The invention provides a
chitosan-
phytic acid porous composite membrane, and a method for removing
metal impurities. A production method of the
chitosan-
phytic acid porous composite membrane comprisesthe following steps: dissolving
chitosan powder in an acid solution, adding a
plasticizer, and performing uniform mixing to obtain a chitosan solution; dissolving
phytic acid powder in water to obtain an aqueous phytic acid solution; slowly dropwise adding the aqueous phytic acid solution to the chitosan solution while stirring in order to obtain a chitosan and phytic acid
mixed solution; freezeing the chitosan-phytic acid mixed solutionn, and then freeze-
drying the frozen
mixed solution to obtain a
porous composite membrane; and placing the chitosan-phytic acid porous
composite membrane in aconstant temperature and
humidity chamber to obtain the chitosan-phytic acid porous
composite membrane. The method for removing
metal impurities comprises the following steps: mixing of the chitosan-phytic acid porous
composite membrane with
mineral oil to be treated, reacting, and
filtration. The chitosan-phytic acid porous composite membrane has the advantages of large specific surface area, excellent
structural integrity, good contact adsorption property, effectiveness in removal of the
metal impurities, simplicity and convenience in operation, and suitableness for large-scale industrial applications.
