Abstract

We developed new polyamide 6 hollow fibre membranes using a green process to fabricate cutting-edge "organic solvent nanofiltration" membranes by one-step spinning process for organic solvent separation. This economic and sustainable membrane showed good rejection and durability performance in various organic solvents.
