본 연구에서는 물과 전기의 동시 생산이 가능한 pressure retarded membrane distillation (PRMD)의 폐루프식 구성 디자인을 기수담수화에 적용해 최적 운전 조건과 성능 평가를 수행하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 80 ℃ 이상의 폐열이 공급될 때 순 에너지 생산량이 양수 값을 보이며 90 ℃ 이상일 때 안정적인 전력 생산이 가능한 것을 확인할 수 있었고 최적 유입수 유량은 0.6 kg/s를 나타냈다. 이 조건에서 3 g/L의 기수가 유입될 때 순 에너지 생산량은 2.56 W/m², 물 플럭스는 8.04 kg/m²/hr의 값을 나타냈다. 기수의 농도가 1-3 g/L로 변화할 때 물 플럭스나 에너지 생산량은 큰 변화가 나타나지 않았고, 해수가 유입수로 사용될 때와 비교하면 더 높은 물 플럭스와 순 에너지 생산량을 보였다. 이를 통해 에너지 생산이라는 측면에 집중한다면 기수를 사용해서 PRMD를 운전하는 것이 더 효율적이라는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구는 비료를 이용한 정삼투식 해수담수화에서 가장 적합한 유도용액을 찾기 위한 연구이다. 이를 위하여 삼투압, 용해도 및 pH를 고려하여 20종의 혼합 비료를 선정하고, 수투과선속과 질소, 인 및 칼륨의 역용질선속과 비역용질선속을 측정하여 각 혼합비료 유도용액의 성능을 평가하였다. KCl을 함유한 혼합비료의 수투과선속이 다른 혼합비료에 비해 높게 나타났다. ${NO_3}^-$를 함유한 혼합비료 유도용액의 질소 역용질선속과 비역용질선속은 ${NO_3}^-$를 함유하지 않은 혼합비료 용액에 비해 상대적으로 높게 나타났다. 또한 $NH_4H_2PO_4$ 및 $KNO_3$를 각각 함유한 혼합비료 유도용액의 인 및 칼륨에 대한 역용질선속과 비역용질선속은 $NH_4H_2PO_4$ 및 $KNO_3$를 함유하지 않은 혼합비료 용액에 비해 상대적으로 높게 나타났다. $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$와 KCl의 혼합비료 유도용액은 비료의 필수성분인 질소, 인 및 칼륨을 모두 포함하고 있고, 수투과선속이 클 뿐만 아니라 질소, 인 및 칼륨에 대한 역용질선속이 작아 정삼투식 해수담수화용 유도용액의 유도물질로서 가장 적합하다고 판단된다.

Membrane distillation process was used for desalination of hot (333 K) geothermal water, which was applied in the plant producing heating water. The investigated water contained 120 g salts/$dm^3$, mainly NaCl. The mineral composition was studied using an ion chromatography method. The obtained rejection of solutes was closed to 100%, but the small amounts of $NH_3$ also diffused through the membrane together with water vapour. However, the composition of obtained distillate allowed to use it as a makeup water in the heating water system. The geothermal water under study was concentrated from 120 to 286 g NaCl/$dm^3$. This increase in the solution concentration caused the permeate flux decline by a 10-20%. The geothermal water contained sulphates, which was subjected to two-fold concentration to achieve the concentration 2.4-2.6 g $SO{_4}{^{2-}}/dm^3$ and the sulphates then crystallized in the form of calcium sulphate. As a results, an intensive membranes scaling and the permeate flux decline was observed. The XRD analysis indicated that beside the gypsum also the NaCl crystallites were deposited on the membrane surfaces. The fresh geothermal water dissolved the mixed $CaSO_4$ and NaCl deposit from the membrane surface. This property can be utilized for self-cleaning of MD modules. Using a batch feeding of MD installation, the concentration of geothermal water was carried out over 800 h, without significant performance losses.

혼합 비료를 유도용액으로 하는 정삼투식 해수담수화에서 담수화 성능에 대한 유도용액 농도의 영향을 조사하였다. 혼합비료용액(DS)의 농도가 증가함에 따라 수투과선속은 거의 선형적으로 증가하였으나, PR (performance ratio)은 감소하였다. 또한 혼합비료용액의 농도가 600 g/L일 때, 해수 및 탈이온수를 각각 공급용액으로 하였을 경우 각각의 PR은 5.39 및 6.50이었다. 혼합비료용액의 농도가 증가함에 따라 N, P 및 K의 역용질선속은 거의 선형적으로 증가하였으나, 비역용질선속은 감소하였다. 역용질선속과 비역용질선속은 모두 질소(N) > 칼륨(K) > 인(P) 순으로 높게 나타났다.

