Preparation and characterization of porous PVDF hollow fiber membranes for CO2 absorption: effect of different non-solvent additives in the polymer dope
Different types of non-solvent additives were introduced into the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) dope to investigate improvement of the hollow fiber membrane structure for CO2 absorption. Phase-inversion behavior of the PVDF dopes was studied using cloud points measurements. Glycerol, phosphoric aci...

Different types of non-solvent additives were introduced into the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) dope to investigate improvement of the hollow fiber membrane structure for CO2 absorption. Phase-inversion behavior of the PVDF dopes was studied using cloud points measurements. Glycerol, phosphoric acid, ethanol and polyethylene glycol (PEG-400) were used as non-solvent additives in the polymer dope. With addition of the additives, precipitation of the polymer dopes increased following the trend of phosphoric acid > glycerol > ethanol > PEG-400. From morphology examination, PEG-400, glycerol and phosphoric acid resulted in the membranes with almost sponge-like structure due to high viscosity of the spinning dopes. The low wetting resistance and high permeability of the plain PVDF and PVDF/ethanol membranes were attributed to the large finger-likes structure.
