Abstract

To investigate the performance of VOC separation, composite hollow fiber membrane was prepared which composed of poly (ether imide) support prepared by phase separation method and poly (dimethylsiloxane) coating active layer. The performances of the membranes for the application of recovery process in terms of their morphology, gas permeance test for $N_2$ and $O_2$ gases. Durability against benzene, toluene and xylene was also investigated. And permeation test for multi-component VOCS through the membrane with different feed concentration and stage-cut were investigated. Permeance of PEI supported membrane and the membranes coated with PDMS decreased from 45,000 GPU to 63 GPU and 49,450 to 30 GPU for $N_2$ and $O_2$, respectively. Recovery efficiency and concentration of VOCs in permeate increased with decreasing stage-cut. VOCs concentration in permeate proportionally increased with increasing feed concentration but concentration ratio and recovery efficiency showed any noticeable changes with feed concentration change.

다성분계 휘발성 유기화합물(VOCs; Volatile Organic Compounds)의 분리를 위하여 상전이법을 이용하여 방사한 poly (ether imide) (PEI) 중공사 지지체에 poly (dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS)를 코팅하여 중공사 복합막을 제조하였다. VOCs 회수용 중공사막으로서 적합성을 알아보기 위해서 중공사막의 모폴로지, 질소 및 산소 기체 투과도를 측정하고, 벤젠, 톨루엔 그리고 자일렌에 대한 내구성을 조사하였다. 다성분계 휘발성 유기화합물의 효과적인 분리성능을 조사하기 위하여 Stage-cut과 feed 농도에 따른 다성분계 VOCs 투과 성능 변화를 관찰하였다. PEI 지지체 중공사막에 PDMS를 코팅시킴에 따라 산소와 질소 투과도는 각각 45,000 GPU와 49,450 GPU에서 63 GPU와 30 GPU로 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. VOCs 투과농도는 Stage-cut이 감소함에 따라 증가하나, 회수율은 감소하였다. 반면에 공급농도 증가에 따라 투과농도는 비례적으로 증가하였지만, 농축비나 회수율은 큰 변화가 없었다.
