해 약 2.5배 유량이 많은 24.3 LMH의 유량과 1.5 GMH의 염의 역확산 속도를 보여주고 있다. 부직포의 두께 저하와 이에 적합한 PSF 캐스팅 용액의 최적화를 통하여 부직포와 PSF층의 경계면 공극률을 향상시킬 수 있었다.

  • 정삼투 공정에 유용한 유도용질로서 diethyl malonate를 사용한 citrate 계열의 유기 화합물을 합성하였다. 최종적으로 얻은 potassium pentane-1,3,3,5-tetracarboxylate는 $^1H-NMR$$^{13}C-NMR$을 통하여 확인하였다. 유도용질의 물성을 확인하기 위해 삼투압, 용해도, 수투과도, 역염 투과도를 측정하였다. 합성한 유도용액을 사용하여 정삼투 공정을 진행한 결과, 동일한 citrate 계열인 trisodium citrate 및 tripotassium citrate보다 높은 수투과량을 나타내었으며 염의 역확산 정도는 NaCl에 비하여 매우 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 합성된 유도용질의 삼투압은 NaCl보다 약 25% 낮았으나 물에 대한 용해도는 NaCl의 8.8배인 317 g/100 g water의 값을 나타내었다. 정삼투 종료 후 유도용질의 회수를 위해 상용화된 나노여과막을 사용하였고, 낮은 압력에서 효율적으로 회수가 가능하였다.

  • Membrane technology is widely employed as a means of producing various qualities of water from surface water, well water, brackish water and seawater. This is also used in industrial wastewater treatment and its recycling process. A large volume of wastewater is generated by the steel industry. Presently, the treated wastewater from the steel industry cannot be recycled, because some of its components cause either direct or indirect problems.(omitted)

  • Pressure retarded osmosis(PRO) has attracted much attention as potential technology to reduce the overall energy consumption for reverse osmosis(RO) desalination. The RO/PRO hybrid process is considered as the most logical next step for future desalination. The PRO process aims to harness the osmotic energy difference of two aqueous solutions separated by a semipermeable membrane. By using the concentrated water(RO brine) discharged from existing RO plants, the PRO process can effectively exploit a greater salinity gradient to reduce the energy cost of processing concentrated water. However, in order to use RO brine as the draw solution, PRO membrane must have high water flux and enough mechanical strength to withstand the high operational pressure. This study investigates the development of a thin film composite PRO membrane and spiral wound module for high power density. Also, the influence of membrane backing layer on the overall power density was studied using the characteristic factors of PRO membranes. Finally, the performance test of an 8-inch spiral wound module was carried out under various operating conditions(i.e. hydraulic pressure, flow rate, temperature). As the flow rate and temperature increased under the same hydraulic pressure, the PRO performance increased due to the growth of water permeability coefficient and osmotic pressure. For a high performance PRO system, in order to optimize the operating conditions, it is highly recommended that the flow pressure be minimized while the flow rate is maintained at a high level.

  • 해수담수화 시설에서 전처리와 역삼투막(reverse osmosis, RO) 공정의 유기물 제거특성을 살펴보고, 유기물의 특성변화가 막오염 지수에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 연구에서 비교된 전처리 공정은 다중여재여과(dual media filter, DMF), 가압형 정밀여과(MF), 침지형정밀여과(SMF) 이다. 유기물의 특성변화를 알아보기 위해 원수와 공정별 처리수의 탁도, $UVA_{254}$, DOC, size exclusion chromatography (SEC), fluorescence excitation emission matrix (FEEM), transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) 등을 분석하였다. 이온성 물질과 무기물 항목은 전처리 공정의 종류에 관계없이 처리되지 않았고 RO공정을 거치면서 99% 이상 제거되었다. 유기물에 의한 막오염에 큰 영향을 미치는 소수성 유기물은 전처리를 통해 상대적으로 제거가 용이하였다. 전처리 공정의 유기물 제거율은 막여과 공정(MF, SMF)이 기존 DMF 공정에 비해 높았다. 처리수내 유기물의 농도가 감소할수록 막오염지수 중 하나인 silt density index (SDI) 값도 감소하였다. MF로 전처리한 경우 SDI값이 가장 낮게 나타났는데, 처리수 내의 $0.1-0.4{\mu}m$ TEP 농도가 MF와 SMF 막오염지수의 차이와 상관관계를 보였다.

