Abstract

In this study, the pervaporation separation characteristics were investigated for the iso-propyl alcohol (IPA)-water system using PDMS dense membranes. The ratio, 9:1 and 10:1, of the basic material based on RTV-655 and crosslinking agent were used to prepare dense membranes at the reaction temperatures, 40, 60, and $80^{\circ}C$. And these resulting membranes were characterized by pervaporation technique in terms of permeabilities and separation factors for the feed composition of IPA 85 wt% at the operating temperatures, 25, 35, 45, and $55^{\circ}C$. Typical results of permeabilities $148g/m^2{\cdot}hr$ at $55^{\circ}C$ for 9:1 membrane and the selectivity 17 at $55^{\circ}C$ for 10:1 membrane were obtained, respectively.

PDMS 단일 막을 이용한 투과증발공정을 통해 이소프로필알코올(Isopropyl alcohol, IPA)-물계에 대한 분리특성을 알아보았다. RTV-655 주재와 가교제의 비율을 9:1과 10:1로 달리하고 반응온도를 40, 60, $80^{\circ}C$로 변화하여 경화시켰다. 이렇게 제조된 막을 이용하여 특성평가를 위해 물/IPA 혼합액에 대한 투과증발 실험을 수행하였다. 공급액의 조성은 85 wt% IPA 수용액을 사용하였으며, 온도는 25, 35, 45, $55^{\circ}C$로 변화시켰다. 공급액의 변화와 반응온도의 조건변화에 따른 투과도 및 IPA 농축농도를 측정하였는데, 투과도는 9:1 비율, 공급액 온도 $55^{\circ}C$일 때 $148g/m^2{\cdot}hr$, 선택도는 10:1 비율, 공급액 온도 $55^{\circ}C$일 때 17%로 가장 높은 값을 얻을 수 있었다.
