On performance and fouling of thin film composite hollow Fiber membranes using polycarbonate/polyvinylchloride as porous substrates for forward osmosis applications

In this study, thin-film composite (TFC) hollow fibers (HFs) were fabricated by an in-situ coating of polyamide layer on the lumen side of PVC/PC blend substrates for desalination by forward osmosis (FO). Particularly, the substrate HFs were spun at two air gap distances of 2 and 6 cm, to investigat...
