Abstract: Effective molecularly imprinted membranes(MIMs) were developed as an efficient adsorbent for the selective removal of p-hydroxybenzoic acid(p-HB) from acetylsalicylic acid(ASA, aspirin). The MIMs were grafted successfully from poly(vinylidene fluoride) microfiltration membranes via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer(RAFT) polymerization. The graft copolymerization of acrylic acid(AA) in the presence of template p-hydroxybenzoic acid led to molecularly imprinted polymer(MIP) film coated membranes. The obtained MIMs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer(FTIR) and Raman spectra, and batch mode adsorption studies were carried out to investigate the specific adsorption equilibrium, kinetics and selective recognition properties of different MIMs. The kinetic properties of the MIMs could be well described by the pseudo-second-order rate equation. Selective permeation experiments were performed to evaluate the permeation selectivity of the p-HB imprinted membranes. The observed performances of the MIMs are applicable to the further purification of aspirin
