Description
본 발명은 폴리에틸렌글리콜 빈용매를 사용하는 열유도 상 분리법을 이용하여 제조된 아세틸화된 알킬 셀룰로스 분리막과 이 분리막의 제조방법에 관한 것이다.
The present invention relates to an acetylated alkyl cellulose separation membrane prepared using a thermally induced phase separation method using a polyethylene glycol poor solvent and a method for preparing the separation membrane.
최근 정수처리공정에서 수질의 신뢰성 및 용이한 자동화 등을 이유로 분리막을 이용하는 것에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 정수처리에 사용되는 분리막은 강한 내구성 등이 요구되며, 이와 더불어 막오염 저항성이 크게 요구된다. 일반적인 분리막 소재로서 폴리설폰(PSF), 폴리에틸렌(PE), 폴리프로필렌(PP), 폴리비닐리덴플루오라이드(PVDF)가 알려져 있지만, 이들 고분자 소재는 소수성의 성질을 띠고 있어 막 오염성이 취약하다는 단점이 있다. 따라서, 수처리용 분리막으로서 요구되는 막 오염 저항성을 만족시킬 수 있는 새로운 친수성 고분자 소재의 분리막 개발이 필요하다.Recently, the interest in using a separation membrane due to the reliability and easy automation of water quality in the water treatment process has increased. Separation membrane used for water purification treatment is required to have a strong durability, etc., and also a membrane fouling resistance is greatly required. Polysulfone (PSF), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) are known as general separator materials. However, these polymer materials have hydrophobic properties and thus have a weak point of membrane contamination. have. Therefore, there is a need to develop a membrane of a new hydrophilic polymer material that can satisfy the membrane fouling resistance required as a separator for water treatment.
친수성 고분자 분리막 소재로서 셀룰로스 아세테이트가 잘 알려져 있다. 이들 친수성 고분자 소재를 이용한 분리막은 막 오염에 대한 저항성은 우수하지만, 기계적 강도가 떨어지는 문제점을 갖고 있다. 이에 막 오염 저항성이 높은 친수성 고분자를 분리막 소재로 적용하기 위해서는 기계적 강도 개선이라는 또 다른 개선이 요구된다. Cellulose acetate is well known as a hydrophilic polymer separator material. Membranes using these hydrophilic polymer materials are excellent in resistance to membrane contamination, but have a problem of poor mechanical strength. Accordingly, in order to apply a hydrophilic polymer having high membrane fouling resistance as a separator material, another improvement of mechanical strength is required.
기계적 강도가 우수한 다공성 분리막의 제조방법으로서, 열유도 상 분리법(Thermal Induced Phase Seperation; TIPS)이 있다. 열유도 상 분리법은 크게 고체-액체 상 분리법과 액체-액체 상 분리법으로 구분된다. 한국등록특허 제805,977호에는 고체-액체 상분리법을 이용하여 폴리비닐리덴플루오라이드 고분자를 이용하여 고강도 중공사막을 제조하는 방법이 개시되어 있고, 한국등록특허 제966,718호에는 액체-액체 상분리법을 이용하여 폴리비닐리덴플루오라이드 고분자를 이용하여 고강도 중공사막을 제조하는 방법이 개시되어 있다. 그러나 상기에서 설명한 바와 같이 기존의 소수성 고분자 소재를 이용하여 열유도 상 분리법(TIPS)으로 분리막을 제조하는 경우, 기계적 물성은 만족시킬 수 있겠으나 소수성 고분자 소재의 사용으로 인하여 막 오염 저항성이 취약하다는 문제점은 여전히 남아 있다.As a method of manufacturing a porous membrane having excellent mechanical strength, there is a thermal induced phase separation (TIPS). Thermally induced phase separation is largely divided into solid-liquid phase separation and liquid-liquid phase separation. Korean Patent No. 805,977 discloses a method for preparing a high strength hollow fiber membrane using a polyvinylidene fluoride polymer using a solid-liquid phase separation method, and Korean Patent No. 966,718 uses a liquid-liquid phase separation method. A method of producing a high strength hollow fiber membrane using a polyvinylidene fluoride polymer is disclosed. However, as described above, when the membrane is manufactured by thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) using the existing hydrophobic polymer material, mechanical properties may be satisfied, but the membrane fouling resistance is weak due to the use of the hydrophobic polymer material. Still remains.
