Effects of air gap on membrane substrate properties and membrane performance for biomass processing

In this study, a correlation between the membrane substrate properties and the final performance of hollow fiber thin film composite (TFC) membrane for xylose/glucose concentration and acetic acid removal was studied. Polysulfone (PSf) hollow fiber membrane substrate was fabricated using 20 wt% PSf,...
