고도정수처리를 위한 관형 세라믹 정밀여과와 이산화티타늄(TiO2) 광촉매 첨가 PES (polyethersulfone) 구의 혼성 공정에서 역세척 주기(FT)와 역세척 시간(BT)의 영향을 막오염에 의한 저항(Rf) 및 투과선속(J), 총여과부피(VT) 측면에서 기 존의 질소 역세척 결과와 비교하였다. FT가 짧아질수록 Rf는 감소하고 J와 VT는 증가하였다. 탁도의 처리효율은 물과 질소 역세척 모두 NBF (no back-flushing)에서 최대이고, FT가 짧아질수록 처리효율이 다소 증가하였다. 유기물질 처리효율은 물 역세척 시 FT 4분에서 최대이었으나, 질소 역세척 시 FT가 짧아질수록 증가하였다. BT가 길어질수록 Rf와 가역적 막오염 저 항(Rrf)은 감소하고, J와 VT는 증가하였다. 탁도 처리효율은 물 역세척 시 98% 이상으로 거의 일정하였으나, 질소 역세척 시 NBF를 제외하고 BT가 길어질수록 증가하였다. 유기물질 처리효율은 물 역세척시 BT 6초에서 최대이고, 질소 역세척 시 NBF를 제외하고 BT가 길어질수록 증가하였다. BT 30초와 FT 2분에서 최대 VT값을 나타내어서, 본 실험 범위에서 최적 조 건은 FT 2분마다 BT 30초이다.
The effect of water back-flushing period (FT) and water back-flushing time (BT) was compared with the previous study of nitrogen back-flushing in viewpoints of resistance of membrane fouling (Rf), permeate flux (J), and total permeate volume (VT) in hybrid process of tubular ceramic microfiltration and PES (polyethersulfone) beads loaded TiO2 photocatalyst for advanced drinking water treatment. As FT decreasing, Rf decreased, but J and VT increased. Turdity treatment efficiency was the maximum at NBF (no back-flushing) and increased a little as FT decreasing in both water and nitrogen back-flushing. Organic matter treatment efficiency was the maximum at FT 4 min in water back-flushing, but increased as FT decreasing in nitrogen back-flushing. As BT increasing, Rf and resistance of reversible membrane fouling (Rrf) decreased, but J and VT increased. The turdity treatment efficiency was almost constant beyond 98% in water back-flushing, but increased as BT increasing except NBF in nitrogen. The organic matter treatment efficiency was the maximum at BT 6 sec in water back-flushing, but increased as BT increasing except NBF in nitrogen. The VT was the maximum at BT 30 and FT 2 min, and optimal condition was BT 30 sec per FT 2 min in this experimental range.
