Abstract

In this study, we prepared nanofiltration membrane by applying the interfacial polymerization method as a way of manufacturing composite membranes. We have examined the effects of various preparation factors such as monomer concentration and composition, thermal curing condition, post treatment condition. In addition to preparation conditions, we also monitored the effects of operation conditions such as feed solution concentration and operation pressure on the permeation properties of the resulting nanofiltration membrane. We intended to increase the permeation rate of nanofiltration membrane by the enlargement of effective surface area using additives during interfacial polymerization step. With increasing the monomer concentration, membrane permeation rate are decreased with maintaining almost constant rejection. With respect to curing condition, with increasing the curing temperature both permeation rate and rejection are decreased. With increasing the ratio of MPD in amino monomer composition, permeation rate decreased drastically with high rejection. With increasing the feed solution concentration, both permeation rate and rejection decreased. Both permeation rates and rejection increased with increasing the operating pressure. Nanofiltration membrane have higher surface roughness with increasing additive concentration in the case of using MPD contained amine composition than using piperazine alone. Permeation rates are much lower than the nanofiltration membrane prepared by piperazine.

본 연구에서는 복합막의 제조공법으로 가장 광범위하게 쓰이는 계면중합법을 이용하여 나노복합막을 제조하였다. Monomer의 농도 및 조성, curing 조건, 후처리 조건과 같은 복합막 제조조건과, 운전압력, 공급액의 농도와 같은 운전인자에 의한 막성능 변화를 조사하였고, 계면중합 과정중에 첨가제를 사용하여 막의 유효면적을 확대하여 투과유속을 증가시키고자 하였다. Monomer의 농도가 증가함에 따라 배제능은 일정하였지만 투과유속이 감소하였고, curing 온도가 증가함에 따라서는 오히려 안정적인 박막층의 형성이 저해되어서 배제능과 투과유속이 모두 감소하였고, curing 시간에 따른 막성능의 변화는 나타나지 않았다. Test solution의 농도가 올라감에 따라서 투과유속과 배제능 모두 감소하였으며, 운전압력이 증가함에 따라서는 배제능과 투과유속 모두 향상하는 경향을 보였다. 계면중합과정중에 사용하는 아민단량체(amine monomer) 중 방향족 다이아민(aromatic amine)인 MPD의 함량을 높임에 따라서 배제능은 증가하였지만 투과유속은 현저하게 떨어졌다. 첨가제의 농도에 따른 표면 거칠기 증가 경향은 MPD가 포함된 amine 조성일 때가 더 높았지만 투과유속은 piperazine만 단독으로 사용하였을 때보다 떨어졌다.
