図1に示すように、分離膜エレメント1は、集水管6と、集水管6の周囲に巻回された分離膜3とを備える。また、分離膜エレメント1は、供給側流路材2および端板等の部材をさらに備える。
分離膜3は、透過側の面を内側に向けた矩形状の封筒状膜5を形成する。封筒状膜5は、透過水が集水管6に流れるように、その一辺のみにおいて開口し、他の三辺においては封止される。透過水はこの封筒状膜5によって供給水から隔離される。
供給側流路材2は、封筒状膜5同士の間、つまり分離膜3の供給側の面の間に配置される。供給側流路材2および複数の封筒状膜5は、重なった状態で、集水管6の周囲に巻き付けられる。
分離膜本体30を透過した水(図中に「透過水8」として示す。)は、透過側流路材4によって形成された流路を通って集水管6に流れこむ。こうして、透過水8は、集水管6の一端から回収される。
一方、分離膜本体30を透過しなかった水(図中に「濃縮水9」として示す)は、分離膜エレメント1の他端から回収される。
上述の分離膜エレメントに用いられる分離膜3としては、以下に述べる各種形態の分離膜を適用することができる。図面を参照しながら各形態について説明するが、以下において、他の図面を参照して説明した要素については、同符号を付してその説明を省略することがある。
分離膜とは、分離膜表面に供給される流体中の成分を分離し、分離膜を透過した透過流体を得ることができる膜である。分離膜は、分離膜本体と、分離膜本体上に配置された流路材とを備える。
このような分離膜の一例を図2に示す。図2に示すように、分離膜3は、分離膜本体30と透過側流路材4とを備える。分離膜本体30は供給側の面17と透過側の面18とを備える。
本発明において、分離膜本体の「供給側の面」とは、分離膜本体の2つの面のうち、原流体(供給水7)が供給される側の表面を意味する。「透過側の面」とは、その逆側の面を意味する。分離膜本体が、基材11及び分離機能層13を備える場合は、一般的に、分離機能層13側の面が供給側の面であり基材11側の面が透過側の面である。
(2-2-1)概要
分離膜本体30としては、使用方法、目的等に応じた分離性能を有する膜が用いられる。分離膜本体30は、単層であっても、基材および分離機能層を備える複合膜であってもよい。
図3および図4に複合膜の例を示す。図3に示す分離膜本体30は、基材11、多孔性支持層12および分離機能層13を備える。一方、図4に示す分離膜本体30Aは、基材11および分離機能層13の2つの層からなる。以下に、各層について説明する。
分離機能層13の厚みは具体的な数値に限定されないが、分離性能と透過性能の点で5~3000nmであることが好ましい。特に逆浸透膜、正浸透膜、ナノろ過膜では5~300nmであることが好ましい。
分離機能層の厚みは、これまでの分離膜の膜厚測定法に準ずることができる。例えば、分離膜を樹脂により包埋し、それを切断することで超薄切片を作製し、得られた切片に染色などの処理を行う。その後、透過型電子顕微鏡により観察することで、厚みの測定が可能である。また、分離機能層がひだ構造を有する場合、多孔性支持層より上に位置するひだ構造の断面長さ方向に50nm間隔で測定し、ひだの数を20個測定し、その平均から求めることができる。
(A)エチレン性不飽和基を有する反応性基および加水分解性基がケイ素原子に直接結合したケイ素化合物、ならびに
(B)前記化合物(A)以外の化合物であってエチレン性不飽和基を有する化合物
を含有することができる。
具体的には、分離機能層は、化合物(A)の加水分解性基の縮合物ならびに化合物(A)および/または化合物(B)のエチレン性不飽和基の重合物を含有してもよい。すなわち、分離機能層は、
・化合物(A)のみが縮合および/または重合することで形成された重合物、
・化合物(B)のみが重合して形成された重合物、並びに
・化合物(A)と化合物(B)との共重合物
のうちの少なくとも1種の重合物を含有することができる。なお、重合物には縮合物が含まれる。また、化合物(A)と化合物(B)との共重合体中で、化合物(A)は加水分解性基を介して縮合していてもよい。
なお、いずれの分離機能層についても、使用前に、例えばアルコール含有水溶液、アルカリ水溶液によって膜の表面を親水化させてもよい。
以下の構成は、分離機能と支持機能とが1つの層で実現される場合における分離機能層(図4参照)、および分離機能と支持機能とが別々の層で実現される場合における多孔性支持層(図3参照)に適用可能である。
