- the resin and the solvent can be mixed at the molecular level by using a good solvent or a poor solvent having high solubility of the resin. Therefore, when the resin is solidified, the molecules of the resin are mixed. A solvent molecule intervenes between them. Therefore, the number of voids between the formed molecules increases. Therefore, in order to control the volume range of the pores having excellent filterability of the fermentation broth, it is preferably adopted that the separation membrane obtained by the phase separation method is subjected to post-treatment to reduce intermolecular voids.
- the vinylidene fluoride resin As a post-treatment to reduce the intermolecular voids, the vinylidene fluoride resin is immersed in a poor solvent having a relatively high solubility at a constant temperature for a short time, and only the outer surface structure of the solid part is dissolved.
- a solvent immersion treatment in which the material is replaced with a non-solvent is preferable.

It becomes a structure.
- the amorphous part in the solid part forming the separation membrane is a polymer microbrown.
- a part of the crystal part crystallizes, or the crystal part that melts at a temperature lower than the melting point of the separation membrane in the solid part melts once and then recrystallizes into a crystal part that melts at a higher temperature. Then, the solid part shrinks. Since minute voids are present in such crystalline and amorphous portions, it is expected that the voids will be filled by shrinkage to reduce the starting point of adhesion of stain components such as proteins in the fermentation broth.
- the shrinkage of the entire membrane during the heat treatment closes the minute voids between the solid parts, which has the effect of reducing the branching of the flow path. Is not suitable.

- phase separation mechanisms there are mainly two types of phase separation mechanisms in the heat-induced phase separation method.
- One is a liquid-liquid phase separation method in which a resin solution uniformly dissolved at a high temperature is separated into a concentrated phase and a dilute phase of the resin due to a decrease in the dissolving ability of the solution when the temperature is lowered.
- the other is a solid-liquid phase separation method in which a resin solution uniformly dissolved at a high temperature undergoes phase separation into a polymer solid phase and a polymer dilute solution phase when the temperature drops.

- a resin concentration and a solvent that induce solid-liquid phase separation are preferably adopted.
- a cooling bath which is the same as the solvent of the resin solution, or preferably contains the non-solvent of the resin in a low concentration in order to accelerate the solidification.
- a solid-liquid phase separation method of a heat-induced phase separation method is more preferably adopted in order to form a spherical structure, and the obtained separation membrane is immersed in a solvent. It is preferable to process.
- the separation membrane of the embodiment of the present invention takes the shape of a hollow fiber membrane
- the hollow fiber membrane produced by using the non-solvent-induced phase separation method or the heat-induced phase separation method has voids before heat treatment.

- the stretching is preferably performed in a liquid because the temperature can be easily controlled, but it may be performed in a gas such as steam.

