The asymmetric polylactic acid (PLA) membrane was prepared via phase inversion method using non-solvent induced separation (NIPS) technique. This study aims to synthesized as well as to characterize the PLA membrane and evaluating the membrane performance on water flux and permeability. In addition, this research also studied the removal performance of methylene blue dye. The polymer solution has been prepared using 12 wt.% of PLA and dissolved in 88 wt.% of Dimethylacetamide (DMAc) as a solvent. Then, the cast film was immersed in different ratio of coagulant bath medium (distilled water: methanol: ethanol) ranging from 100:0:0, 75:25:0, 75:0:25 and 75:12.5:12.5, respectively). Several characterizations were performed which include, membrane contact angle and membrane porosity. Performance PLA membranes were determined in terms of water flux and permeability at 1 bar transmembrane pressure using dead-end permeation cell. Finally, methylene blue (MB) removal efficiency was tested at the same transmembrane pressure. The findings revealed that the increase of alcohol concentration in coagulant bath resulted in higher porosity and lower contact angle. In short, MB dye rejection efficiency is also closely related to the amount of alcohol ratio used in coagulant baths. Increases in concentration of methanol and ethanol in coagulant bath medium increases the membrane porosity thus increased in efficiency of methylene blue rejection.

The regenerated silk fibroin with various molecular weights (MW) was prepared by different dissolution condition and the effect of coagulant on the wet spinnability of the various MW silk fibroin solutions dissolved in formic acid was investigated by the observation of wet spun filament in coagulant and the measurement of maximum draw ratio. The observation on the wet spun filament in coagulation bath revealed that good fibers without bead were formed in a high MW and a very high MW silk fibroin samples. In contrast, beads were observed in the silk fibroin sample with medium MW. The maximum draw ratio of wet spun silk fibroin filament decreased with MW reduction. The decrease of maximum draw ratio in isopropanol, acetone, DMF and THF was remarkably higher than that in methanol and ethanol, indicating that the coagulant type strongly influenced the wet spinnability. The two simple evaluation methods used in this study showed complementary information for wet spinnability: (a) The observation of filament in coagulant was effective to check a continuous fiber formation and a bead formation, and (b) the maximum draw ratio measurement was useful to examine the post drawing ability related to molecular orientation.

In the dry-jet-wet-spinning process of a hollow fiber membrane, the polymer solution is pumped into a coaxial tube, jet spinneret. The threadline emerging from the spinneret is stabilized by an internal coagulating medium(liquid or gas) as it emerges from the jet orifice. The nascent hollow thread is further stabilized in a quench bath as shown in Fig. 1. In this scheme, three mechanism of formatiota(temperature gradient, solvent evaporation, and solvent-nonsotvent exchange) can be combined. The changes which promote stabilization often play a dominant role in determining the ultimate fiber wall structure as well. Hence, in pratice, hollow fiber stabilization and development of membrane structure are commonly inseparable. However, fiber dimension(the inside diameter and wall thickness of the hollow fiber) is mainly a rheological problem and is determined by dope pumping rate, spinneret diatance from the coagulation bath, inner coagulant flow rate, and fiber draw-rate. Besides rheological phenomena play a prominent part in the final properties of the hollow fiber.

본 연구에서는 NMP용매를 사용하여 폴리술폰 용액을 캐스팅 하고 상전이 방법으로 비대칭성 폴리술폰 막을 제조하였다. 비대칭성 폴리술폰 막 제조 시 응고조로 물과 알코올(메탄올, 에탄올, 프로판올) 수용액을 사용하였다. 폴리술폰 막의 수투과도와 다공도를 조절하는 인자로 서로 다른 용해도 계수를 갖는 알코올의 영향에 대한 특성을 평가하였다. 알코올 응고조에서 제조된 비대칭성 폴리술폰 막은 전형적인 sponge-like 구조를 나타내었으며 물 응고조에서 제조된 폴리술폰 막은 알코올 응고조에서 제조된 폴리술폰 막보다 낮은 수투과도를 나타내었다. 물과 알코올의 혼합 응고조에서 생성된 비대칭성 폴리술폰 막은 finger-like 구조와 sponge-like 구조가 혼재되어 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 즉, sponge-like 구조의 폴리술폰 막은 상전이 속도가 감소함에 따라 다공도가 현저하게 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 그 결과 물 응고조에서 제조된 폴리술폰 막의 수투과도는 14.7 psi에서 164 [$L/m^2hr$] 이고 메탄을 응고조와 에탄을 응고조에서 제조된 폴리술폰 막은 각각 56 [$L/m^2hr$]과 30 [$L/m^2hr$]를 나타내었다.