基材11としては、強度、凹凸形成能および流体透過性の点で繊維状基材を用いることが好ましい。繊維状基材としては、長繊維不織布及び短繊維不織布のいずれも好ましく用いることができる。特に、長繊維不織布は、優れた製膜性を有するので、高分子重合体の溶液を流延した際に、その溶液が過浸透により裏抜けすること、多孔性支持層が剥離すること、さらには基材の毛羽立ち等により膜が不均一化すること、及びピンホール等の欠点発生を抑制できる。また、基材が熱可塑性長繊維より構成される長繊維不織布からなることにより、短繊維不織布と比べて、高分子溶液流延時に繊維の毛羽立ちによって起きる不均一化および膜欠点の発生を抑制することができる。さらに、分離膜は、連続製膜される時に、製膜方向に対し張力がかけられるので、寸法安定性に優れる長繊維不織布を基材として用いることが好ましい。
図2に示したように、透過側流路材(以下、単に「流路材」ともいう)4は、分離膜本体30の透過側の面18に固着する。具体的には、透過側流路材4は、透過側流路15を形成するように設けられる。「透過側流路を形成するように設けられる」とは、分離膜が後述の分離膜エレメントに組み込まれたときに、分離膜本体を透過した透過流体が集水管に到達できるように、流路材が設けられていることを意味する。
(a)高結晶性ポリプロピレン(A)の含有量が、組成物中、40~95重量%である。
(b)前記透過側流路材の融解吸熱量(ΔH)が20~70J/gである。
一方、透過側流路材のΔHが70J/gより大きい場合、透過側流路材を構成する組成物の結晶化が速いため、透過側流路を形成する際、組成物の冷却、固化に伴う体積変化量が非常に大きくなり、その結果、分離膜は大きくカールしてしまう。更には、透過側流路材は非常に脆くなってしまい、ロール搬送時に透過側流路材の破壊が発生する。
透過側流路材のΔHは、25~65J/gであることがより好ましく、30~60J/gであることが更に好ましい。なお融解吸熱量は、示差走査熱量計(DSC)にて測定される数値であり、測定方法の詳細については、後述する。
例えばトリコット等の編物が流路材として用いられた場合、流路の高さは編物の厚みよりも小さくなる。これに対して、不連続な流路材の厚みは全て、流路の高さとして活用されるので、不連続な流路材は、連続な形状よりも、流動抵抗を低減し、造水量を増加させることができる。
図5および図10に示すように、流路材42は、上部が略半球形状である円柱形の部材であって、分離膜本体30上に格子状に配置されている。図6に示す個々の流路材43の形状は図5に示した流路材42の形状と同じであるが、図6では、流路材43は千鳥状に配置されている。
分離膜本体の透過側の面に固着する流路材は、巻回方向におけるシートの内側端部から外側端部まで連続するように配置される。巻回方向の内側とは、分離膜本体において、集水管に近い側であり、巻回方向の外側とは、分離膜本体において集水管から遠い側であり、流路材は集水管の長手方向に直交していることが好ましい。
分離膜の透過側の高低差は、株式会社キーエンス製デジタルマイクロスコープ「VHX-1000」(商品名)などを用いて断面サンプルから計測することができる。測定は任意の高低差が存在する箇所について実施し、各厚みの値を総和した値を測定総箇所の数で割って求めることができる。
本発明において、突起物が固着されたシートは透過側流路材として採用することができる。図13に示すように、シート19上に突起物20が固着されたシート流路材47は、透過側流路材として2つの分離膜本体30Bの透過側面に配置される。
繊維状基材としては、長繊維不織布及び短繊維不織布のいずれも好ましく用いることができ、突起物のシートへの接着性、2枚の分離膜の透過側の面の間を封止する際のシートへの接着剤の含浸性、シート搬送におけるシート破れの防止の点から、繊維状基材の厚みは20~150μm、目付は20~100g/m2の範囲であることが好ましい。
一方、突起物のΔHが70J/gより大きい場合、シートに固着された突起物を構成する組成物の結晶化が速いため、突起物を形成する際、組成物の冷却、固化に伴う体積変化量が非常に大きくなり、その結果、突起物が固着されたシートは大きくカールしてしまう。更には、突起物は非常に脆くなってしまい、突起物が固着されたシートをロール搬送する際、突起物の破壊や破壊された場所を起点として、突起物のシートからの剥離が発生する。