1.分離膜
(1)有機高分子樹脂
本発明の実施形態において、分離膜は有機高分子樹脂を含む。
本発明の実施形態において、分離膜は多孔質である。すなわち分離膜はその内部に細孔を有する。細孔は特定の形状に限定されない。
分離膜は、有機高分子樹脂で形成された0.5~15μmの太さの固形部と、固形部間の空隙を有しており、固形部内にも微細な空隙が存在する。
本発明の実施形態の分離膜において、細孔の平均孔径は10~10000nmであることが好ましい。細孔の平均孔径は、より好ましくは50~5000nmの範囲であり、更に好ましくは100~3000nmの範囲である。いずれの好ましい下限値もいずれの好ましい上限値と組み合わせることができる。
分離膜内の孔径100nm未満の細孔は、主に固形部内の空隙であり、固形部間の微細な空隙も含む。孔径100nm以上の細孔は固形部間の大きな空隙である。
ガス吸着法では、例えば、分離膜に吸着している水等を除去した後、液体窒素温度での窒素ガス吸着測定を行い、相対圧(吸着平衡圧力/液体窒素温度での飽和蒸気圧)0.99の際の窒素ガス吸着量(液体換算)より、分離膜の細孔容積V(cm3/g)を測定すればよい。
本発明の実施形態の分離膜において、固形部が球状構造を有することが好ましい。球状構造とは、球状体が連続した構造である。分離膜の内部がこのような構造を有することにより、固形部(球状体)間の空隙が収縮しにくく、高い純水透過性能を維持できる。また、球状構造により、従来の網目状の構造に比べて高い強度および高い透水性能を実現することができる。
また、球状構造はフッ化ビニリデン樹脂を含有することが好ましく、分離膜は球状構造を有すると共に中空糸膜であることが好ましい。中空糸膜の一部分を図1に例示する。分離膜の内部とは、分離膜が図1に示す中空糸膜1である場合は、外表面11を除いた部分、つまり中空糸膜1の実質的な内部および/または内表面12をいう。
球状体20は、略球体乃至略楕円体である。図2に示すように、球状体20は他の球状体20と連結しているため、その球面または楕円体面の全体を観察することはできない。しかし、外形に表れている形状から、その直径、長径および短径を推定することができる。
球状体間の連結は、球状体同士が直接接着することで形成されていてもよいし、球状体の間の非球状な部分(くびれと言い換えられる)21によって形成されていてもよい。
球状体間の空隙22は、上述した固形部間の空隙である。固形部について上述したように、球状体内にも微細な空隙が存在する。
前記球状体の直径は、中空糸膜の断面および/または内表面を球状構造が明瞭に確認できる倍率で走査型電子顕微鏡等を用いて写真を撮り、10個以上、好ましくは20個以上の任意の球状体の直径を測定し、平均して求める。写真を画像処理装置で解析し、等価円直径の平均を求めることも好ましく採用できる。球状体の密度は103~108個/mm2の範囲が好ましく、より好ましくは104~106個/mm2の範囲である。球状体の密度が103個/mm2以上であることで発酵液処理に求められる高い強度が実現でき、108個/mm2以下であることで高い純水透過性能が得られる。
本発明の実施形態の分離膜は親水性高分子を含有することが好ましい。また、前記親水性高分子は、2種類以上のモノマー単位から構成される共重合体を含有し、下記式(1)に基づいて算出される前記親水性高分子の水和エネルギー密度が、40~70cal・mol-1・Å-3であることが好ましい。
本発明の実施形態の分離膜が中空糸膜の形状をとる場合、中空糸の外径と膜厚は、膜の強度を損なわない範囲で、中空糸膜内部長手方向の圧力損失を考慮し、膜モジュールとして透水量が目標値になるように決めればよい。すなわち、外径が、太ければ圧力損失の点で有利になるが、充填本数が減り、膜面積の点で不利になる。
次に、本発明の実施形態の分離膜の中でも特にフッ化ビニリデン樹脂から中空糸膜を得るための方法について述べるが、本発明はこれらの製造方法例によってなんら限定されるものではない。
以下の実施例では本発明の分離膜が中空糸膜の形状をとる場合について説明する。
セイコー電子(株)製の示差走査熱量計(DSC-6200)を用いて、乾燥状態の中空糸膜を密封式DSC容器に密封し、昇温速度10℃/minで昇温する過程で観察されるピークのピークトップ温度を中空糸膜の融点Tmとした。
中空糸膜を次の方法により絶乾した。熱処理をしていない、水で湿潤した状態の中空糸膜は、-20℃で約50時間凍結乾燥した後、さらに常温で約8時間真空乾燥した。熱処理した中空糸膜は、常温で約8時間真空乾燥した。この絶乾中空糸膜を約5mmの長さに切断し、試料重量を電子天秤((株)島津製作所製、AW220)で秤量した。細孔径分布はマイクロメリテックス社製ポアサイザー9320により測定した。試験片を装置付属の約5cm3のガラス製のセルに封入し減圧下に水銀を注入した後、装置付属の耐圧容器中でオイルを介して約4kPa~207MPa(細孔径約7nm~350μmに対応)の範囲で昇圧することで行った。水銀の表面張力は484dyn/cm、水銀の接触角は141.3°を用いて計算した。孔径100nm以上の細孔容積をV1とした。
減圧乾燥した中空糸膜について約10cmの長さに切断し、試料重量を電子天秤((株)島津製作所製、AW220)で秤量した。自動比表面積・細孔径分布測定装置(マイクロトラック・ベル社製、BELSORP-mini II)を用い、窒素ガス吸着量を測定した。付属の解析プログラムを用いてBET比表面積を算出した。孔径100nm未満の細孔容積をV2とした。
複数本の中空糸膜を約30cmの長さに切断し、ポリエチレンフィルムで巻いて中空糸膜束とした。この中空糸膜束を円筒型のポリカーボネート製モジュールケースに挿入し、両末端をエポキシポッティング剤で固めた。端部を切断して、両末端が開口したモジュールを得た。中空糸膜の本数は、中空糸膜内径基準の膜面積が100~200cm2となるよう適宜設定した。なお、円筒状のモジュールケースには両端部付近の2箇所にポートを設け、中空糸膜の外面を流体が灌流できるようにし、両末端には液の出入り口を有するエンドキャップを装着して、中空糸膜の中空部を流体が灌流できるようにした。
中空糸膜を次の方法により滅菌処理した。中空糸膜を40cmの長さに切断し、オートクレーブ装置(トミー精工社製、LSX-300)を用い、設定温度を125℃とし、20時間の滅菌処理を行った。中空糸膜の長さを測定し、収縮長さを滅菌前の中空糸膜長さで除することで収縮率を算出した。
引張試験機((株)東洋ボールドウィン製TENSILON/RTM100)を用いて、フルスケール5kgの荷重でクロスヘッドスピード50mm/分にて測定し求めた。試験片は、試験長50mmを湿潤状態で測定に用いた。
ビール酵母を含有した市販の無ろ過ビール「銀河高原ビール」を(以下、評価用ビールと呼称する)使用した。モジュール内にRO水を充填し1時間以上放置した後、中空糸膜の外側のRO水を排出した後、中空部に存在する水を評価用ビールで置換した。容器内に0℃を維持した評価用ビール2Lを用意し、この容器からポンプを介して評価用ビールが中空糸膜の外面を灌流して容器に戻ると同時に、中空糸膜によってろ過されたろ液は評価用ビールが入っている容器とは異なる容器で採取するよう回路を組んだ。その際、モジュールへの評価用ビールの入口圧と出口圧およびろ過側の圧を測定できるようにした。モジュール入口を、評価用ビールが1.5m/secの流速で流れるように、評価用ビールを導入した。また、ろ過速度は、100[L/m2/h]になるように調整した。この状態で、中空糸膜外面に評価用ビールを5±3℃で灌流、一部をろ過するクロスフローろ過を継続して実施した。所定の時間毎に入口圧、出口圧およびろ過側の圧力を測定し、膜間圧力差(TMP)が100kPaまで上昇する時間[h]を測定して、ビール処理量を算出した。
TMP=(Pi+Po)/2-Pf とした。
ここで、Piは入口圧、Poは出口圧およびPfはろ過側の圧である。
