Polyetherimide composite nanofiltration membrane and preparation method thereof

Abstract

The present invention relates to a polyetherimide composite nanofiltration membrane and a preparation method thereof, the method comprises the following steps: (1) dissolving polyetherimide and an additive into an organic solvent, stirring and keeping aside for deaeration to prepare a casting solution, blade coating of the casting solution onto a smooth surface of a nonwoven fabric, and placing under an air atmosphere and then putting into deionized water to obtain a support membrane, wherein the surface of the nonwoven fabric coated with the casting solution is referred to as surface A; (2) immersing the surface A of the support membraneinto an aqueous solution of m-phenylenediamine, taking out and drying in the air, then immersing the surface A into a solution of 1,2,4,5-benzene tetracarbonyl chloride in n-hexane or cyclohexane, and taking out and drying in the air to obtain a support membrane; and (3) immersing the surface A of the support membraneinto an aqueous solution of EDC.HCl, then adding NHS into the aqueous solution of EDC.HCl, then adding an aqueous solution of ethylene diamine and keeping aside, and then rinsing with deionized water to obtain a polyetherimide composite nanofiltration membrane. The method of the invention has the advantages of low cost, low energy consumption and low pollution; and also has high rejection towards low-molecular-weight compound, stable performance and a longer lifetime.
