Abstract

In the study, excess of lime-soda ash(L-S) was added to groundwater for chemical precipitation of hardness ions. After formation of the coagulated flocs, sedimentation step was replaced with crossflow ultrafiltration(UF) process using tubular ceramic membrane. As results, our treated water was below total hardness(TH) 10 mg/L as $CaCO_3$ from groundwater using washing water in a soymilk factory. Then, we investigated the change of permeat flux(J) and dimensionless permeate flux($J/J_0$) during experiments for variations of TMP(Trans-membrane pressure) or flow rate, to see effect of TMP or flow rate on membrane fouling by the coagulated Inorganic flocs. In the result, membrane fouling and rejection rate of total hardness were not affected by TMP and flow rate variations in the range of our experiments.

본 연구에서는 경도 이온의 화학적 침전을 위하여 지하수에 과량의 Lime-Soda ash를 주입하여 플럭(floc)을 형성한 다음 침전과정을 십자흐름(Crossflow) 방식의 관형 세라믹 분리막을 이용한 한외여과(UF) 공정으로 대체하였다. 그 결과 두유 포장팩 세척수로 사용하고 있는 지하수의 총경도를 10 mg/L as $CaCO_3$ 이하로 감소시킬 수 있었다. 한편, TMP(Trans-membrane pressure) 및 유량 변화 실험에서 투과선속(Permeate flux, J) 및 무차원한 투과선속($J/J_0$) 변화를 조사하여, TMP 및 유량이 무기물로 형성된 응집 플럭에 의한 막오염에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 그 결과, 본 실험 범위에서 TMP 및 유량 변화가 막오염과 총경도 제거율에 미치는 영향은 거의 없었다.
