(Prior art) A hollow fiber type porous membrane can obtain a large membrane area with a relatively compact module, and can be used as a water purification membrane (pyrogen-free pure water for medical use, ultrapure water for electronic material production, etc.). Application to a wide range of fields has attracted attention, such as a membrane for the production of biomass, and a plasma separation membrane bioreactor (separation of products in fermentation, recycling of biocatalysts or carriers for immobilization). Most of these uses are aqueous systems using water as a solvent, and when the membrane is hydrophobic and not hydrophilized, the pores of the membrane do not wet and the permeation rate of water is very low, resulting in poor membrane performance . However, hydrophilic membrane materials have various problems, such as membrane strength, durability, and decomposition by microorganisms, and are difficult to use for general applications. Therefore, hydrophilization of a hydrophobic membrane is an important subject, and various methods have been devised.

As a means for hydrophilizing the hydrophobic membrane, a surfactant or a solvent that is miscible with water at low surface tension is brought into contact with the hydrophobic membrane, and water is filled into the pores of the membrane with the surface tension of water reduced. A method of imparting wettability to a film, a method of bonding a hydrophilic group to a hydrophobic film material by a reaction to make the film hydrophilic, and a method of decomposing a hydrophobic film material to form a hydrophilic group to make the film hydrophilic. A method for doing so has been devised. However, except for the first method using a surfactant or a solvent having a low surface tension, it is expensive in terms of cost including complicated steps, particularly in a medical use film, and in terms of safety, unreacted substances and Residual reaction products, etc.
Elution is a major problem. Therefore, the first method with a medically safe surfactant or a low surface tension water-miscible solvent is most desirable.

The leak test of the membrane module is an indispensable process for using the membrane, and is always performed when the membrane is used. However, in this process, the hydrophilizing agent (surfactant or water-miscible solvent having a low surface tension) of the membrane may be removed by the liquid for the leak test, and the hydrophilicity of the membrane may be lost. That is, when the leak test liquid is miscible with the hydrophilizing agent, the hydrophilizing treatment agent attached to the film dissolves and mixes with the leak test liquid during the leak test, and Will be removed along with it. Also, in the case of a volatile hydrophilizing agent, if the liquid for the leak test is vaporized and removed after the leak test, the liquid is evaporated and loses its hydrophilizing ability. However, the leak test of the membrane module is an indispensable process in using the membrane, and cannot be eliminated. A leak test as a means for detecting a defect, a pinhole, breakage, or the like of a film is measured based on the same principle as the bubble point measurement. That is, the pores of the membrane are filled with a leak test liquid, and the pressure that is removed by the pressure of the gas is called a bubble point.If the membrane has defects, pinholes, breakage, etc., At a pressure below this bubble point, the liquid is removed from the defective portion and a pressure drop occurs, thereby detecting the presence or absence of a film defect. At this time, the liquid used for the leak test needs to have wettability to the hydrophobic porous membrane. That is, if all the pores present in the membrane are not filled with the liquid for the leak test, the gas escapes from the pores not clogged by the liquid,
Since a pressure drop occurs, a film defect cannot be detected. In addition, these liquids are easily removed by washing with evaporating water or the like so as not to cause a problem when the membrane is used, and there should be no problem in safety particularly in the field of medical membranes.

(Means for Solving the Problems) As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, the present invention has been reached. That is, in the present invention, the average pore diameter of the membrane is 0.01 μm
In the hydrophobic hollow fiber type porous membrane described above, the pores of the membrane are filled with a leak test liquid having wettability to the membrane material, and pressure is applied from inside or outside of the hollow fiber membrane to cause a defect in the membrane. In a leak test method for examining pinholes and breakage, a liquid obtained by dissolving 0.1 to 10% by weight of a high boiling point solvent usable for hydrophilization treatment in the liquid for leak test is used. This is a leak test method that also serves as a hydrophilic treatment for a hollow fiber type porous membrane.

In addition, a conventional method of impregnating a membrane with a relatively large amount of a non-volatile hydrophilizing agent as a pore retaining agent for the membrane has been a conventional general hydrophilized membrane. However, as a result of the investigations by the present researchers, in the pore diameter region (0.01 to several μ) of the microfiltration membrane,
There is almost no effect of surface tension due to the evaporation of water, and there is no need to fill the pores with a non-volatile hydrophilizing agent,
It has been found that the hydrophilizing agent only needs to be contained in an extremely small amount on the surface such as the pore wall before use. This has the advantage that a pore-holding agent is not required for module bonding, and thus there is no side reaction between the module adhesive and the hole-holding agent, and the generation of eluate after modularization is suppressed. I have. In this manner, performing the hydrophilic treatment and the leak test of the film in one process not only reduces the number of steps but also suppresses by-products during bonding and greatly reduces the amount used before the hydrophilic treatment. It has a great merit of that.

(Specific Content of the Invention) Generally, a leak test of a membrane is performed after the membrane is assembled into a module, that is, in a usable state. However, there is no problem in any step of the hydrophilic treatment of the film from the film forming step to immediately before the use of the film, as long as it is in a hydrophilic state at the time of use, and there is no problem at the stage of the leak test. The method of the present invention is performed after the hydrophobic hollow fiber type porous membrane is modularized. As the form of the module, any form such as a linear double-sided opening type, a linear single-sided opening type, a V-shaped single-sided opening type may be used. This hollow fiber module container is filled with a leak test liquid containing a hydrophilizing amphoteric solvent, and sufficiently impregnated in the hollow fiber membrane. Next, pressure below the bubble point is applied to the open end of the hollow fiber of the module with gas. In this way, the film is subjected to a leak test. After the test, a liquid for leak test is extracted from the module, and the film is dried by ventilation drying or left as it is. At this time, the hydrophilic treatment agent remains uniformly on the film surface, and becomes in a state of being subjected to the hydrophilic treatment. Hereinafter, a specific example will be described.
