고도정수처리를 위한 관형 세라믹 정밀여과와 이산화티타늄($TiO_2$) 광촉매 첨가 PES (polyethersulfone) 구의 혼성공정에서 역세척 주기(FT)와 역세척 시간(BT)의 영향을 막오염에 의한 저항($R_f$) 및 투과선속(J), 총여과부피($V_T$) 측면에서 기존의 질소 역세척 결과와 비교하였다. FT가 짧아질수록 $R_f$는 감소하고 J와 $V_T$는 증가하였다. 탁도의 처리효율은 물과 질소역세척 모두 NBF (no back-flushing)에서 최대이고, FT가 짧아질수록 처리효율이 다소 증가하였다. 유기물질 처리효율은 물역세척 시 FT 4분에서 최대이었으나, 질소 역세척 시 FT가 짧아질수록 증가하였다. BT가 길어질수록 $R_f$와 가역적 막오염 저항($R_{rf}$)은 감소하고, J와 $V_T$는 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 $V_T$값을 나타내어서, 본 실험 범위에서 최적 조건은 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 ($R_f$), permeate flux (J), and total permeate volume ($V_T$) in hybrid process of tubular ceramic microfiltration and PES (polyethersulfone) beads loaded $TiO_2$ photocatalyst for advanced drinking water treatment. As FT decreasing, Rf decreased, but J and $V_T$ 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 ($R_{rf}$) decreased, but J and $V_T$ 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 $V_T$ 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.
