直径8インチのスパイラル型逆浸透膜エレメント(n2×(11/16)=44)における原水スペーサの厚さと膜面積の関係と、流量一定時の透過流束と線速との関係を、以下の表1,2に示す。
逆浸透膜分離処理において、NaCl水溶液、又は平均分子量10,000の高分子有機物を含む水を原水とする場合の透過流束又は平均線速と濃縮倍率(膜面濃度/平均バルク濃度)の関係を解析した結果、図2a,2bに示す関係が得られた。
図2a,2bより、高分子の種類によって多少の差異はあるものの、総じてNaClなどの分子量の小さい物質と比較して、高分子有機物の膜面濃度は、透過流束の増大、平均線速の低下により、著しく増加することが分かる。

実施例1~7では、500時間経過しても安定して高い透過水量を得ることができる。特に実施例6、7は500時間経過後では透過水量低下が起こらなかった。比較例1、4は透過水量の低下はそれほど起きないが、初期の透過水量が低いため、500時間後においても得られる透過水量は低い。比較例2,5は初期の透過水量は大きいが、透過水量の低下が大きいため、500時間後に得られる透過水量は低い。比較例3,6も透過水量の低下が大きく、500時間後に得られる透過水量は低い。比較例7のように、原水の分子量10,000以上の高分子有機物濃度が低い場合は、透過水量の低下が緩やかであった。