한편, Fu 등은 Desalination 233호에서 셀룰로스 아세테이트 부티레이트(cellulose acetate butyrate) 소재를 이용하여 열유도 상 분리법으로 중공사막을 제조하였으나, 고강도 특성을 갖는 분리막을 얻지 못하였다.
On the other hand, Fu et al. Prepared a hollow fiber membrane using a thermally induced phase separation method using cellulose acetate butyrate in Desalination 233, but did not obtain a separation membrane having high strength characteristics.

본 발명은 분리막 소재로 아세틸화된 알킬 셀룰로스를 선택 사용한데 기술적 특징이 있다. 친수성 고분자로 알려진 셀룰로스 아세테이트를 소재로 사용한 분리막은 기계적 강도가 열악하여 막의 두께를 어느 정도 이상으로 증가시켜야 하고, 막의 두께가 증가됨에 따라 투과유량이 감소하고 모듈면적이 감소되어 모듈 효율성이 떨어지는 단점이 있다. 그러나, 본 발명은 아세틸화된 알킬 셀룰로스를 사용하여 열유도 상 분리법(TIPS)으로 분리막을 제조함으로써, 기계적 강도가 우수하면서 고분자 소재 본연의 친수성으로 인하여 막 오염 저항성을 유지할 수 있다.The present invention has a technical feature of using acetylated alkyl cellulose as a separator material. Separation membranes made of cellulose acetate, known as hydrophilic polymers, have poor mechanical strength and must increase the thickness of the membrane to some extent, and as the thickness of the membrane increases, the permeate flow rate decreases and the module area decreases, thereby reducing module efficiency. have. However, according to the present invention, the membrane is prepared by thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) using acetylated alkyl cellulose, thereby maintaining membrane fouling resistance due to the excellent hydrophilicity of the polymer material with excellent mechanical strength.
본 발명에서와 같이 친수성 고분자 소재를 사용하여 열유도 상 분리법(TIPS)을 적용하기 위해서는 최적의 빈용매를 선택 사용하는 기술이 중요하다. 이에, 본 발명은 아세틸화된 알킬 셀룰로스를 열유도 상 분리법(TIPS)에 적용하기 위하여 빈용매로서 폴리에틸렌글리콜(PEG)을 선택 사용한 점도 특징이 있다. 폴리에틸렌글리콜(PEG)은 일반적으로 다공성 분리막 제조를 위한 기공형성제로서 사용되어 왔으나, 고분자와의 용해도가 떨어져서 다량 사용할 경우 고분자 용액 제조가 불가하고 강도가 떨어지는 단점이 있다. 그러나, 본 발명에서는 아세틸화된 알킬 셀룰로스의 빈용매로 폴리에틸렌글리콜(PEG)을 선택 사용함으로써 열유도 상 분리법(TIPS) 적용이 가능하였고, 이로써 기계적 강도가 우수한 분리막을 제조할 수 있었다.As in the present invention, in order to apply TIPS using a hydrophilic polymer material, a technique of selecting an optimal poor solvent is important. Accordingly, the present invention is characterized in that polyethylene glycol (PEG) is selected as a poor solvent in order to apply acetylated alkyl cellulose to thermally induced phase separation (TIPS). Polyethylene glycol (PEG) has been generally used as a pore-forming agent for the manufacture of porous separators, but has a disadvantage in that the polymer solution cannot be manufactured and its strength is low when a large amount of the polymer is inferior in solubility with the polymer. However, in the present invention, by using polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a poor solvent of acetylated alkyl cellulose, thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) can be applied, and thus, a membrane having excellent mechanical strength can be prepared.
본 발명의 수처리용 분리막의 제조방법은 상기 아세틸화된 알킬 셀룰로스를 용융점 근처에서 폴리에틸렌글리콜의 빈용매에 녹인 후, 비용매에서 상전이시켜서 제조하는 것을 그 특징으로 한다. 제조방식은 열유도 상 분리법(TIPS)이며 상세하게는 액체-액체 상 분리법을 이용한다. The method for producing a membrane for water treatment of the present invention is characterized in that the acetylated alkyl cellulose is dissolved in a poor solvent of polyethylene glycol near the melting point and then prepared by phase shifting in a non-solvent. The production method is thermally induced phase separation (TIPS), and in particular, liquid-liquid phase separation.
