Abstract

PURPOSE:To repair the defective bonded sites on the end face of a module without closing the opening of a hollow yarn membrane by spraying an adhesive on the end faces of the hollow yarn membrane module with both ends opened. CONSTITUTION:Plural polysulfone hollow yarn membranes are bundled in parallel, both ends are bonded and fixed by epoxy resin, and both ends are cut off after the resin is cured to open the hollow yarn membranes. The end face of the obtained module is dipped in water, a pressurized gas is supplied, and the leaking site due to defective bonding is confirmed by the generation of bubbles. An epoxy resin adhesive is then uniformly coated on one end face of the module by air spraying. After the material is allowed to stand, the adhesive is also coated on the other end face in the same way, solidified, and then cured. By this method, the defective bonded sites on the end faces of the module can be completely and conveniently repaired, and the appearance of the end faces and the smoothness of the surface are improved.

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a method for repairing the end face of a hollow fiber membrane module,
More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for completely and easily repairing leak points on the end face of a module.

Fluid separation devices using hollow fiber membrane modules are widely used for processing various industrial liquids, gases, and medical applications.

Hitherto, as the above-mentioned repair methods, a transfer method in which a transfer material is applied (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 179107/1983) and a repair method using air blowing (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 1790108/1989) have been proposed.

転写法ではスクリーンのオープニング部を中空糸開口部

あった。
In the transfer method, it is difficult to prevent the opening part of the screen from coming into contact with the hollow fiber openings, and in the case of hollow fibers with a small inner diameter, the hollow openings tend to be closed.

送風による補修法も送風しなから他端面に塗布すると樹
脂が端面に付きK<<−度中空糸開口部に入ると詰まっ

があった。
The repair method using air blowing also has the drawback that if the resin is applied to the other end face without air blowing, the resin will stick to the end face and if it enters the hollow fiber opening, it will remain clogged and more hollow fibers will become occluded.

In particular, when both end faces are repaired, the end faces to be repaired later tend to be particularly prone to uneven air blowing, resulting in many blind spots. Such a closed eye not only reduces the effective filtration area, but also causes problems such as the formation of a liquid reservoir inside the module and the growth of bacteria.

In view of this situation, as a result of intensive study on these points, we have found a method that can completely repair leaks due to poor adhesion with simple operations, and have completed the present invention.

That is, the present invention provides a module in which a plurality of hollow fiber membranes are bundled in parallel and the membranes are adhesively fixed to each other with casting resin so that the hollow fiber membranes are open at both ends, and the membranes are adhesively fixed to each other with casting resin. This method repairs the end face of the hollow fiber membrane without clogging the opening of the hollow fiber membrane using the air pressure of the spray.

Example: 3200 polysulfone hollow fiber membranes with an inner diameter of 700 μm and a membrane thickness of 270 μm, an inner diameter of 89JEIE and a length of 1.12fl.
It was housed in a +t+a polysulfone split cylindrical case, both ends were adhesively fixed with epoxy resin, and after the resin had hardened, both ends were cut to open the hollow fiber membrane to obtain a hollow fiber membrane separation module. When we immersed the end of this module in water and supplied pressurized gas to the outside of the hollow fiber membrane to check for leaks from the generation of air bubbles, we found that there were several leaks due to poor adhesion, such as separation between the hollow fiber membrane and the adhesive. We confirmed that this was occurring.

First, an epoxy resin adhesive having a viscosity (measurement method: B-type viscometer, measurement temperature: 25° C.) of 500 cp was uniformly applied to one end surface of the module by air spray. The air pressure at that time was 1.5 kg/cyt2, and the air was blown so that the film thickness was approximately 200 μm. The adhesive was left to stand for about 1 hour, and the adhesive was similarly applied to the other end face, left to stand for 1 hour to solidify, and then hardened at 50° C. for about 8 hours. The module thus obtained was subjected to a leak test again, but no leaks were found.
