性能を併せ持つ膜が必要とされる。In recent years, the application of reverse osmosis membranes to water treatment containing contaminants such as various surfactants represented by sewage is expected. In this case, high reverse osmosis membrane performance (high salt In addition to blocking performance and high water permeability, high contamination resistance is required to maintain the water permeability for a long period of time. In order to satisfy these two requirements, the reverse osmosis membrane and the conventional post-treatment method are not sufficient, and a higher performance reverse osmosis composite membrane is required. One of the contamination mechanisms is the charge state of the membrane. For example, a crosslinked polyamide type reverse osmosis membrane obtained by interfacial polymerization of a polyfunctional aromatic amine and a polyfunctional alicyclic acid halide has a negative charge on the surface due to the influence of the residual carboxylic acid. For example, a cationic contaminant or the like is adsorbed on the negatively charged membrane surface, resulting in a decrease in water permeability. Therefore, there is a need for a membrane that is neutral in terms of charge and has both high water permeability and high salt rejection.

And the specific surface area of the layer containing the at least one substance or the separation active layer before the surface coating is 2 or more and 100 or more.
0 or less. In the present invention, the separation active layer and the skin layer are synonymous. In the above, the specific surface area is defined by the following equation. Specific surface area of skin layer = (surface area of skin layer) / (surface area of support) The surface area of the skin layer represents the surface area on the side that comes into contact with the supply liquid. The surface area of the support indicates the surface area of the support membrane, such as polysulfone, with which the sponge layer below the skin layer is in contact. The fact that the specific surface area of the skin layer is 2 or more is realized when the surface of the support film is relatively flat and the surface of the skin layer is uneven or wrinkled. The measuring method for obtaining the surface area and the specific surface area includes a general measuring method, for example, a surface area measuring device, a specific surface area measuring device, a scanning electron microscope, a transmission electron microscope, or an atomic force microscope.

を抑制するからである。In the reverse osmosis composite membrane, at least one substance selected from an electrically neutral organic substance and an organic polymer is preferably an organic substance or an organic polymer having a nonionic hydrophilic group. . Electric neutrality is preferred because it suppresses the electrical adsorption of membrane contaminants having charged groups present in water on the membrane. Further, when it has a nonionic hydrophilic group (for example, -OH group),
This is because, when the film contaminant has a hydrophobic group in addition to the above-described electrically neutral property, adsorption due to hydrophobic interaction in the film is suppressed.

It is preferably a polyvinyl alcohol which is insoluble in water and soluble in water at 80 ° C. Such polyvinyl alcohol has a high effect of suppressing the adsorption of film contaminants. Conversely, polyvinyl alcohol, which is insoluble in water at a temperature exceeding 80 ° C., tends to be unable to suppress the adsorption of membrane contaminants because the number of alcohol groups is small. Further, in the reverse osmosis composite membrane, the saponification degree of polyvinyl alcohol is preferably 95% or more. This is because an alcohol group can be sufficiently secured.

Alternatively, it is preferably an organic polymer and its thickness is in the range of 0.001 to 1 μm. When the thickness exceeds 1 μm, the water permeability after the coating treatment is greatly reduced, and when the thickness is less than 0.001 μm, uniform coating treatment becomes difficult.

Preferred aromatic polyamides are wholly aromatic polyamides in which both the acid component and the amine component contain aromatics. Such an aromatic polyamide can maintain high water permeability and high salt rejection.

In the conventional reverse osmosis composite membrane, the surfactant was adsorbed to the membrane, and stable performance was not obtained. On the other hand, when the reverse osmosis composite membrane of the present invention was used, the surfactant was applied to the membrane.

It is preferable to treat with at least one substance selected from polymers. The at least one substance selected from such electrically neutral organic substances and organic polymers is an organic substance or organic polymer having both a cationic group and an anionic group, and these are copolymers and blends. Prepared. The term “having both a cationic group and an anionic group” refers to a substance in which a cationic group and an anionic group coexist in one molecule if it is a single molecule. As a result, they become neutral because they mutually cancel each other out electrically. In addition, in the case of a blend or composition of a plurality of molecules, as a result of mixing, the total of the cationic groups and the total of the anionic groups become substantially the same, and neutral because they mutually cancel each other out electrically. . Therefore, in the case of a blend or a composition, it suffices if the entire system is neutral. Such a nonionic hydrophilic group is represented by, for example, the following formula (Chemical Formulas 1 to 4)

ある。When polyvinyl alcohol is used, the degree of saponification is 95% or more, and more preferably, the degree of saponification is 99 to 10.
The range is 0%. In this case, polyvinyl alcohol becomes water-insoluble at 25 ° C. due to intermolecular hydrogen bonding,
It is soluble in water at 80 ° C. Satisfying these conditions is due to the increase in hydrophilicity due to the large number of -OH groups on the membrane surface in contact with the treated water, thereby increasing the resistance to contaminants, and also reducing the amount of permeated water due to the surface treatment. Restrained,
This is preferable because very good film performance can be added.
