초록

해수담수화 시설에서 전처리와 역삼투막(reverse osmosis, RO) 공정의 유기물 제거특성을 살펴보고, 유기물의 특성변화가 막오염 지수에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 연구에서 비교된 전처리 공정은 다중여재여과(dual media filter, DMF), 가압형 정밀여과(MF), 침지형정밀여과(SMF) 이다. 유기물의 특성변화를 알아보기 위해 원수와 공정별 처리수의 탁도, $UVA_{254}$, DOC, size exclusion chromatography (SEC), fluorescence excitation emission matrix (FEEM), transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) 등을 분석하였다. 이온성 물질과 무기물 항목은 전처리 공정의 종류에 관계없이 처리되지 않았고 RO공정을 거치면서 99% 이상 제거되었다. 유기물에 의한 막오염에 큰 영향을 미치는 소수성 유기물은 전처리를 통해 상대적으로 제거가 용이하였다. 전처리 공정의 유기물 제거율은 막여과 공정(MF, SMF)이 기존 DMF 공정에 비해 높았다. 처리수내 유기물의 농도가 감소할수록 막오염지수 중 하나인 silt density index (SDI) 값도 감소하였다. MF로 전처리한 경우 SDI값이 가장 낮게 나타났는데, 처리수 내의 $0.1-0.4{\mu}m$ TEP 농도가 MF와 SMF 막오염지수의 차이와 상관관계를 보였다.

This study investigated removal characteristics of organic matters in pretreatment and reverse osmosis (RO) membrane processes for seawater desalination. Also, the influence of the changes in characteristics of organic matters on the membrane fouling was assessed. The pretreatment processes included dual media filtration (DMF), pressurized membrane filtration (MF), and submerged membrane filtration (SMF). Turbidity, UV absorption at 254 nm, dissolved organic carbon, size exclusion chromatography (SEC), fluorescence excitation emission matrix (FEEM), and transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) in raw and processed waters were analyzed. Ions and minerals were not removed by any pretreatment process tested, but were removed over 99% through the RO membrane process. Hydrophobic organics, which can play major role in organic membrane fouling, were relatively readily removed compared with hydrophilic ones. Membrane based pretreatment such as MF and SMF exhibited better removals of organics than conventional DMF. As the levels of organics in pretreated water decreased, the silt density index (SDI) decreased. MF treated water exhibited the lowest SDI value; this is possibly due to the lowest TEP ($0.1-0.4{\mu}m$) concentrations.
