Preparation of High-Temperature Resistant Hydrophilic Membrane for Oil-Water Separation

Through the molecular structure design, first starting from the molecular structure of the monomer, the monomer of the synthetic structure continues to polymerize with propanesulfonolactone, and finally reacts with quaternary ammonium salts to obtain polyimide containing biswitterionic groups. In this study, a hydrophilic polyimide membrane with a quaternary ammonium salt structure was synthesized. Then, the sulfonate hydrophilic structure was introduced into the polyimide film by electrospinning and the stencil method. Hydrophilic groups were introduced by introducing propane sulfonate, and the PI membrane was prepared by electrospinning and the template method. The results show that introduced sulfonic acid groups reduce the contact angle of polyimide membrane from 85° to 30°. The water permeability, porosity and mechanical strength of the membrane were tested and analyzed, and the membrane showed excellent oil-water separation performance.
