The invention relates to a method for forming a porous 
polyurethane membrane, belonging to the technical field of membrane 
science and engineering. The method for forming the porous 
polyurethane membrane, provided by the invention, comprises the steps of: dissolving 
thermoplastic polyurethane in an 
organic solvent to prepare a membrane 
casting solution, immersing the membrane 
casting solution in an environment constituted by atomized microspheres which is prepared by an atomization device and used for solidification, and slowly performing a solidification forming process of the membrane 
casting liquor from outside to inside. According to the method, the forms of the microspheres on the surface and in the inner part can be effectively controlled in a forming process of the porous 
polyurethane membrane, and compact structures on the 
surface layer of the porous 
polyurethane membrane can be effectively reduced. The formed porous 
polyurethane membrane has the characteristics of uniformly distributed microspheres on the 
surface layer, no compact layer structure, uniform inner pore size, and large 
porosity. The method is simple to operate and has not 
pollution to the environment, and thedosage of an atomizing solution for solidification is lower. The prepared porous polyurethane membrane has a favorable waterproof breathability, and can be widely applied to the fields of clothes fabrics, leather, 
medical treatment and 
public health, and the like.
