Asymmetric alumina hollow fiber membranes were prepared using the phase inversion technique followed by the sintering process at high temperatures. The ceramic suspensions were formulated by mixing alumina powder with polyethersulfone (PESf), polyethylene glycol-30-dipolyhydroxystearate and N-methyl...
