The glass membrane was fabricated by non-solvent-induced phase separation (NIPS) and sintering technique. The preparation process was studied. PVDF was dissolved into DMAc completed. Subsequently, the used glass powder was added into above aqueous solution. The obtained slurry was tape-casted and a green membrane formed. The green membrane was immersed into coagulation bath. The exchange between DMAc and water in coagulation bath took place, and PVDF-containing glass membrane was obtained. The membrane was calcined at different temperature, and the glass membrane was prepared. In order to evaluate the porosity of membrane, many factors including water content in coagulation bath, PVDF content in slurry, coagulation bath temperature and calcination temperature were studied. The viscosity of slurry and shrinkage of membrane after calcination were also studied.

<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>

Abstract Membrane separation technology is widely used in wastewater purification, but the issue of membrane fouling could not be ignored. Hydrophilic modification is an effective method to reduce membrane fouling. Therefore, in this work, a hydrophilic modified polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) ultrafiltration membrane was prepared by polymer/non-solvent co-induced phase separation, and the effect of coagulation bath temperature on the membrane structure and performance was systematically investigated based on the previous study. With the increased of the coagulation bath temperature, the phase separation process changed from delayed to instantaneous, and the membrane surface changed from porous to dense, while the macropore structures and sponge-like pores appeared on the cross-section. Meanwhile, the pure water flux decreased from 229.3 L/(m2·h) to 2.08 L/(m2·h), the protein rejection rate increased from 83.87% to 100%, and the surface water contact angle increased from 63° to 90°. Thus, excessively high coagulation bath temperature adversely affected the permeate and separation performance, as well as antifouling performance of the membrane. This study enriched the research for preparing separation membranes by polymer/non-solvent co-induced phase separation and provided a practical and theoretical reference for controlling the membrane structure and properties by changing the coagulation bath temperature.

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.

Supported cellulose ultrafiltration membranes are cast from a cellulose-ionic liquid solution by the immersion precipitation technique. The effects of coagulation bath temperature and polymer concentration in the casting solution on the membrane morphology, wettability, pure water flux, molecular weight cut-off, and fouling resistance are studied. Scanning electron microscopy, contact angle measurements, atomic force microscopy, and filtration experiments are carried out in order to characterise the obtained ultrafiltration cellulose membranes. The results show the effect of coagulation bath temperature and polymer concentration on the surface morphology and properties of cellulose ultrafiltration membranes. Optimisation of the two parameters leads to the creation of dense membranes with good pure water fluxes and proven fouling resistance towards humic acid water solutions.

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.
