A Study on the Preparation of Metal-Ion Separation Membrane with Hydrophilic Polyphosphazenes

친수성 포스파젠 고분자를 이용한 금속 이온 분리막 제조에 관한 연구

Hydrophilic polyphosphazenes were synthesized from hydrophobic polyphosphazenes by adding methoxyethylenoxy side chains and cast by dip-coating method into membranes supported on porous polypropylene mesh filter sheet for metal separation testing. A solution of $Cr^{3+},\;Co^{2+},\;Mn^{2+}$ nitrates was used in diffusion experiments which were conducted from $25^{\circ}C$ to $60^{\circ}C$. lt was found that the ion transport properties were increased as the repeating number of ethylenoxy side chain increased. Membrane from trifluoroethoxy methoxyethoxyethoxyethoxy co-substituted polyphosphazenes was found to separate $Cr^{3+}$ ion from $Mn^{2-}$ and $Co^{2+}$ ions with separation factor of 4.5 at $60^{\circ}C$.

소수성인 poly[bis(trifluoroethoxy)phosphazene]에 methoxyethylenoxy 측쇄를 치환시켜 친수성을 증가시킨 포스파젠 고분자를 합성하였으며 합성된 고분자를 다공성 polypropylene 지지체위에 dip-coating법으로 금속이온 분리막을 제조하였다. $Cr^{3+},\;Co^{2+},\;Mn^{2-}$이온 수용액에 대한 분리실험을 $25^{\circ}C$에서 $60^{\circ}C$까지 온도범위에서 행하였다. 치환된 methoxyethylenoxy기 중의 ethylenoxy의 반복단위가 증가할수록 이온의 투과특성이 증가하는 것을 알수 있었다. Trifluoroethoxy methoxyethoxyethoxyethoxy co-substituted polyphosphazene의 경우 $Cr^{3-}$ 이온이 $60^{\circ}C$에서 분리계수 4.5의 값을 갖고 $Co^{2+},\;Mn^{2+}$ 이온들로부터 분리가 됨을 알 수 있었다.
