PROCESS FOR PREPARING POLYETHER ETHER KETONE MEMBRANE

摘要

The present invention is directed to a process for manufacturing a polyether ether ketone (PEEK) membrane which may be used for ultrafiltration or microfiltration at high temperatures. In this process for manufacturing a non-sulfonated PEEK membrane which comprises dissolving PEEK in a solvent to obtain a membrane forming stock solution, forming the stock solution into a desired shape and bringing the formed stock solution in contact with a coagulating liquid capable of coagulating PEEK, the key features involve using concentrated sulfuric acid as the solvent, dissolving PEEK therein to prepare the stock solution and keeping the stock solution at 15 degrees C or lower until initiation of membrane formation.