정삼투막 공정을 이용한 소금 및 수크로오스 용액의 처리에서 농도분극현상이 투과유속에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 정삼투 공정에서 투과 유속감소는 주로 분리막 표면에서의 농도분극에 기인하며, 분리막의 지지층에서 발생한 내부농도분극에 의한 투과유속 감속이 활성층에서 발생한 외부농도분극에 의한 것 보다 더 컸다. 순수 투과유속은 삼투압이 증가함에 따라 비선형적으로 증가하였다. NaCl 용액의 활성층 배향(DS-AL)에서의 수 투과계수는 $1.8081{\times}10^{-7}m/s{\cdot}atm$, 지지층 배향(DS-SL)의 경우 $1.0957{\times}10^{-7}m/s{\cdot}atm$ 이었으며, 이로부터 산출된 막저항은 각각 $5.5306{\times}10^6s{\cdot}atm/m$, $9.1266{\times}10^6s{\cdot}atm/m$ 이었다. 수크로오스 용액의 경우 활성층 배향(DS-AL)에서의 투과유속이 지지층 배향(DS-SAL)에서의 투과유속보다 1.33~1.90배 크게 나타났다. 삼투압(${\pi}$)에 대한 투과유속(J)의 변화는 전자의 경우 $J=-0.0177+0.4506{\pi}-0.0032{\pi}^2$, 후자의 경우 $J=0.0948+0.3292{\pi}-0.0037{\pi}^2$으로 표현될 수 있었다.

This study investigated the phenomena of membrane fouling by NOM and the effect of the fouling on removal of micro-pollutants. NOM has a great effect on decline of permeate flux. Permeate flow rate was reduced by 88% in RO and 34.8% in NF for 323hr operation period. Removal rate of $UV_{254}$, is 87.4% in RO and 78.5% in NF and removal rate of DOC is 42.7% in RO and 32.9% in NF for 2mg/l humic acid. Removal efficiency of the micro-pollutants by the RO and NF membranes fouled by humic acid was mostly lower than that by the new membrane. The concentration polarization which affects the flux and the rejection was thought to occur in the active layer of the membrane, as the membrane was getting fouled.

Nanofiltration[NF45] and reverse osmosis membrane(HR98PP) separation treatment of dyestuff wastewater was carried out In order to separate relatively pure water from synthetic dyestuff wastewater, which consists of reactive dye, acid dye, basic dye, direct dye, and disperse dye. The experiments were performed by using the plate and frame membrane module. In the nanofiltration and reverse osmosis membrane separation, When the NaCl concentration was 0.1, 5.0, and 20.091, retention was 63.0, 46.0, 0.9%, respectively. When permeate flux was 125.0, 67.5, and 45.0 L/$m^2$ h, the osmotic pressure increased with Increasing the NaCl concentration. Permeate flux of two membranes Increased as temperature Increased due to segmental movement of polymer of the membrane and the rejection rate of dyestuff was decreased gradually. It was found that the rejection rate was about 95% in the nanofiltratlon, while the reverse osmosis membrane showed a high rejection rate of 99% under all temperature and pressures conditions.

In the process of crossflow microfiltration, a deposit of cake layer tends to form on the membrane, which usually controls the performance of filtration. It is found, however, that there exist a condition under which no deposit of cake layer is made. This condition is called the sub-critical flux condition, and the critical flux here means a flux below which a decline of flux with time due to the deposit of cake layer does not occur. In order to study the characteristics of the critical flux, a numerical model is developed to predict the critical flux condition, and is verified with experimental results. For development of the model, the concept of effective particle diameter is introduced to find a representative size of various particles in relation to diffusive properties of particles. The model is found to be in good match with the experimental results. The findings from the use of the model include that the critical flux condition is determined by the effective particle diameter and the ratio of initial permeate flux to crossflow velocity.

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.

Membrane distillation (MD) is one of the water treatment processes which involves the momentum, heat and mass transfer through channels and membrane. In this study, CFD modeling has been used to simulate the heat and mass transfer in the direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD). Also, the effect of operating parameters on the water flux is investigated. The result shows a good agreement with the experimental result. Results indicated that, while feed temperature is increasing in the feed side, water flux improves in the permeate side. Since higher velocity leads to the higher mixing and turbulence in the feed channel, water flux rises due to this increase in the feed velocity. Moreover, results revealed that temperature polarization coefficient is rising as flow rate (velocity) increases and it is decreasing while the feed temperature increases. Lastly, the thermal efficiency of direct contact membrane distillation is defined, and results confirm that thermal efficiency improves while feed temperature increases. Also, flow rate increment results in enhancement of thermal efficiency.
