Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a multiporous hollow-fiber membrane containing a thermoplastic resin, in which an aspect ratio of outer surface pores is 10 or more, an aspect ratio of inner surface pores is 1 to 5, and a thickness of a polymer backbone forming the outer surface pores is 1 μm to 20 μm.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A multiporous hollow-fiber membrane, comprising a thermoplastic resin, wherein an aspect ratio of outer surface pores is 10 or more, an aspect ratio of inner surface pores is 1 to 5, and a thickness of a polymer backbone forming the outer surface pores is 1 μm to 20 μm. 2. The multiporous hollow-fiber membrane according to claim 1 , wherein pure water permeability is 9000 L/m 2 /hr or more and compression resistance strength is 0.8 MPa or more. 3. A multiporous multilayered hollow-fiber membrane comprising one or more separation layers formed on an outer surface of the multiporous hollow-fiber membrane according to claim 1 . 4. A process for producing a multiporous hollow-fiber membrane, comprising: molding a hollow-fiber-shaped melt-kneaded product by allowing a melt-kneaded product containing a thermoplastic resin, an organic liquid, and an inorganic fine powder having an average primary particle size of 20 nm to 100 nm to pass through a filter having a pore size of 30 μm to 500 μm and then to discharge from a nozzle plate having a ring-shaped discharge port; and producing a multiporous hollow-fiber membrane by cool solidifying the hollow-fiber-shaped melt-kneaded product and removing, by extraction, the organic liquid and the inorganic fine powder. 5. The process for producing a multiporous hollow-fiber membrane according to claim 4 , wherein the inorganic fine powder is silica. 6. A multiporous multilayered hollow-fiber membrane comprising one or more separation layers formed on an outer surface of the multiporous hollow-fiber membrane according to claim 2 .