이러한 본 발명을 더욱 구체적으로 설명하면 다음과 같다.The present invention will be described in more detail as follows.
먼저, 아세틸화된 알킬 셀룰로스와 폴리에틸렌글리콜의 빈용매를 혼합하여 고분자 용액을 제조한다.First, a poor solution of acetylated alkyl cellulose and polyethylene glycol is mixed to prepare a polymer solution.
본 발명이 사용하는 아세틸화된 알킬 셀룰로스는 친수성의 성질을 띠고 있어 유기물질에 의한 막 오염이 적게 일어나고, 높은 투과율을 나타낸다. 상기 아세틸화된 알킬 셀룰로스로는 중량평균분자량이 5만 내지 2백만 범위, 바람직하기로는 20만 내지 100만 범위로 비교적 분자량이 큰 고분자를 사용하는 것이 바람직하다. 만약, 아세틸화된 알킬 셀룰로스의 중량평균분자량이 5만 미만이면 방사 후 강도가 매우 약하여 분리막으로의 사용이 어렵고, 중량평균분자량이 2백만을 초과하면 빈용매를 이용하여 열유도 상분리법을 사용할 경우 점도가 너무 높아서 방사용액 제조가 어렵기 때문이다. 또한, 본 발명이 사용하는 아세틸화된 알킬 셀룰로스는 탄소수 1 내지 3의 알킬기와 아세틸기로 치환된 셀룰로스를 일컫는다. 즉, 셀룰로스 단위구조(unit) 내에는 3개의 히드록시기가 결합되어 있고, 상기의 히드록시기 3개 중 일부가 알킬 또는 아세틸로 치환된 셀룰로스를 본 발명에서는 '아세틸화된 알킬 셀룰로스'로 부른다. 상기한 아세틸화된 알킬 셀룰로스로는 셀룰로스의 단위구조(unit) 당 알킬기와 아세틸기의 치환도는 각각 1.0 내지 2.0 몰비 범위인 것을 사용한다. 아세틸화된 알킬 셀룰로스를 분리막 소재로 사용함에 있어, 아세틸화도가 너무 낮으면 열유도 상 분리법(TIPS)에 적용되어 분리막을 제조한 후 세척과정에서 고분자가 팽윤되어 용출될 수 있으므로 아세틸화도는 1.0 몰비 이상을 유지하는 것이 좋다. 본 발명이 사용하는 아세틸화된 알킬 셀룰로스의 제조방법은 일반적인 방법으로, 예를 들면 알킬 셀룰로스를 무수 아세트산 또는 아세틸 클로라이드(AcCl) 등의 아세틸화제를 이용하여 아세틸화 반응시키는 과정에 의해 제조할 수 있다. Acetylated alkyl cellulose used in the present invention has hydrophilic properties, so that membrane contamination by organic substances is less likely to occur, and exhibits high transmittance. As the acetylated alkyl cellulose, it is preferable to use a polymer having a relatively high molecular weight in a weight average molecular weight in the range of 50,000 to 2 million, preferably in the range of 200,000 to 1 million. If the weight average molecular weight of the acetylated alkyl cellulose is less than 50,000, the strength after spinning is very low, making it difficult to use as a separator. If the weight average molecular weight exceeds 2 million, the thermally induced phase separation method using a poor solvent is used. This is because the viscosity is so high that it is difficult to prepare a spinning solution. In addition, the acetylated alkyl cellulose used in the present invention refers to cellulose substituted with an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms and an acetyl group. That is, cellulose in which three hydroxy groups are bonded in a cellulose unit structure and some of the three hydroxy groups are substituted with alkyl or acetyl is referred to as 'acetylated alkyl cellulose' in the present invention. As the acetylated alkyl cellulose, the substitution degree of the alkyl group and the acetyl group per unit structure of cellulose is used in the range of 1.0 to 2.0 molar ratio, respectively. In using acetylated alkyl cellulose as a membrane material, if the degree of acetylation is too low, the acetylation degree is 1.0 molar ratio because the polymer may be swelled and eluted during the washing process after preparing the membrane by applying the thermal induced phase separation method (TIPS). It is good to keep the above. The method for producing acetylated alkyl cellulose used in the present invention may be prepared by a general method, for example, by acetylating an alkyl cellulose using an acetylating agent such as acetic anhydride or acetyl chloride (AcCl). .
