Abstract

PURPOSE:To impart an antibacterial and fungicidal function to porous hollow fibers and permanently prevent the filtrate accumulated on the surface of the hollow fibers from the growth of bacteria and fungi by incorporating a specific amt. of the zeolite contg. the metal having a bactericidal action in the porous hollow fibers. CONSTITUTION:The zeolite 1 contg. the metal having a bactericidal action such as silver, copper and zinc is incorporate in porous hollow fibers A in an amt. of at least 1wt.%. In this case, 1% - about 10% is considered to be a suitable range for reasons of hollow fiber manufacture. It is effective to reduce the particles of the zeolite to the least possible size in diameter, since this results in the increased specific surface area and the metal ions having an antibacterial and bactericidal character can act efficiently on the water to be treated. This can impart the bactericidal action on the hollow fibers invariably, regardless of whether water is being supplied or not. Therefore, filtrate can be prevented from the growth of bacteria or fungi and a sanitary, pure water can be obtained safely without the need of any complicated manipulation.

It has been found that it is desirable to have a 5i02/A1.03 molar ratio of 14 or less, but the present invention is not limited to this, and natural or artificial materials may be used. As is well known, the content of zeolite in hollow fibers is 1% or more by weight, and generally speaking, the higher the content, the better the antibacterial effect. A range of 10% is considered appropriate. Also,
Regarding the timing of mixing zeolite, it can be mixed in any step, from mixing it with the monomer before polymerization to mixing it with the stock solution just before hollow fiber injection molding.

Furthermore, it is particularly effective to set the particle size of the zeolite as small as possible (for example, on the order of several microns), and can significantly improve the bactericidal and antifungal properties. The reason for this is that the smaller the zeolite particle size, the larger the specific surface area, which increases the surface area of the zeolite that can be brought into contact with the treated water on the surface of the hollow system, which allows metal ions with antibacterial and bactericidal properties to be introduced into the treated water. This is because it can be made to act efficiently. In addition, reducing the particle size of zeolite as described above not only increases the antibacterial and bactericidal properties per unit weight of zeolite, but also helps to uniformly disperse the zeolite in the resin during hollow molding. convenient.
