る。[Prior Art] Conventionally, techniques for separating suspended solids from an original liquid containing suspended solids using a membrane include, for example, reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration, microfiltration, which uses pressure as a driving force,
There are electrodialysis methods that use a potential difference as a driving force, and diffusion dialysis methods that use a concentration difference as a driving force. These methods can be operated continuously, and can separate, purify, or concentrate without significantly changing the temperature or pH conditions during the separation operation, and are capable of separating, purifying, or concentrating particles,
It is possible to separate a wide range of molecules, ions, etc.
It is economical because it can maintain a large processing capacity in a small plant, requires little energy for separation operations, and can process low-concentration raw liquids that are difficult to use with other separation methods, so it has been widely implemented. There is. Furthermore, with the progress of biotechnology, higher purity, higher performance,
High precision is now required, and instead of the conventional centrifugation and diatomaceous earth filtration, it is possible to perform continuous operation and process large quantities, and there is no need to add filter aids or flocculants.
Separation efficiency is unrelated to the difference in specific gravity between the bacterial cells and the suspension, and a clear filtrate can be obtained regardless of the physical properties of the culture medium or the type of bacterial cells.A completely closed system that enables high concentration cultivation and improves production efficiency. The field of application of microfiltration or ultrafiltration technology is expanding because it allows for no leakage of bacteria, it is possible to wash the bacteria after concentration, it is easy to scale up, and it is highly economical.

4051) and porous ceramic membranes that have excellent durability such as heat resistance and chemical resistance.Ultrafiltration membranes are used when the main purpose is to filter colloids, and ultrafiltration membranes are used to filter fine particles. For precision filtration, a precision filtration membrane having micropores suitable for the purpose is used. Such precision filtration membranes are divided into so-called isotropic membranes, in which the pore diameters of the micropores existing inside the membrane do not substantially change, and pore diameters on both surfaces of the membrane do not substantially change, and pore diameters in the membrane thickness direction. It is classified as having a structure called an anisotropic membrane, in which the pore size changes continuously or discontinuously, and the pore size on one surface of the membrane is different from the pore size on the other surface. Among these, isotropic membranes are described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 58-98015, but the entire membrane exhibits a large resistance to the flow of fluid during filtration.
Not only can only a small flow rate be obtained (that is, only a small flow rate can be obtained per unit area, per unit time, and per unit differential pressure), it also has drawbacks such as easy clogging, short filtration life, and lack of blocking resistance. Ta. On the other hand, the anisotropic film is
-6406, which has a layer with small pores called the compact layer on one surface or inside the membrane, and has relatively large pores or an extremely large finger-shaped layer, which is described in JP-A-56-154051. The void extends from the inside of the membrane to the other surface. Suspended solids are trapped on the microporous membrane surface when an isotropic membrane is used or the raw liquid is supplied to the smaller pore side of the anisotropic membrane, whereas the raw liquid is trapped on the larger pore side of the anisotropic membrane. When a liquid is supplied, suspended matter is trapped inside the microporous membrane. In other words, when suspended substances are blocked on the surface of a microfiltration membrane, the blocked suspended substances create a very large filtration resistance and the permeation flow rate decreases rapidly, resulting in a lower total filtration rate. The pore diameter changes continuously or discontinuously in the membrane thickness direction, and the pore diameter on one surface of the microfiltration membrane is different from the pore diameter on the other surface.The side with the larger surface pore diameter is placed on the raw liquid side. By using the microfiltration membrane toward the target, suspended solids can be blocked inside the microfiltration membrane, making it possible to obtain a large total filtration amount.

る。[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As mentioned above, a microfiltration membrane has a structure in which the pore diameter changes continuously or discontinuously in the membrane thickness direction, and the pore diameter on one surface of the microfiltration membrane is different from the pore diameter on the other surface. By using a so-called anisotropic membrane with the larger surface pore size facing toward the raw liquid side, suspended solids can be blocked inside the microfiltration membrane, making it possible to obtain a large total filtration amount. If the average pore diameter on the side with larger surface pores of the anisotropic membrane is extremely larger than the average pore diameter in the dense layer, which has the smallest pore diameter, suspended substances will be dispersed uniformly in the cross-sectional direction inside the membrane and will not be captured and will not be captured in the dense layer. Since the particles are captured in a concentrated manner, the characteristics of an anisotropic film cannot be obtained as a result, and the result is similar to that of an isotropic film where the particles are captured on the surface. On the other hand, if the average pore diameter of the anisotropic membrane on the side with larger surface pores is not much different from the average pore diameter of the dense layer with the smallest pore diameter, that is, if the membrane has a structure close to that of an isotropic membrane, suspended solids will be trapped on the surface of the filtration membrane. As a result, the total filtration rate becomes low. That is, in order to obtain the characteristics of an anisotropic membrane, an appropriate anisotropic structure is required so that suspended substances can be dispersed and captured inside the membrane. In other words, a technique is needed to change the ratio of the average pore diameter on the side of the anisotropic membrane with larger surface pores to the average pore diameter of the dense layer with the smallest pore diameter, depending on the size, type, physical properties, etc. of the suspended solids. By doing so, it is expected that a membrane structure with optimal trapping performance depending on the suspended solids will be obtained and the maximum total filtration amount will be obtained.