본 발명에서는 아세틸화된 알킬 셀룰로스의 빈용매로서 폴리에틸렌글리콜(PEG)을 사용한다. 즉, 폴리에틸렌글리콜(PEG)은 아세틸화된 알킬 셀룰로스를 잘 녹이는 양용매가 아니며, 아세틸화된 알킬 셀룰로스의 용융점 근처까지 승온시켰을 때 고분자를 녹일 수 있는 빈용매이다. TIPS 공정에 사용된 빈용매는 분리막의 매크로보이드가 형성되는 것을 억제하는 역할을 하고, 분리막의 공극크기와 공극률을 극대화시킬 수 있으며, 고분자 용액의 온도 변화와 점도 변화 그리고 성형 과정의 용이성에 영향을 미치게 된다. 본 발명이 빈용매로서 사용하는 폴리에틸렌글리콜(PEG)은 중량평균분자량이 200 내지 1,000 범위, 바람직하게는 중량평균분자량이 200 내지 600 범위인 것을 사용하는 것이 좋다. 그 이유는 아세틸화된 알킬 셀룰로스의 용융점이 170℃ 정도인데, 용융점 주변의 온도까지 가열하여 고분자 용액을 쉽게 제조하기 위함이며, 평균분자량이 상기 범위를 초과하여 지나치게 크면 고분자 용액을 제조할 수 없는 문제가 발생될 수도 있다.In the present invention, polyethylene glycol (PEG) is used as a poor solvent of acetylated alkyl cellulose. That is, polyethylene glycol (PEG) is not a good solvent that dissolves acetylated alkyl cellulose well, but is a poor solvent capable of melting the polymer when heated up to near the melting point of acetylated alkyl cellulose. The poor solvent used in the TIPS process serves to suppress the formation of macrovoids in the membrane, maximize the pore size and porosity of the membrane, and affect the temperature change, viscosity change, and ease of molding process of the polymer solution. Go crazy. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) used in the present invention as the poor solvent, it is preferable to use a weight average molecular weight of 200 to 1,000, preferably a weight average molecular weight of 200 to 600 range. The reason is that the melting point of the acetylated alkyl cellulose is about 170 ° C, and it is easy to prepare the polymer solution by heating up to the temperature around the melting point.If the average molecular weight exceeds the above range, the polymer solution cannot be prepared. May be generated.
본 발명의 고분자 용액 제조를 위하여, 아세틸화된 알킬 셀룰로스 10 내지 30 중량%와 폴리에틸렌글리콜 빈용매 70 내지 90 중량%의 비율로 혼합한다. 이때, 아세틸화된 알킬 셀룰로스의 함량이 10 중량% 미만이면 분리막의 강도가 떨어지고, 30 중량%를 초과하면 고분자 용액의 점도가 너무 높아 방사가 용이하지 않으므로, 상기 농도 범위를 유지하는 것이 좋다. In order to prepare the polymer solution of the present invention, 10 to 30% by weight of acetylated alkyl cellulose is mixed with 70 to 90% by weight of polyethylene glycol poor solvent. In this case, when the content of the acetylated alkyl cellulose is less than 10% by weight, the strength of the separator is lowered. When the content of the acetylated alkyl cellulose is less than 30% by weight, the viscosity of the polymer solution is too high to facilitate spinning, and thus, the concentration range may be maintained.
