Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate the possibility of breakage of an inorganic tubular separation membrane by closing the end of an inside opening of an inorganic tubular separation membrane by means of a water soluble meltable fixing agent and dissolving said agent in water after bonding a bundle of said membrane. CONSTITUTION:Powders of boron oxide, B2O3, as a meltable fixing agent 8, is filled in a glass container 7 and thereafter a casing 2 and 100 pieces of inorganic tubular separation membranes 1 are inserted into said powders and heated to about 600 deg.C so as to be melted and are cooled to be solidified, while silicon adhesives as bundle-bonding agents 4 are injected through a branch pipe 3 into the casing 2 and foam is removed under vacuum therefrom, following which said adhesives are cured at about 120 deg.C for one hour to effect bonding of tube bundle and then boron nitrate having been used as meltable fixing agent 8 is dissolved in water to be removed to open the inside openings of the inorganic tubular separation membranes 1. Consequently, cutting process to be applied to the end of tubular membrane can be avoided, eliminating thereby the possibility of breakage of inorganic tubular separation membrane.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In the conventional method of bundling inorganic tubular separation membranes described above, epoxy adhesives, fluororesin adhesives, silicone rubber adhesives, etc. are used as the bundling agent 4. However, when epoxy adhesives and fluororesin adhesives are used, it is not possible to perform a sterilization process using steam after modularization, and when silicone rubber adhesives are used, Although the steam sterilization process described above can be carried out, since the hardness of the bundling agent 4 is low, there is a risk that the inorganic tubular separation membrane will break when the end portion is cut.
