An electrochemical membrane module for selectively removing pollutants and a preparation method thereof are provided. A Ti/SnO.sub.2—Sb substrate electrode is coated with a MI—TiO.sub.2 sol-gel by means of a dip-coating method, and then sintered to obtain a molecular imprinting type Ti/MI—TiO.sub.2/SnO.sub.2—Sb coated electrode; the coated electrode is adhered to a ceramic micro-filtration membrane using epoxy resin glue to obtain a Ti/MI—TiO.sub.2/SnO.sub.2—Sb MI-anodic conductive composite membrane; the MI-anodic conductive composite membrane is used as an anode, and a titanium mesh is used as a cathode, so that the electrochemical membrane module capable of selectively removing pollutants is obtained. The invention effectively combines an electrochemical micro-filtration membrane and a molecular imprinting technique. When the electrochemical membrane module is used, suspended particles and refractory organics in the sewage are removed, and a highly selective removal of certain refractory pollutants can be achieved.

The present invention belongs to the technical field of membranes and provides a carbon nanotube/nanofiber conductive composite membrane and a preparation method thereof. The conductive membrane with a meshy pore structure intertwined by one-dimensional nano materials is constructed by taking one-dimensional nanofiber nonwovens prepared by electrospinning as a support layer and CNTs cross linked on the support layer as a separation layer. The membrane pore size of the composite membrane involved can be controlled from microfiltration to ultrafiltration, and membrane morphology includes flat membranes, hollow fiber membranes, and spiral-wound membranes. The main advantages and beneficial effects of the composite membrane involved are: simple preparation steps, better permeability and mechanical strength, good hydrophilicity and electrical conductivity, and easy mass production and application.

A zeolite membrane and a preparation method thereof are provided. The method includes: adding an organic binder solution dropwise to zeolite, and thoroughly grinding and stirring; blade-coating a resulting mixture on a substrate at a given thickness; and drying to obtain the zeolite membrane. The preparation of a zeolite membrane does not require a complicated hydrothermal crystal growth process, and the membrane can be prepared directly from natural zeolite or artificial zeolite. A prepared zeolite membrane has the characteristics of simple preparation process, low cost, prominent water permeability, high contaminant rejection rate and high zeolite load. The zeolite membrane, when used for the rejection of contaminants in water, can not only remove macromolecular contaminants in water, but also efficiently remove ammonia nitrogen by way of ion exchange, which is suitable for advanced treatment of wastewater.
