The present invention relates to a hollow fiber membrane module and a gas-liquid mass transfer apparatus comprising the same. According to the present invention, a high gas-liquid mass transfer can be shown particularly in the fermentation of carbon monoxide while lowering energy requirements, by eliminating a movable equipment part and a culture medium circulator part of the conventional technology. Moreover, when using the gas-liquid mass transfer apparatus according to the present invention, the monoxide mass transfer rate can be greatly enhanced in an abiotic condition as compared to the conventional technology using a PVDF membrane. 본 발명에 따르면, 종래 기술의 가동설비 부분과 배양액 순환장치 부분을 생략함으로써, 에너지 필요량을 낮추면서도 특히 일산화탄소 발효에서 높은 기액 물질 전달을 보일 수 있다. 또한, 본 발명에 따른 기액 물질 전달 장치를 사용하는 경우, PVDF 막을 사용한 종래 기술에 비해 비생물적(abiotic) 조건에서 일산화 물질 전달율이 현저하게 향상될 수 있다.
