Abstract

A process for producing highly asymmetric hollow fibers useful as permselective gas separation membranes and for producing composite membranes thereof by extruding the spinning dope through a tube-in-orifice spinneret into a gas-filled chamber maintained at reduced pressure and then conveying the extruded hollow fiber through a liquid bath to solidify the extrudate.
