In this research, to prepare a polymer membrane with hydrophilic nature that has anti-fouling and antiadhesion properties first, polyvinyl imidazole (PVI) Polymer was bonded as a surface modifier of fluorinated polyvinylidene (PVDF) membranes by Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) method. Therefore, to confirm the chemical changes of the hydrophilic membrane surface such as PVI polymer chain bonding and to investigate the uniform distribution of the polymer in the modified membrane pores and surface, experiments such as attenuated general reflectance (ATR-FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (H-NMR), Water contact angle (WCA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), zeta potential, Atomic force microscopy (AFM) spectroscopy, Thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray energy scattering (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns were performed. The results showed that the WCA for M1 membrane was about 83.37 ± 1.77 and Mb6 membrane was about 35.45 ± 1.45, which improved the WCA rate ofMb6 membrane surface by about 57.10%.Therefore, the total Anti-fouling rate and Flux recovery ratio (FRR) and rejection oil rate increased by about 35.2%, 18.65% and 10%, respectively. This study aimed to investigate the surface modification of membranes prepared with hydrophilic polymer PVI to separate oil from the oil-in-water emulsion, which is a suitable method and potential approach in controlling large-volume oil-in-water emulsion effluents.
