A-5 「Today's Water Tereatment Membrane and it's future prospect -Reverse Osmisis/ Forward Osmosis/Micro filter Membrene-」
14:40 ～ 15:20 seminar room A Capacity 140
Lecture
Prof. Hideto Matsuyama
Outline of lecture
Membrane technology is widely applied for water treatment and receiving more attention due to the global water shortage issue. Membranes have been getting more applications in the field of drinking water treatment associated with their advantages including superior water quality, easier control of operation, lower cost and maintenance. Nevertheless, one of the serious problems arising during membrane filtration is membrane fouling by natural organic matter or bacteria. Membrane fouling can cause an increase in hydraulic resistance and a flux decline, increase operation and maintenance costs, and shorten the membrane life.
Forward osmosis (FO) has gained attention recently because this process has low energy consumption and low fouling tendency. FO process utilizes a concentrated draw solution with high salt concentration to extract pure water from the low salinity feed solution through a semi-permeable membrane due to osmotic pressure difference.
In this presentation, I will introduce the researches in our Membrane Center at Kobe University about membrane fouling prevention and FO membrane process.
