Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain superior water permeability and durability by dryand wet- spinning a polysulfone spinning soln. contg. a nonionic surfactant having hydrophilic property and hardly leachable in water. CONSTITUTION:A polysulfone spinning soln. contg. a nonionic surfactant having hydrophilic property and hardly leachable in water is dry and wet-spun preferably with lower alcohol or an aq. soln. thereof as a core liq. Permanent hydrophilic property is rendered to the resulting hollow fiber membrane of polysulfone. When the lower alcohol is used as the core liq., superior water permeability and durability are obtd. because excessive leaching is not caused in the early stage of water permeation and the pore diameter is not reduced.

Among the materials currently being used for separation membranes, polysulfone resin is often used due to its excellent heat resistance and chemical (acid, alkali) resistance. Hollow fibers made from polysulfone resin have a structure in which a dense layer exists on either the outside or inside of the hollow fiber, or both, and fingers structures with high porosity are formed inside the membrane. However, the water permeability of the construction surface is low, and the water permeation rate is 50%.
0 Q 1m"・Kg/aJ-hr or less. Therefore, if you try to increase water permeability by reducing the membrane thickness, the pressure resistance will decrease and it will be impractical. It becomes like this.

Therefore, in order to increase the hydrophilicity, which affects water permeability, while maintaining pressure resistance, or in other words, maintaining the required film thickness, we have developed a method of immersing the membrane in ethanol after film formation, and a method of immersing the membrane surface (inside the pores inside the membrane). Various methods have been proposed, including methods for adsorbing glycerin or relatively highly hydrophilic surfactants on the surface (including the surface), and chemical surface modification methods such as grafting and sulfonation. Improvement treatment methods such as adsorption of glycerin, surfactants, etc. lack long-lasting effects, and chemical surface modification methods require complicated processes and inevitably increase costs.

Polyethylene glycol and the like are added to this spinning dope as a modifier that increases the solvation effect, thickening effect, etc. of the dope.1 In the present invention, although such modifiers are generally used, A nonionic surfactant that is hydrophilic and easily dissolves in water is added as an essential ingredient.

As such surfactants, glycerin fatty acid esters, sorbitan fatty acid esters, etc., which are also used as surfactants in food additives, are preferably used, but in addition, sucrose fatty acid esters, propylene glycol fatty acid esters, etc. Those having a higher fatty acid ester group as a hydrophobic group are used.

Since these surfactants have hydrophilicity, they impart hydrophilicity to the surface of the formed membrane (including the surface of pores inside the membrane). Therefore, the surfactant is added in an amount of about 5 to 30 weights, preferably about 10 to 30 weights, based on the polysulfone resin.

If the addition ratio is lower than this, the desired hydrophilicity imparting effect will not be exhibited, while if the addition ratio is higher than this, although the hydrophilic effect will be sufficiently exhibited, due to the presence of excess surfactant. The pore size becomes smaller, leading to miniaturization of the pore size and lowering of water permeability, and the surfactant may be eluted at the early stage of water permeation.

In order to remove such excess surfactant, by using a lower alcohol, preferably ethanol, as a core liquid during spinning, unnecessary surfactant is washed away simultaneously with cleaning the spun hollow fiber membrane. Moreover, using ethanol as the core liquid means that the inner surface of the hollow fiber membrane has a pore diameter of 0.
It is effective for making relatively large holes of 01 to 0.2 μm. When attempting to reduce this pore size by iJl, a lower alcohol is added to its aqueous solution, generally at a concentration of about 50%.
It can also be used as an aqueous solution containing more than % by weight.

According to the method of the present invention, since the formed polysulfone hollow fiber membrane contains a nonionic surfactant that is hydrophilic and difficult to dissolve in water, it is not necessary to perform hydrophilic treatment by immersion in ethanol. , permanent hydrophilicity is imparted to the surface of the membrane, and the surfactant contained therein eliminates excess elution during the initial water flow when cleaning with lower alcohol as the core liquid during spinning. Since the pore diameter does not become unnecessarily small, water permeability is further improved. In addition, the pore diameter can be adjusted by using the core liquid alcohol as an aqueous solution and varying its concentration.
