Polysulfone is synthetic polymer widely used as basic material for dialyzer membrane and hydrophobic so it tends to cause fouling. Cellulose acetate is non-synthetic, hydrophilic polymer which has low tendency of fouling and has good thermal stability and permeability so it is considered as alternative material for hollow fiber dialyzer. A proper hollow fiber can be achieved by setting a proper temperature of coagulation bath along the spinning process. This research aims to understand the effect of coagulation bath temperature variations on the physical characteristic such as pore size, tensile strength, swelling rate and creatinine clearance of cellulose acetate – D-glucose monohydrate hollow fibers. Hollow fibers were fabricated using spinneret at temperature variations 5°C, 10°C, 15°C dan 20°C. Physical characteristics were estimated by doing morphology test using SEM, tensile test, swelling test towards Simulated Body Fluid (SBF) and filtration test towards creatinine. Result revealed that the hollow fibers from 5°C coagulation bath temperature gives the best characteristic and performance with tensile strength 27,421 N mm-2, pore size 0,0295–0,0858 nm, swelling rate 4,18%, elongation rate 4,4 %, flux rate 1,6032–1,7956 mL cm-2 min-1 and creatinine clearance rate 40,14–48,30% so it is potential to be applied as dialyzer membrane.

<p>Acetic acid is a byproduct of acid hydrolysis of biomass during sugar recovery step in biofuel production. Acetic acid can inhibit the enzyme used during fermentation of sugar to the ethanol. Hollow fiber supported liquid membrane (SLM) was used in this study to remove acetic acid from aqueous solution. Liquid membrane was formulated using trioctylamine and 2-ethyl hexanol as a carrier and solvent, respectively. The hollow fiber membrane support was prepared from 15 wt.% polyethersulfone, 42.5 wt.% polyethyleneglycol 200 and 42.5 wt.% dimethylacetamide. The effect of coagulation bath temperature (CBT) at 30<sup>º</sup>C, 40<sup>º</sup>C and 50<sup>º</sup>C during hollow fiber membrane spinning process was investigated. The porosity of the membrane increased as the CBT increased. The porosity of the membrane prepared using CBT of 30ºC, 40<sup>º</sup>C and 50<sup>º</sup>C were 35.7%, 46.7% and 61.6%, respectively. SLM process using hollow fiber membrane prepared at 50ºC of coagulation bath was able to remove 52% of acetic acid from the aqueous solution.</p><p>Chemical Engineering Research Bulletin 19(2017) 118-122</p>

AbstractHollow fiber membranes of polyamide-6(PA6) with porous structure were prepared by a thermally induced phase-separation method. N-Ethyl-o/p-toluene sulfonamide was chosen as diluent. On the basis of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images, porosity, bubble point pore diameter and pure water flux, the influential factors including polymer concentration, coagulation bath temperature, post-stretching were investigated. The results indicate that with the increasing of PA6 concentration ‘slit-shaped’ pores in inner surfaces and cellular structure in cross-sections disappear, correspondingly, the properties of membranes such as porosity and pure water flux become poor. As the coagulation bath temperature varied from 20 °C to 50°C, the pure water flux of membranes is improved from 136 to 244 L·m-2·h-1. Post-stretching make the ‘interfacial micro-pores’ expand due to ‘stress concentration’ phenomenon, thus changing the structure and improving the properties of membranes. PA6 hollow fiber membranes with rational structure and high performance could be obtained by altering polymer concentration, coagulation bath temperature and post-stretching.

Poly (vinylidene fluoride) membranes were prepared from the ternary mixture of PVDF/ 1, 2 - propylene glycol/dimethylacetamidevianon-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS). The effect of the addition of the 1, 2 - propylene glycol content, the Coagulation Bath Temperature and the concentration of PVDF on the performance and structure of the PVDF membranes was studied in the present investigation.The results showed that with increasing polymer concentration, the mechanical strength increased,and the structure of membrane changed from finger-like macro-voids structureto sponge-like structure.It was found that water flux, breaking elongation and tensile strength of the membrane increased with increasing 1, 2 - propylene glycol content, when the content reached 41wt.%, the water flux reaches a maximum.The morphology of PVDF can be improved by the addition of 1, 2 - propylene glycol, which was changed from finger-like structure to sponge-like structure. And the dense skin layer of PVDF membranes became thicker with increasing 1, 2 – propyleneglycol. The tensile strength decreasedfrom 3.3 to 2.1MPa, breaking elongation decreased from 315% to 280% andthe pure water flux increased from 91 to 909 L·m-2·h-1. as the coagulation bath temperature (CBT) decreased from 30°C to 5°C.With this condition, the sponge-like hollow fiber membrane hassuccessfully spun.
