Abstract

Composite polymolecular separation membranes were prepared by combining multi-branched ZIF-L with high-porosity electrospinning nanofibers PI. Meanwhile, PDA and PEI were introduced into the membrane in order to improve its adhesion. The new membrane is called the "PI@PDA@PEI/ZIF-L-4" composite membrane. Compared with the PI@PDA@PEI/ZIF-8 composite membrane, the new membrane's filtration rates for heavy metal ions such as Cd2+, Cr3+, and Pb2+ were increased by 7.0%, 6.6%, and 9.3%, respectively. Furthermore, the new membrane has a permeability of up to 1140.0 L·m-2·h-1·bar-1, and displayed a very stable performance after four repeated uses. The separation mechanism of the PI@PDA@PEI/ZIF-L composite membrane was analyzed further in order to provide a basis to support the production of separation membranes with a high barrier rate and high flux.
