Abstract

This study was carried out for microfiltration tubular membrane module equipped with self-designed air injection nozzle in order to determine the permeate flux due to the effect of membrane fouling reduction. The 0.1 wt% yeast particle solution was used as a feed solution and permeation tests were performed for the cases with and without air injection. Permeation fluxes were measured and analyzed to examine the effect of membrane fouling reduction. While the permeation flux without air injection decreased continuously, that with air injection was improved more than 30 percent than that of no air injection case.

본 연구는 정밀여과용 관형 분리막 모듈 내에 자체 설계한 기체분사형 노즐을 장착하여 막오염 감소 효과에 따른 투과유속을 측정하였다. 원료 용액으로는 0.1 wt% yeast 입자를 사용하였으며 공기 주입에 따른 막오염 감소 효과를 확인하기 위하여 공기를 주입하지 않은 경우와 주입한 경우의 투과유속을 비교 분석하였다. 공기를 주입하지 않았을 경우 투과유속은 지속적으로 감소하였지만 공기를 주입할 경우 투과유속은 공기를 주입하지 않은 경우와 비교하여 30% 이상 향상됨을 확인하였다.