低結晶性α-オレフィン系ポリマーは、例えば、上記した(B-1)低結晶性ポリプロピレン、(B-2)エチレン・α-オレフィン共重合体、(B-3)プロピレン・オレフィン共重合体等を例示できる。本発明においては、これらのうち1種または2種以上を用いることができる。なかでも低結晶性α-オレフィン系ポリマー(B)としては、高結晶性ポリプロピレンとの良好な相溶性、汎用性、シート流路材のカール改善効果等の観点から、(B-1)低結晶性ポリプロピレンおよび(B-3)プロピレン・オレフィン共重合体がより好ましい。
またその含有量は、突起物を構成する組成物の溶融粘度を調整するため、適宜設定できるが、突起物の耐圧性低下や突起物表面へのブリードアウトの発生を防ぐことを考慮すると、組成物中、50重量%以下であることが好ましく、40重量%以下であることがより好ましい。
例えばシート上に連続形状を有する突起物を設けた流路材の場合、流路の高さは連続形状を有する突起物の厚みよりも小さくなる。これに対して、不連続形状を有する突起物を設けた流路材の厚みは全て、流路の高さとして活用されるので、不連続形状の流路材は、連続形状の流路材よりも、流動抵抗を低減することができ、その結果、造水量を増加させることができる。
図14および図19に示すように、突起物21は、上部が略半球形状である円柱形の部材であって、シート19上に格子状に配置されている。図15に示す個々の突起物22の形状は、図14に示した突起物21の形状と同じであるが、図15では、突起物22は千鳥状に配置されている。
シート上に固着された突起物形態は、突起物がシートの縁まで設けられている形態であってもよいし、縁近傍において突起物が設けられていない領域がある形態であってもよい。つまり、シート上に固着された突起物が透過側の流路を形成できるように配置されていれば、シート上に突起物が設けられない部分があってもよい。縁近傍において突起物を設けられていない領域がある形態では、分離膜本体の透過側面を接着材で固着させる時、接着面は突起物による凹凸がないため、分離膜本体同士の接着性が向上する。更には接着面に突起物を設けられていない場合、当該部分の流路材使用量を削減することができる。
(3-1)分離膜本体
分離膜本体の製造方法については上述したが、簡単にまとめると以下のとおりである。
良溶媒に樹脂を溶解し、得られた樹脂溶液を基材にキャストして純水中に浸漬して多孔性支持層と基材を複合させる。その後、上述したように、多孔性支持層上に分離機能層を形成する。さらに、必要に応じて分離性能、透過性能を高めるべく、塩素、酸、アルカリ、亜硝酸などの化学処理を施し、さらにモノマー等を洗浄し分離膜本体の連続シートを作製する。なお、化学処理の前または後で、エンボス加工等によって分離膜本体に凹凸を形成してもよい。
(3-2-1)分離膜本体の透過側面に固着する流路材
透過側流路材を設ける工程は、分離膜製造のどの時点で行われてもよい。例えば、流路材は、基材上に多孔性支持層が形成される前に設けられてもよいし、多孔性支持層が設けられた後であって分離機能層が形成される前に設けられてもよいし、分離機能層が形成された後、上述の化学処理が施される前または後に行われてもよい。
シート上に突起物を設ける方法や加熱によって樹脂を突起物に加工する場合、上記「(3-2-1)分離膜本体の透過側面に固着する流路材」の項に記載した要件を好ましく採用できる。
(4-1)概要
分離膜エレメントの製造には、従来のエレメント製作装置を用いることができる。また、エレメント作製方法としては、参考文献(日本国特公昭44-14216号公報、日本国特公平4-11928号公報、日本国特開平11-226366号公報)に記載される方法を採用することができる。詳細は以下の通りである。
供給側流路材が、ネット等の連続的に形成された部材である場合は、分離膜と供給側流路材とを重ね合わせることで、供給側流路を形成することができる。
また、分離膜に樹脂を直接塗布することで、不連続な、または連続な形状を有する供給側流路材を形成することができる。分離膜本体に固着された供給側流路材によって形成される場合も、供給側流路材の配置が分離膜の製造方法の一部とみなされてもよい。
また、分離膜本体を凹凸加工することで、流路を形成してもよい。凹凸加工法としては、エンボス成形、水圧成形、カレンダ加工といった方法が挙げられる。エンボス加工の条件、エンボス加工形状等は、求められる分離膜エレメントの性能等に応じて適宜設計すればよい。この凹凸加工は、分離膜の製造方法の一部とみなされてもよい。
(4-3-1)分離膜本体の透過側面に固着する流路材