상기 제조된 고분자 용액의 정제를 위하여, 고분자 용액을 가온한 후에 여과하여 불용성분을 제거할 수 있다. 상기 정제과정을 좀 더 구체적으로 설명하면, 고분자 용액을 60 내지 200℃ 온도로 가열하여 아세틸화된 알킬 셀룰로스를 완전히 용해시킨 다음, 실온에서 3 내지 10시간 정도 방치시킨 후에 여과하여 정제된 고분자 용액을 제조한다.In order to purify the prepared polymer solution, the polymer solution may be warmed and then filtered to remove insoluble components. In more detail the purification process, the polymer solution is heated to a temperature of 60 to 200 ℃ completely dissolved acetylated alkyl cellulose, and then left at room temperature for 3 to 10 hours and then filtered to obtain a purified polymer solution Manufacture.
이상의 방법에서 제조된 고분자 용액을 이용하여 제막하여 분리막을 제조할 수 있다. 본 발명에서는 대표적인 분리막으로서 중공사막을 제조하는 방법을 제시하도록 한다.The membrane may be prepared by forming a membrane using the polymer solution prepared by the above method. In the present invention, to provide a method for producing a hollow fiber membrane as a representative membrane.
먼저, 아세틸화된 알킬 셀룰로스의 용융점이 대략 170℃ 정도임을 감안하여, 고분자 용액을 아세틸화된 알킬 셀룰로스의 용융점 주변 온도인 100℃ 내지 200℃ 범위내로 가열하여 방사용액을 제조한다. 고분자 용액의 제조를 위한 가열온도가 100℃ 미만인 경우 완전한 용해가 일어나지 않아서 가공성이 떨어지며, 200℃를 초과하는 경우 고분자가 분해된다는 문제점이 있다.First, considering that the melting point of the acetylated alkyl cellulose is about 170 ° C, the spinning solution is prepared by heating the polymer solution within the range of 100 ° C to 200 ° C, which is the temperature around the melting point of the acetylated alkyl cellulose. If the heating temperature for the preparation of the polymer solution is less than 100 ℃ complete dissolution does not occur, there is a problem that the processability is degraded, if the polymer exceeds 200 ℃ is decomposed.
제조된 상기 방사용액은 중공사막 형태를 만드는 노즐에 방사되어 방사용액을 상전이시킴으로써 중공사막을 제조한다. 방사 노즐에서 상기 방사용액이 방사될 때 중공사막의 내부 구멍을 형성시켜 주기 위하여 내부 응고욕을 상기 방사용액을 방사시키는 노즐에 정량펌프를 사용하여 주입한다.The prepared spinning solution is spun onto a nozzle forming a hollow fiber membrane to prepare a hollow fiber membrane by phase-transferring the spinning solution. When the spinning solution is spun from the spinning nozzle, an internal coagulation bath is injected into the nozzle for spinning the spinning solution using a metering pump to form an inner hole of the hollow fiber membrane.
상기 내부 응고욕으로는 트리에틸렌글리콜, 디에틸렌글리콜, 에틸렌글리콜과 같은 에틸렌글리콜계 중에서 선택된 1종 또는 2종 이상의 혼합된 용매를 사용할 수 있다. 상기 내부 응고욕에는 비용매로서 물, 알콜류 및 키톤류 중에서 선택된 1 종 또는 2종 이상을 사용할 수 있으며, 바람직하게는 비용매로서 물을 사용할 수 있다. 비용매를 첨가하여 사용 시 빈용매/비용매의 비를 1/0 내지 1/0.5 중량비로, 더욱 바람직하게는 1/0 내지 1/0.4 중량비로 포함하여 사용하는 것이 내부 홀의 손상 없이 기공을 형성할 수 있어 좋다.As the internal coagulation bath, one or two or more kinds of mixed solvents selected from ethylene glycol systems such as triethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, and ethylene glycol may be used. In the internal coagulation bath, one or two or more selected from water, alcohols and ketones may be used as the nonsolvent, and preferably water may be used as the nonsolvent. When non-solvent is added, the use of the non-solvent / non-solvent ratio in a 1/0 to 1 / 0.5 weight ratio, more preferably in a 1/0 to 1 / 0.4 weight ratio, forms pores without damaging the internal holes. I can do it.
상전이가 일어나는 외부 응고욕으로는 트리에틸렌글리콜, 디에틸렌글리콜, 에틸렌글리콜과 같은 에틸렌글리콜계 중에서 선택된 1종 또는 2종 이상의 혼합된 용매, 또는 상기 에틸렌글리콜계와 물의 혼합용액을 사용할 수 있다.As the external coagulation bath in which the phase transition occurs, one or two or more kinds of mixed solvents selected from ethylene glycol systems such as triethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, and ethylene glycol, or a mixed solution of the ethylene glycol system and water may be used.
