Effect of different additives on the physical and chemical CO 2 absorption in polyetherimide hollow fiber membrane contactor system

Porous asymmetric polyetherimide (PEI) hollow fiber membranes were fabricated via a phase-inversion method using ethanol, glycerol and acetone as the additives in the spinning dope. Also, hollow fiber PEI membrane without additives was fabricated. An aqueous solution of 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (80 wt...
