Hollow chitosan fibres, and the process for their preparation.

摘要

Hollow chitosan fibres for use in ultrafiltration processes are described, and which can be plasticised by the addition of glycerin such that they contain this latter in a quantity variable between 0.5 and 5% by weight with respect to the polymer. Said fibres are prepared by the wet spinning of acid chitosan solutions, using an alkali solution as the external fibre coagulant and a gaseous phase containing a basic gaseous component as the internal fibre coagulant.
