CASE STUDY 3: Fabrication and Characterization of Polyetherimide Hollow Fiber Membrane
Contactor for Carbon Dioxide Stripping from Monoethanolamine Solution
Physical Characteristics:
Polyetherimide (PEI) is a polymer with good thermal and chemical stability that makes it a
suitable candidate for contactor applications. In addition, the low viscosity and hydrophobicity of
PEI solution promotes the formation of finger-like macrovoids in the structure of PEI membranes
that decreases the membrane mass transfer resistance. Most studies on the effect of phase
inversion promoters on the structure of PEI membranes were devoted to gas separation
membranes, in which a dense skin layer should be present at the membrane surface.
Materials Used For Membrane:
Polyetherimide (PEI, Ultem) was used for fabrication of the hollow fiber membranes. 1Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP, >99.5%) was used as solvent without further purification. Ethanol
was used as non-solvent additive in the polymer dopes. Tap water was used as coagulation bath
in all cases. Monoethanolamine (MEA) (>98%) was used as liquid absorbent.
Module Fabrication:
The PEI in pellet form was dried at 702 C in a vacuum oven for 24 h to remove the moisture.
The spinning dopes of 18wt.% PEI, 2 and 4wt.% Ethanolin NMP were prepared by stirring the
solution at room temperature until the solution became homogeneous. The resulting solutions
were degassed for 24 h at room temperature before spinning. The spun hollow fibers were
immersed in water for 3 days to remove the residual NMP and Ethanol. Then, they were dried at
room temperature. (Zabih A. Tarsa, 2015)
