There are those made from polypropylene, such as those described in No. 003,400. These microporous membranes are used for filtration and sterilization of electronic industry cleaning water, medical water, water for pharmaceutical manufacturing processes, food water, etc., and their applications and usage have expanded in recent years, especially in terms of particle capture. Highly microporous membranes are attracting attention and are widely used.
(発明が解決しようとする問題点)
しかしながら従来の微孔性膜は、単位面積当たりの濾過

くの濾過ユニットを並列して使用することを余儀無くさ
れている。そこで濾過工程のコストダウンの面で濾過速
度を上げる事は当業界の技術的課題であった。(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, conventional microporous membranes cannot be said to have a sufficient filtration rate per unit area, and in order to obtain the required filtration flow rate, it is necessary to filter at a higher pressure, or Increasing the membrane area (many filtration units are forced to be used in parallel) Therefore, increasing the filtration speed in order to reduce the cost of the filtration process has been a technical challenge in the industry.
このような観点から、従来微孔性腺の改質のために、出

能の低下を伴い好ましくない。From this point of view, it has been known to treat the finished membrane with an organic solvent such as alcohol in order to modify the microporous glands.
The issue describes a method for increasing the filtration rate by treating polysulfone semipermeable membranes with alcohol. However, in the case of this method, since the increase in filtration rate is due to the increase in the pore size of the membrane, this is not preferable as it involves a decrease in the separation ability that the membrane should originally maintain.
そこで本発明者等は、アルコール処理が膜に与える効果

た。Therefore, the present inventors investigated in detail the effect that alcohol treatment has on membranes, and found that two phenomena exist: the porosity of the membrane increases at the very early stage of alcohol treatment, and the average pore diameter subsequently increases. The present invention was achieved by discovering the following.
従って本発明の第1の目的は、単位面積当たりの濾過流

には微孔性膜の孔径が大きくなるので好ましくない。(Effect) The immersion time varies depending on the temperature of the alcohol, and there is no limit as long as it does not cause a substantial change in pore size.
