Separation of oil-in-water emulsions using electrospun fiber membranes and modeling of the fouling mechanism

Microfiltration of emulsions of oil (dodecane) in water using electrospun membranes of poly(trimethyl hexamethylene terephthalamide) (PA6(3)T) is demonstrated. Rejection of the emulsified dodecane increased from (4.3±0.9)% to (85±5)% when the ratio of droplet diameter to fiber diameter (dp/df) incre...
