Two kinds of PEI (Polyethyleneimine) nanofibers membrane were successfully prepared by electrospinning and crosslinking technology, which were insoluble in water. One Polyethyleneimine/ Epichlorohydrin/ Polyacrylonitrile nanofibrous films (abbreviated as PEI/ EPI/ PAN NFs) was prepared by in situ crosslinking of PEI/PAN nanofiber containing of EPI, and the other PEI/ PAN/ EPI NFs was prepared by crosslinking PEI/ PAN nanofibers using EPI solution. The composition and morphology of nanofibers before and after crosslinking were investigated by infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. PEI/EPI/PAN nanofibers exhibited excellent adsorption properties toward heavy metal ions and methyl orange dyes, which can also be reused multiple times. The adsorption rate of methyl orange remained around 75% after 4 cycles, meanwhile, the adsorption rate of copper and lead still remained around 90% after 5 cycles. In addition, we found that PEI/ PAN/ EPI nanofibers prepared by solution crosslinking technology solved the problem of easy gel formation in in situ crosslinking technology and facilitated the continuous production of PEI/ EPI/ PAN nanofibers, which is better than in situ crosslinking technology.
