Study on CO2 stripping from water through novel surface modified PVDF hollow fiber membrane contactor.

Highlights: [•] Different amounts of SMM were used to improve the surface hydrophobicity of PVDF HFM. [•] The PVDF HFMs were used in contactor application for CO2 stripping from water. [•] The CO2 stripping flux and efficiency increased by increasing SMM concentration. [•] The gas flow rate has no significant effect on the CO2 desorption flux. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
