  • Patent number: 12263444
    Abstract: The invention a solvent-resistant polymeric nanofiltration membrane and preparation method thereof. The method includes subjecting a diamine monomer and a dianhydride monomer to cyclization imidization in a first polar organic solvent at 160 to 230° C., to form a polyimide, wherein the diamine monomer includes a diamine monomer with a carboxyl group and a diamine monomer without a carboxyl group; dissolving the polyimide in a second polar organic solvent, to form a membrane-forming solution; performing phase inversion to obtain an intermediate membrane; treating the intermediate membrane with an organic solution of a metal salt, so that the metal ion is coordinated and cross-linked with the carboxyl group in the polyimide, to obtain a solvent-resistant polymeric nanofiltration membrane, wherein the metal salt is a divalent and/or a multi-valent metal salt. The invention also discloses use of the solvent-resistant polymeric nanofiltration membrane in the separation and/or purification of a compound.