。[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention has been carried out to solve the above-mentioned problems in the prior art. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a new membrane-forming technology for precision filtration membranes, in which the anisotropic structure of the membrane can be freely changed according to the properties of the object to be filtered, thereby obtaining the maximum filtration flow rate. The present invention will be explained in detail below. The anisotropic structure is defined by the ratio of the average pore diameter of the larger surface pores to the average pore diameter of the dense layer, both when the dense layer exists on one surface of the membrane and when it exists inside the membrane. That is, the anisotropy ratio of an anisotropic structure is defined as the value obtained by dividing the average pore diameter on the larger surface pore diameter by the average pore diameter in the dense layer. The average pore diameter of the membrane surface shown here was calculated from a photograph obtained by an electron microscope, and the average pore diameter of the dense layer was measured by the ASTM-316-80 method, as shown in FIG. In FIG. 1, a indicates the average diameter of the measured minimum diameter layer of the compact layer, and b indicates the thickness of the minimum diameter layer. Side A shows the side with a smaller surface aperture, and side B shows the side with a larger surface aperture. In precision filtration membranes, the average pore size of the dense layer is usually 0.05 μm or more and 10 μm or less, as shown above.
In the case of anisotropic membranes, the average pore size on the side with larger surface pores is usually 1
It is 100 μm or more, and the ratio of the average pore diameter of the surface having a large pore size to that of the dense layer is 2 times or more and 1000 times or less. In order to obtain a high filtration rate, a preferable anisotropic structure has an average pore diameter on the larger side of the surface pores that is 2 times or more and 500 times or less, preferably 5 times or more and 50 times or less, the average pore diameter of the dense layer. Further, in the structure from the surface with large pores to the dense layer, it is preferable that the average pore size changes continuously in order to uniformly disperse suspended substances inside the membrane. In addition, in order to improve the effect of trapping suspended solids, it is preferable that the thickness of the filtration membrane is thicker, but in terms of the strength of the filtration membrane and ease of handling, it is generally 20 μm or more and 1000 μm or less, preferably 100 μm.
A thickness of 300 μm or more is used. More preferably, a thickness of 170 μm or more and 300 μm or less is used.

来る。[0006] The precision filtration membrane of the present invention is obtained by casting a membrane-forming stock solution in which polysulfone and polyvinylpyrrolidone are dissolved in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and adding water in a dissolved state onto a support. By applying temperature-controlled moist air to the surface of the liquid film for a period of 1 second to 30 seconds, the evaporation of the solvent and the absorption of non-solvent vapor are controlled and the core is drawn from the surface of the liquid film to the inside. By causing cervation and then immersing the polymer in a coagulation solution containing a liquid that is a non-solvent and is compatible with the polymer's solvent, the above coacervation phase is fixed as micropores and the particles other than the micropores are fixed. Obtained by forming pores. On the other hand, in the method for controlling the anisotropy ratio of a microfiltration membrane of the present invention, the temperature of the coagulating liquid is adjusted to 80° C.
By changing the temperature below ℃, the time from the formation of the coacervation phase inside the dense layer (toward the back side) to solidification can be adjusted, and the size of the pores up to the back side can be controlled. This is possible. When the temperature of the coagulation liquid is raised, the coacervation phase is formed faster and the time required for solidification becomes longer, so the pore diameter toward the back surface becomes larger. On the other hand, when the temperature of the coagulation liquid is lowered, the formation of the coacervation phase is delayed and the time required for solidification is shortened, so that the size of the pores toward the back surface does not become so large. That is, by controlling the temperature of the coagulation liquid, the anisotropy ratio of the anisotropic film can be controlled. Further, the average pore diameter of the dense layer having micropores can be controlled by the amount of water contained in the film-forming stock solution, the water concentration contained in the temperature-controlled moist air applied after casting, and the time period during which the temperature-controlled moist air is applied.