  • Complicated and expensive seawater desalination technology is a big challenge in boron removal process. Conventional seawater desalination process of coagulation utilized for pre-treatment is difficult to remove boron. Boron can be removed more effectively in Reverse Osmosis (RO) process than any other processes. In this study, a coagulant with the name Mineral Cluster was examined its boron removal ability. Boron removal efficiency of Mineral Cluster depended on pH value and Mineral Cluster dosage. Desalination process combines the pre-treatment process with Mineral cluster diluted at the ratio of 1:2500 and the RO membrane process. The original sea water could be desalinated to drinking water quality, 1 mg/L, without any pH adjustments. Therefore, if the Mineral cluster is added without any other chemicals for adjusting pH, the desalination process would be much safer, efficient and economical.

  • A novel thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) reverse osmosis (RO)/non-woven fabric (NWF) membrane was prepared by adding zinc oxide (ZnO) nanospheres ($30{\pm}10nm$) during the interfacial polymerization process of m-phenylenediamine (MPD) and trimesoyl chloride (TMC) on self-made polysulfone (PSF) membrane/polyester (PET) non-woven fabric support. The improved performance of TFN RO membrane was verified in terms of water contact angle (WCA), water flux, salt rejection, antifouling properties and chlorine resistance. The results showed that the WCA value of TFN RO surface had a continuous decrease with the increasing of ZnO content in MPD aqueous solution. The water flux of composite TFN RO membranes acquired a remarkable increase with a stable high solute rejection (94.5 %) in $1g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ NaCl aqueous solution under the optimized addition amount of ZnO (1 wt%). The continuous testing of membrane separation performance after the immersion in sodium hypochlorite solution indicated that the introduction of ZnO nanospheres also dramatically enhanced the antifouling properties and the chlorine resistance of composite RO membranes.

  • 정유산업 방출폐수를 재처리하여 양질의 공업용수로 활용하고자 역삼투막 및 공정으로 구성된 재활용 system을 고안하여 현장 pilot 실험을 수행하였다. 생산공정 운전상황에 따라 불규칙적으로 변하는 폐수 특성에도 불구하고 역삼투막의 경우 10~15$kg/cm^2$의 운전압력 범위내에서 96~99%정도의 비교적 높은 염배제율을 보였으며 본 실험을 통하여 얻은 재생수의 경우 냉각탑 공급용수로써의 충분한 가능성을 보여 주었다. 그러나 본 연구에서 제안 사용된 여과형 전처리 공정만으로는 충분한 처리효율을 기대하기 어려웠으며, 이는 각 여과공정법 처리수의 수질분석 결과 및 NaOH를 이용한 역삼투막 세정 결과로부터 쉽게 확인되었다.

  • Purpose: This study proposes a process for evaluating the preventive maintenance policy for a system with degradation characteristics and for calculating the appropriate preventive maintenance cycle using time- and condition-based maintenance. Methods: First, the collected data is divided into the maintenance history lifetime and degradation lifetime, and analysis datasets are extracted through preprocessing. Particle filter algorithm is used to estimate the degradation lifetime from analysis datasets and prior information is obtained using LSE. The suitability and cost of the existing preventive maintenance policy are each evaluated based on the degradation lifetime and by using a minimum repair block replacement model of time-based maintenance. Results: The process is applied to the degradation of the reverse osmosis (RO) membrane in a seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) plant to evaluate the existing preventive maintenance policy. Conclusion: This method can be used for facilities or systems that undergo degradation, which can be evaluated in terms of cost and time. The method is expected to be used in decision-making for devising the optimal preventive maintenance policy.
