Abstract
Porous polypropylene membranes were prepared by a thermally induced phase separation method in super-critical $CO_2$, where polypropylene and Camphene were used as raw materials. The porosity of polypropylene membranes with 10 wt% polypropylene concentration was 78, 80, 73% by using methanol, ethanol, and n-buthanol as an analytical solvent, respectively. The tensile strength increased with an increasing polypropylene concentration, where it was $0.17kg_f/mm^2$ at 10 wt% polypropylene concentration. The extraction rate for Camphene increased with time and Camphene was removed 94% in 5 min. It increased with an increasing temperature and was 99% at $45^{\circ}C$, however, decreased with an increasing temperature at higher than $45^{\circ}C$. The extraction rate increased with an increasing pressue up to 150 bar, however, decreased slightly with an increasing pressure over 150 bar. The extraction rate had a relation with the solubility of Camphene in supercritical $CO_2$.
