Membrane-forming conditions including solution concentration, pre-evaporati
on lime, evaporation temperature and bath temperature have different influe
nces on the properties of cellulose membrane, e.g. the water flux and the a
bility to retain glucosan T40. Cellulose membrane has a high ability to rem
ove urea and creatinine as does polyacrylonitrile membrane. (C) 1999 John W
