Problems solved by technology

[0003] On the other hand, if the water to be treated is subjected to membrane separation, the suspended substances contained in the water to be treated (hereinafter also referred to as "turbidity") and the membrane-impermeable substances such as organic matter slowly accumulate on the surface of the membrane. , Adhesion and accumulation in the pores of the membrane, causing the pore blockage of the separation membrane
As a result, the liquid passage resistance of the separation membrane increases, and the membrane separation will not be possible soon.
[0004] In order to remove pore clogging and restore membrane separation performance, the separation membrane is usually washed with a chemical solution, but if the turbidity is still accumulated, the cleaning effect of the chemical solution will decrease
Or, although the separation performance of the membrane can be restored by repeated washing with the chemical solution, the amount of chemical solution used and the washing time increase, so there is also a disadvantage in terms of disposal cost

Embodiment

[0474] Hereinafter, although an Example and a comparative example are given and this invention is concretely demonstrated, this invention is not limited to these Examples.

[0475] The performance evaluation method of the hollow fiber membrane is as follows.

[0476]

[0477] A small module with an effective length of 200mm consisting of 4 porous hollow fiber membranes was produced. Send distilled water to the module at a temperature of 25°C and a filter pressure difference of 16kPa for 1 hour, and measure the resulting permeated water (m 3 ), converted into unit time (h) and unit membrane area (m 2 ) value, and then converted to the pressure (50kPa) to obtain the pure water permeability (m 3 / m 2 / hr). In addition, the unit membrane area is calculated from the average outer diameter and the effective length of the porous hollow fiber membrane.

[0524] 36% by weight of a vinylidene fluoride homopolymer (KF1300 manufactured by KLEHA Co., Ltd., weight average molecular weight: 417,000, number average molecular weight: 221,000) and 64% by weight of γ-butyrolactone were dissolved at 150°C. The Tc of this vinylidene fluoride homopolymer solution was 48°C. The solution was set up with 2 gear pumps, pressurized to 2.0MPa on the pipeline between them, and stayed at 99-101°C for 20 seconds, and then discharged from the outer tube of the double-tube die, while the γ - An 85% by weight aqueous solution of butyrolactone was discharged from the inner tube of the double tube die, and was solidified by staying in a cooling bath at a temperature of 25° C. consisting of an 85% by weight aqueous solution of γ-butyrolactone for 20 seconds. The obtained porous hollow fiber had a columnar structure with a thickness uniformity of 0.62, a columnar structure occu...

[0526] (Reference example 2) Production of hollow fiber membrane module

[0527] The method for producing the hollow fiber membrane module will be described below.

[0528] The hollow fiber membrane was cut into a length of 1800 mm, immersed in a 30% by mass glycerin aqueous solution for 1 hour, and then air-dried. The hollow fiber membrane was heat-treated in water vapor at 125° C. for 1 hour, air-dried, and cut into lengths of 1200 mm. The predetermined number of hollow fiber membranes thus obtained are bundled into one bundle. One end of the hollow fiber membrane bundle was sealed with a silicone adhesive (SH850A / B, manufactured by Toray Dow Corning Co., Ltd., two components were mixed at a mass ratio of 50:50).

[0529] On the inner surface of the polysulfone cylindrical case 3 (inner diameter 150 mm, outer diameter 170 mm, length 1150 mm), the area to which the hollow fiber membrane is to be bonded was previously sanded with sandpaper (#80) and degreased with ethanol. ...
