Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A hollow fiber filtration membrane in which even when a relatively small contaminant having a size close to that of a permeation effective component is present in a filtration solution, Flux decrease over time during filtration is suppressed, and a useful component can be efficiently recovered, the hollow fiber filtration membrane including a polysulfone-based polymer and a hydrophilic polymer and having a large number of pores, the hollow fiber filtration membrane having a gradient asymmetric porous structure in which an average pore diameter of the pores increases from an outer surface portion toward an inner surface portion of the membrane, a content of the hydrophilic polymer of the membrane being from 6.0 to 10.0% by mass, a ratio between a content of the hydrophilic polymer at the inner surface portion and the content of the hydrophilic polymer of the membrane being in the range of from 0.50 to 0.80.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A hollow fiber filtration membrane comprising a polysulfone-based polymer and a hydrophilic polymer and having a large number of pores, wherein the hollow fiber filtration membrane has a gradient asymmetric porous structure in which an average pore diameter of the pores increases from an outer surface portion toward an inner surface portion of the membrane, a content of the hydrophilic polymer of the membrane is from 6.0 to 10.0% by mass, and a ratio between a content of the hydrophilic polymer at the inner surface portion and the content of the hydrophilic polymer of the membrane is in the range of from 0.50 to 0.80. 2 . The hollow fiber filtration membrane according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the hydrophilic polymer at the outer surface portion is higher than the content of the hydrophilic polymer of the membrane. 3 . The hollow fiber filtration membrane according to claim 1 , wherein the hollow fiber filtration membrane has a pure water permeation rate of from 80 to 240 L/(hr·m 2 ·bar). 4 . The hollow fiber filtration membrane according to claim 1 , wherein the hollow fiber filtration membrane has a dense layer having a thickness of from 2 to 10 μm. 5 . The hollow fiber filtration membrane according to claim 1 , wherein the polysulfone-based polymer is polyethersulfone. 6 . The hollow fiber filtration membrane according to claim 1 , wherein the hydrophilic polymer is a copolymer comprising a vinylpyrrolidone unit.