이때, 내부응고욕은 -10℃ 내지 150℃ 범위, 상전이조는 -10℃ 내지 150℃ 온도를 유지하며, 보다 바람직하기로는 상기 두 경우 모두 10℃ 내지 120℃를 유지하는 조건하에서 수행된다. 상기 내부응고욕의 온도가 너무 낮으면 중공사막의 단면 구조가 조밀하게 형성되어 중공사막의 기계적강도가 증가하지만 공극률이 저하되어 수투과율의 급격한 저하 문제가 발생하며, 내부응고욕의 온도가 너무 높으면 중공사막 내부 표면에 공극률은 증가하지만 단면 구조 형성에 있어서 약한 결합이 형성되기 때문에 중공사막의 기계적강도가 약해지는 문제가 발생한다. 상기 상전이조의 온도가 너무 낮으면 중공사막 표면의 공극률이 감소하여 수투과량의 저하를 초래하고, 상전이조의 온도가 너무 높으면 중공사막 표면의 공극률과 공극의 크기가 증가하여 수투과량은 증가하지만 기계적강도가 급격히 저하되므로 중공사막이 약해지는 문제가 발생하는 바, 상기 범위를 유지하는 것이 바람직하다. At this time, the internal coagulation bath is in the range of -10 ° C to 150 ° C, the phase transition bath maintains a temperature of -10 ° C to 150 ° C, more preferably in both cases is carried out under the conditions of maintaining 10 ° C to 120 ° C. If the temperature of the internal coagulation bath is too low, the cross-sectional structure of the hollow fiber membrane is densely formed, and the mechanical strength of the hollow fiber membrane is increased, but the porosity is lowered, causing a sudden drop in water permeability. If the temperature of the internal coagulation bath is too high, Although the porosity increases on the inner surface of the hollow fiber membrane, weak bonds are formed in the cross-sectional structure, so that the mechanical strength of the hollow fiber membrane is weakened. If the temperature of the phase transition bath is too low, the porosity of the surface of the hollow fiber membrane is reduced, leading to a decrease in permeability. If the temperature of the phase transition tank is too high, the porosity and the pore size of the surface of the hollow fiber membrane are increased, the permeation rate increases, but the mechanical strength is increased. Since the problem of weakening of the hollow fiber membranes occurs rapidly, it is preferable to maintain the above range.
상기 과정을 통해 형성된 중공사를 마지막으로 응고시키기 위하여 비용매에 침지시킨다. 비용매로는 물, 에틸렌글리콜, 디에틸렌글리콜, 트리에틸렌글리콜, 알콜류 및 키톤류 중에서 선택된 1 종 또는 2종 이상을 사용할 수 있다. 상기 비용매에 양용매 또는 빈용매를 섞은 혼합액을 사용할 수도 있다. 상기 양용매는 디메틸아세트아미드, 디메틸포름아미드, N-메틸-2-피롤리돈 및 디메틸술폭시드 중에서 선택된 1 종 또는 2종 이상을 사용한다.The hollow fiber formed through the above process is immersed in the non-solvent to finally solidify. As the non-solvent, one or two or more selected from water, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, alcohols, and ketones can be used. You may use the mixed liquid which mixed the good solvent or the poor solvent with the said nonsolvent. The good solvent uses one or two or more selected from dimethylacetamide, dimethylformamide, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and dimethyl sulfoxide.
상기와 같이 얻어진 중공사막은 잔존하는 용매를 제거시켜주기 위하여 70℃내지 100℃, 더 바람직하게는 물의 끓는점 이하까지 높인 수조안에서 3 내지 6 시간 더 바람직하게는 중공사막의 표면에서 용매의 냄새가 나지 않는 상태에 이를 때까지 열수처리를 한다. 열수처리를 하는 경우 수투과율 및 강도가 높아진다는 장점이 있다.The hollow fiber membrane obtained as described above has a smell of the solvent at the surface of the hollow fiber membrane for 3 to 6 hours in a water bath which is raised to 70 ° C. to 100 ° C., more preferably below the boiling point of water, in order to remove the remaining solvent. Hydrothermal treatment is performed until the condition is reached. Hot water treatment has the advantage of increasing the water transmittance and strength.
