Problems solved by technology

[0005] In the hydrophilization treatment of the conventional RO membrane using PVA, there are the following problems: (1) PVA will peel off from the RO membrane during long-term use, and the hydrophilization effect will be lost; (2) PVA will adhere to the RO membrane, As a result, the flux of the RO membrane decreased significantly compared to before the attachment

Embodiment 1

[0057] The Nitto Denko RO membrane "ES20" (flat membrane, diameter 32 mmφ) was subjected to a hydrophilic treatment under the following conditions. Modified polyvinyl alcohol having a polyalkylene oxide chain, which is a hydrophilizing agent, was used by dissolving in ultrapure water (60°C). After the hydrophilization treatment, the biologically treated water from the drainage recovery device of the Kurita Industrial Co., Ltd. Development Center was used to conduct a water flow test to verify the flux stability.

Embodiment 2

[0072] Except using "ECOMATY WO-320R" (modified polyvinyl alcohol having a polyethylene oxide chain, saponification degree 86.5-89.5%) manufactured by Nippon Synthetic Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., the same test as in Example 1 was carried out. Quantitative stability. The results are shown in figure 1 .

Embodiment 3

[0074] Except that the inlet pressure during the hydrophilization treatment was set to 0.2 MPa, the same test as in Example 1 was carried out to examine flux stability. The results are shown in figure 1 .

Abstract

Provided is a method for hydrophilizing an RO membrane, the method being excellent in terms of the persistence of the hydrophilization effect and flux stability. An RO membrane is brought into contact with a modified polyvinyl alcohol having a polyalkylene oxide chain. The modified polyvinyl alcohol has a degree of saponification of preferably 80% or higher, and the polyalkylene oxide chain preferably is a polyethylene oxide chain. The modified polyvinyl alcohol having a polyalkylene oxide chain has higher adsorbability onto RO membranes than conventional PVAs, and the antifouling properties can hence be maintained over a long period.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a hydrophilization treatment method of a reverse osmosis (RO) membrane using modified polyvinyl alcohol having a polyalkylene oxide chain, an RO membrane hydrophilized using the method, and a hydrophilization treatment method of the RO membrane. Hydration agent. Background technique [0002] RO membranes are widely used in various water treatment fields for the purpose of desalination and concentration in order to take advantage of their characteristics. [0003] Conventionally, in order to prevent the reduction of the permeated water (flux) and the reduction of the salt rejection rate of the RO membrane due to use, a method of contacting the RO membrane with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) has been known (for example, Patent Documents 1 to 2). 3). [0004] By bringing PVA into contact with the RO membrane, the RO membrane is hydrophilized and the permeability of the RO membrane is maintained. That is, PVA has high hydrophil...
