Detailed Description of the Invention The present invention improves the separation performance of a permselective hollow fiber membrane used for separating and concentrating components in a mixed fluid without reducing the fluid permeability, and improves the mechanical strength of the membrane. It also relates to a modification method that improves durability against heat, pressure, and high salt concentrations. Generally, the separation and concentration of fluid components is carried out using a selectively permeable membrane for gas separation, organic liquid separation by reverse osmosis or ultrafiltration. The separation rate of the fluid in this case is proportional to the membrane area and operating pressure, so the challenge is how to increase the membrane area and increase the solution efficiency while at the same time imparting pressure resistance to the membrane. Hollow fiber membranes have been developed, but satisfactory results have not been achieved in terms of durability. On the other hand, in order to efficiently separate or concentrate components in a fluid using a selectively permeable membrane, it is required that the membrane has high liquid permeability and separation performance, and that these performances are stable over a long period of time. Ru. In general, if the fluid permeability of a membrane is increased, the separation performance and pressure resistance will decrease, and conversely, if you try to increase the separation performance and pressure resistance, the fluid permeability will tend to decrease. It is difficult to provide both durability and durability. The present invention provides a method for minimizing the decrease in fluid permeability of a permselective hollow fiber membrane, improving separation performance, and at the same time imparting durability to high pressure, high temperature, and high salt concentration to the membrane. That is, the present invention involves heat-treating a permselective hollow fiber membrane in an aqueous solution of an alkali and/or alkaline earth metal halide until its water content becomes 50 to 90% of the water content before immersion in the aqueous halide solution. This is a method for modifying permselective hollow fiber membranes. Examples of permselective hollow fiber membranes that can be applied to the present invention include cellulose diacetate, cellulose triacetate, or mixtures or derivatives thereof, polyhydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate or copolymers thereof, polyacrylonitrile, or copolymers thereof, polyacrylic acid copolymers, nylon 4, nylon 6, nylon 66, polyethylene oxide grafted polyamide copolymers, polyamides such as P-phenylene isophthalamide, P-aminobenzoic acid hydrazide, tele( Polyhydrazides such as iso)phthalic acid dihydrazide or their derivatives, polyelectrolytes such as polyvinyl acetal, polyester-polyalkylene glycol copolymers, polystyrene sulfonic acid-polyvinylbenzene trimethylammonium, etc., are mainly hollow-spun by wet spinning. A composite hollow fiber membrane formed into a fiber membrane or a composite hollow fiber membrane in which the surface of porous hollow fibers is coated with an active layer having selective permeability is used, but the material is not limited to these materials. The permselective hollow fiber membrane is heat-treated in an aqueous alkali metal and/or alkaline earth metal halide solution, and the halides used include lithium iodide, sodium iodide, lithium chloride,
There are halides of alkali metals such as sodium chloride and sodium bromide, halides of alkaline earth metals such as magnesium iodide, calcium iodide, magnesium chloride, and calcium chloride, but the common ones are lithium chloride and chloride. Examples include sodium, potassium chloride, magnesium chloride, and calcium chloride. These halides are preferably used as an aqueous solution of 0.5 to 20% by weight, more preferably 1.0 to 10.0% by weight. If the concentration of halide is extremely low, the effects of the present invention cannot be achieved, that is, the separation ability can be improved without reducing fluid permeability, and the durability of the membrane at high temperatures and high salt concentrations cannot be improved.
Furthermore, if the concentration is extremely high, the membrane will be strongly dehydrated, the gel structure of the membrane will be destroyed, the reversibility of dehydration and water absorption will be lost, and the fluid permeability of the membrane will be significantly reduced. Heat treatment is performed in an aqueous solution of alkali and/or alkaline earth metal halides, and the treatment temperature is 50°C.
-100°C, preferably 70% - 100°C.
In some cases, the treatment temperature may be increased to 100℃ by applying pressure.
It is also possible to increase it further. In addition, the treatment time varies slightly depending on the membrane material or halide, but the treatment time is 50% of the water content of the hollow fiber membrane before heat treatment.
It is necessary to treat until ~90% reduction. It is important that the permselective hollow fiber membrane used in the present invention has a reverse osmosis effect, and under the measurement conditions of a 3.5% saline solution and an operating pressure of 55 kg/cm 2 G, 50% to
It has a salt removal performance of 99.8% or more. The use of hollow fiber membranes with low removal capacity not only fails to achieve the desired improvement in separation performance and durability against pressure, temperature, and high salt concentrations, but also significantly reduces the fluid permeability of the membrane. By applying the treatment of the present invention, the separation performance and the membrane's durability against temperature and pressure are improved without reducing the fluid permeation rate of the hollow fiber membrane.
Since it can be used in a stable state for a long period of time, it is extremely advantageous as a fluid separation element. Fluid separation elements incorporating hollow fiber membranes treated according to the present invention can be used to separate and concentrate various types of salts and organic low-molecular compounds in water, and exhibit remarkable effects, but are limited to this application. It is not something that will be done. Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to Examples. Examples and Comparative Examples A permselective hollow fiber membrane made of cellulose triacetate (outer diameter 165μ, inner diameter 80μ, water content 55%, salt removal rate 70%, water permeability 55/m 2 ·D) was used as shown in Table 1. Heat treatment was performed for 20 minutes at various temperature conditions in saline solution with various concentrations, and the resulting hollow fiber membrane was heated to a concentration of 3.5% by weight.
The performance was measured using salt water at an operating pressure of 55 kg/cm 2 G and a temperature of 25°C with a recovery rate of 5%. The salt removal rate and water permeability were as shown in Table 1. Both salt removal rate and durability were measured. was improved (Examples 1 to 3). Furthermore, regarding the durability of the hollow fiber membrane, the change in performance after 2000HVS was compared with the initial state. In addition, the results of those subjected to only hot water treatment, those treated at a low treatment temperature, and those treated with a low saline concentration are listed as Comparative Examples 1 to 3. The salt removal rate and durability were worse than those of Examples 1-3. 【table】
