Abstract
Semipermeable membranes of polyacrylonitrile or copolymers of acrylonitrile and other ethylenically unsaturated monomers are chemically modified through reaction with (a) hydroxylamine and (b) a poly functional ionic colorless cyclic carbonic acid imide-halide capable of reaction with amidoxime groups, and optionally containing ionic groups. The new membranes show good compaction and solvent resistance and are stable over a broad temperature and pH range. They are suitable for reverse osmosis and especially ultrafiltration processes.
