Cellulose hollow fibers for organic resistant nanofiltration

Cellulose is the most abundant biopolymer, but it is difficult to process due to its low solubility in most of the solvents. In this work, we demonstrate the preparation, of self-standing and defect-free cellulose hollow fiber membranes made by a sustainable process for filtration in organic solvent medium. The hollow fibers were made by the simple spinning technique using ionic liquids as a solvent. The spun solutions were prepared with three...
