Abstract

Hydrophobic porous PVDF hollow fiber membranes for Membrane Distillation (MD) were fabricated by a combination of thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) and stretching. The purpose of this study is to investigate the shape and operating conditions of the module and the effect of piping size on parallel connection. In the optimization experiment of the vacuum membrane distillation module, the flux decreased as the packing density and length of the membrane in the module increased. When the module was connected vertically, it was confirmed that the nearest to the inlet of the vacuum port was the highest flux. In selecting the size of the header pipe of the module, it was confirmed that the maximum flux is shown when the inner diameter area of the hollow fiber membrane and the inner diameter area of the header pipe are the same. Also, it is necessary to find the optimal linear velocity because the higher the linear velocity in the module, the higher the flux, but the pressure acting on the module also increases proportionally.

열유도상분리법(TIPS) 및 연신의 복합공정으로 막증류(Membrane distillation, MD)용의 소수성 및 다공성 PVDF 중공사 분리막을 제조하였다. 제조된 분리막을 막증류 공정에 적용하여 처리수량을 극대화하기 위한 방안으로 모듈의 형태와 운전조건 및 병렬 연결 시 배관의 크기 영향을 확인하고자 하였다. 진공 막증류 모듈의 최적화 실험에서는 모듈 내 분리막의 충진율과 길이가 증가할수록 플럭스는 감소하며, 진공포트의 위치는 모듈을 수직으로 연결하였을 때 원수의 inlet 방향에 위치할수록 플럭스 측면에서 가장 유리한 것으로 확인되었다. 모듈의 헤더배관의 크기선정에서는 중공사막의 내경면적과 헤더배관의 내경면적이 동일할 경우 최대 플럭스를 나타냄을 확인할 수 있었으며, 모듈 내 선속도가 높을수록 높은 플럭스를 나타내지만 모듈에 작용하는 압력 역시 비례하여 증가하기 때문에 최적 선속도를 찾는 것이 필요하다.
