Abstract
A hollow fiber-supported liquid membrane (HFSLM) configuration with a large membrane surface area
per volume is becoming more viable and feasible to use on an industrial scale. However, the hollow fiber (HF) forms a
thicker skin outer layer than its flat-sheet equivalents, resulting in lower membrane fluxes and more unsatisfactory performance. Therefore, this study investigated the effect of HF spinning parameters such as bore liquid type, air gap distance (3-12 cm), and air relative humidity (64-100 wt%) on the properties and performance of HFSLM for levulinic
acid (LA) extraction. The HF membranes were characterized in terms of morphology, contact angle, porosity, and
membrane tensile strength. Polyethersulfone-based HF membrane prepared using 60% v/v dimethylacetamide as bore
liquid at 6 cm air gap distance and 86% air relative humidity resulted in the highest LA extraction of 72.2%. The membrane had a dual symmetric finger-like structure with an open porous structure. The value of the outer fiber surface
contact angle, porosity, and tensile stress was 94.1o
, 77.57%, and 1,524.7 kPa, respectively. An optimal spinning condition is crucial in producing the best HF structure for improving the HFSLM performance in LA extraction.