최종 제조되는 중공사 분리막은 물이 외부에서 내부로 흘러가는 유로를 형성시키는 방식으로 유도되었으며, 외부층이 내부층보다 기공이 작은 비대칭 구조를 갖는다. 즉, 외부층의 기공크기는 0.05 내지 0.2 ㎛ 범위이며, 내부층의 기공크기는 0.1 내지 1 ㎛ 범위를 갖는다. 외부층의 기공크기가 상기 범위 미만으로 너무 작으면 투과유량이 너무 적어 효율성이 떨어지고, 상기 범위를 초과하여 너무 크면 분리능이 떨어지는 문제점이 있다. 내부층의 기공크기가 상기 범위 미만이면 저항이 커서 투과시키는 데 압력이 높게 필요하며, 상기 범위를 초과하면 분리막의 강도가 크게 떨어지는 문제점이 있다. The final manufactured hollow fiber separator was induced by forming a flow path through which water flows from the outside to the inside, and the outer layer has an asymmetric structure with smaller pores than the inner layer. That is, the pore size of the outer layer is in the range of 0.05 to 0.2 μm, and the pore size of the inner layer is in the range of 0.1 to 1 μm. If the pore size of the outer layer is too small below the above range, the permeate flow rate is too small to decrease the efficiency. If the pore size of the inner layer is less than the above range, the resistance is large, and a high pressure is required for the permeation. If the pore size exceeds the above range, the strength of the separator is greatly reduced.
상기 방법으로 제조된 본 발명의 분리막은 평균기공크기가 0.05 ∼ 0.4 ㎛이고, 순수투과유량이 500 ∼ 2000 L/㎡·hr(1 kg/㎠)이고, 인장강도가 9 ∼ 20 MPa이고, 증류수를 이용한 초기투과유량 대비 6 시간 운전 후의 상대투과유량이 0.7 ∼ 0.9으로, 막오염 저항성이 우수하고, 인장강도 등의 기계적 물성이 우수한 특징을 갖는다.The separation membrane of the present invention prepared by the above method has an average pore size of 0.05 to 0.4 ㎛, pure permeate flow rate of 500 ~ 2000 L / ㎡ · hr (1 kg / ㎠), tensile strength of 9 to 20 MPa, distilled water Relative permeate flow rate after 6 hours of operation compared to initial permeate flow rate is 0.7 to 0.9, which is excellent in fouling resistance and excellent in mechanical properties such as tensile strength.
이상에서 설명한 바와 같은 본 발명은 하기의 실시예에 의거하여 더욱 상세히 설명하겠는 바, 본 발명의 권리범위가 하기 실시예에 의하여 한정되는 것은 아니다.

실험예 1 : 물성측정실험Experimental Example 1 Physical Property Measurement Experiment
상기 실시예 1 ∼ 4 및 비교예 1 ∼ 3에서 제조한 중공사형 분리막의 물성을 하기 방법에 의해서 측정하였으며, 그 결과는 하기 표 1에 나타내었다. The physical properties of the hollow fiber separators prepared in Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 were measured by the following method, and the results are shown in Table 1 below.
본 실험에서 평균기공크기는 PMI를 사용하여 측정하였다. 그리고, 순수투과유량은 중공사막의 일정한 길이와 가닥수를 갖는 모듈을 제조하여 수조에 있는 순수(20℃)를 Out-In 방식으로 가압하여 측정하였다. 인장강도는 인장강도측정기를 사용하여 힘을 주고 절단이 일어났을 때의 힘을 측정하고 중공사의 단면적으로 나누어서 측정하였다. In this experiment, the average pore size was measured using PMI. In addition, the net permeate flow rate was measured by pressing the pure water (20 ℃) in the water tank in the Out-In method by manufacturing a module having a constant length and the number of strands of the hollow fiber membrane. Tensile strength was measured by using a tensile strength meter to measure the force at the time of cutting and breaking, divided by the cross-sectional area of the hollow fiber.
