Abstract
고성능 분리막 제조기술과 더불어 새로운 분리막 다단공정 설계를 통해 용매사용량 감소 및 선택도 향상이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 내용매성 셀룰로스 나노분리막을 제조하여 용매에 따른 용질의 선택도 차이를 비교하였다. 제막한 셀룰로스 막을 기반으로 비극성 용매의 선택도 평가를 진행하였으며, 비극성 용매에서 용질에 대한 음배제율이 관측되었다. 특히,분자량이 클수록 음배제율이 높아지는 역선택도의 거동을 확인하였다. 이를 기반으로 설계한 공정에서는 기존 분획 공정 대비 3배 이상의 용매저감이 가능한 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
Apart from developing better membranes, a clever reconfiguration of membrane cascade process can improvethe solute selectivity and minimize solvent consumption. In this work, solvent resistant cellulose nanofiltration membraneswere fabricated and the solute rejection performance in various organic solvents were tested. Interestingly, cellulose membranesexhibited unique negative rejection profile in non-polar solvents. Such trend could be exploited to yield reverse selectivity,which showed that low molecular weight solute could be concentrated in the retentate. It was found that more than3-fold solvent saving could be achieved at the same final purity.
