hollow fiber membranes

Hollow fiber membranes are a type of filter used to separate substances in liquids or gases. They consist of tiny, tube-shaped fibers with a porous wall, resembling tiny straws. When a mixture flows through or around these fibers, unwanted particles, contaminants, or impurities are captured on the surface or inside the fibers, allowing clean fluid to pass through. They are widely used in water purification, medical dialysis, and industrial processes because they are efficient, have a large surface area in a compact size, and can be customized for different separation needs.
