[0023] Ten membrane modules were produced by such a method, and no breakage of the hollow fiber membrane was observed in producing any of the membrane modules. Also, in the membrane module
Apply adhesive to the non-glass-coated part of the hollow fiber
Thus , a gas leak test was performed on the membrane module from which gas leak was eliminated . In the test, as shown in FIG. 2, after attaching the hollow fiber membrane module 8 to the SUS housing 10 using the O-ring 9, the outlets 11 and 12 are opened and the outlet 13 is connected.
After sealing , the pressure was reduced by the vacuum pump 14, the valve 15 was closed, and the pressure change was measured by the pressure gauge 16. The pressure change after 24 hours is 24
It was confirmed that Pa and high airtightness were exhibited with good reproducibility.
