Abstract

A composite semipermeable membrane, including: a microporous support layer; and a separation functional layer provided on the microporous support layer, in which the separation functional layer includes a crosslinked wholly aromatic polyamide which is a polycondensation product of a polyfunctional aromatic amine and a polyfunctional aromatic acid chloride and contains amino groups and carboxyl groups, and in positive secondary ions measured on a surface of the separation functional layer by time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry, when (count number of m/z=104.03)/(count number of m/z=108.06) is denoted by a, and a molar ratio (carboxyl group/amino group) of the carboxyl group to the amino group, which is obtained by analyzing the entire separation functional layer by 13 C solid state NMR, is denoted by b, the following formulae (1) and (2) are satisfied: a≥5.0 (1); and a/b≥4.3 (2).

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A composite semipermeable membrane, comprising:
a microporous support layer; and
a separation functional layer provided on the microporous support layer,
wherein
the separation functional layer comprises a crosslinked wholly aromatic polyamide which is a polycondensation product of a polyfunctional aromatic amine and a polyfunctional aromatic acid chloride and contains amino groups and carboxyl groups, and
in positive secondary ions measured on a surface of the separation functional layer by time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry, when (count number of m/z=104.03)/(count number of m/z=108.06) is denoted by a, and a molar ratio (carboxyl group/amino group) of the carboxyl groups to the amino groups, which is obtained by analyzing the entire separation functional layer by 13 C solid state NMR, is denoted by b, the following formulae (1) and (2) are satisfied:
a≥ 5.0  (1); and

a/b≥ 4.3  (2).

2. The composite semipermeable membrane according to claim 1 , wherein the a and the b satisfy the following formula (3):
a/b≥ 5.5  (3).

3. The composite semipermeable membrane according to claim 2 , wherein the a satisfies the following formula (4):
a≥ 7.0  (4).

4. The composite semipermeable membrane according to claim 1 , wherein the separation functional layer has a difference in yellow index (ΔYI) before and after vanillin yellowing test of 2 or more and 20 or less.

5. The composite semipermeable membrane according to claim 1 , wherein constituent elements of the separation functional layer detected by a combustion method are substantially only hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen.

6. The composite semipermeable membrane according to claim 1 , wherein the separation functional layer is decomposed into one or more types of aromatic amines and two or more types of aromatic carboxylic acids or aromatic carboxylates by alkaline hydrolysis.

7. The composite semipermeable membrane according to claim 6 , wherein among the aromatic carboxylic acids and the aromatic carboxylates, trimesic acid and a trimesic acid salt occupy a fraction of 90 mass % or more.