1枚の分離膜を透過側の面が内側を向くように折り畳んで貼り合わせることで、または2枚の分離膜を透過側の面が内側を向くように重ねて貼り合わせることで、図1に示したような封筒状膜5が形成される。上述したように、封筒状膜は三辺が封止される。封止は、接着剤またはホットメルト等による接着、熱またはレーザによる融着等により実行できる。
1枚の分離膜本体を透過側面が内側を向くように折り畳んで貼り合わせることで、または2枚の分離膜本体を透過側面が内側を向くように重ねて貼り合わせることで、封筒状膜5が形成される。その間に、透過側流路材を構成する、突起物が固着されたシート(シート流路材)が挿入される。
上述したように、封筒状膜は三辺が封止される。封止は、接着剤またはホットメルト等による接着、熱またはレーザによる融着等により実行できる。接着剤の粘度、塗布量、種類は、上記「(4-3-1)分離膜本体の透過側面に固着する流路材」の項に記載した要件が好ましい。
こうして接着剤が塗布された分離膜は、封筒状膜の閉口部分が巻回方向内側に位置するように配置され、集水管の周囲に分離膜が巻きつけられる。
分離膜エレメントの製造方法は、上述のように形成された分離膜の巻回体の外側に、フィルムおよびフィラメント等をさらに巻きつけることを含んでいてもよいし、集水管の長手方向における分離膜の端を切りそろえるエッジカット、端板の取り付け等のさらなる工程を含んでいてもよい。
分離膜エレメントは、さらに、直列または並列に接続して圧力容器に収納されることで、分離膜モジュールとして使用されてもよい。
また、上記の分離膜エレメント、モジュールは、それらに流体を供給するポンプや、その流体を前処理する装置などと組み合わせて、流体分離装置を構成することができる。この分離装置を用いることにより、例えば供給水を飲料水などの透過水と膜を透過しなかった濃縮水とに分離して、目的にあった水を得ることができる。
分離膜本体の基材側に透過側流路材を固着させた分離膜または突起物が固着されたシート(シート流路材)を、たて50cm、横50cmの大きさに切断して試験片とした。この試験片を定盤の上に載置し、試験片の4隅の浮き上がり量を測定し、その平均値を試験片のカール高さとした。この測定に供した試験片は5枚であり、試験片5枚の平均値を、分離膜またはシート流路材のカール高さ(h)とし、下記基準によって、カール性を評価した。なお「◎」および「○」を合格とし、分離膜またはシート流路材の取扱性が優れていると評価した。

次いで、櫛形シムから溶融樹脂を吐出させ、シート(ポリエチレンテレフタレート長繊維不織布、単糸繊度1.2dtex、厚み73μm、目付け50g/m2)上に突起物をストライプ状に9m/分の速度で加工し、フリーロールを介して、巻取機に巻き取り、シートロールを得た(巻取張力15N/m、巻き取りに使用したコア径3インチ)。シートロールからシート10mを巻出し、突起物が固着されたシート(シート流路材)を得た。
カール高さは1.1cmと低く、取扱性に極めて優れたシートであった。突起物が固着されたシートの巻き出し性評価を実施したところ、シートへの突起物の接着箇所は3箇所観察されたが、軽度な接着のため、比較的スムーズな巻き出しが可能であった。また突起物が固着されたシートに破損箇所は4箇所あったが、品質は良好であった。
突起物を構成する樹脂を、高結晶性PP(実施例1と同様)のみとした以外は、実施例12と同様に評価を行った。結果を表5に示す。
突起物が固着されたシートのカール高さは10cm以上と非常に高く、取扱性は極めて不良であった。突起物が固着されたシートの巻き出し性評価を実施したところ、シートへの突起物の接着箇所は観察されなかった。また突起物の破損箇所は11箇所以上あり、シートの品質は非常に悪いもであった。
高結晶性PP(実施例1と同様)96重量%/低結晶性α-オレフィン系ポリマー(出光興産株式会社製;低立体規則性PP「L-MODU・S400」(商品名)4重量%に変更した以外は、実施例12と同様に評価を行った。結果を表5に示す。
シートのカール高さは7.4cmと高く、取扱性は不良であった。シートの巻き出し性評価を実施したところ、シートへの突起物の接着は観察されず、スムーズな巻き出しが可能であった。また突起物の破損箇所は7箇所あり、シートの品質は悪いもであった。
高結晶性PP(実施例1と同様)35重量%/低結晶性α-オレフィン系ポリマー(出光興産株式会社製;低立体規則性PP「L-MODU・S400」(商品名)60重量%/タルク(林化成社製「ミクロンホワイト5000S」(商品名)5重量%)に変更した以外は、実施例12と同様に評価を行った。結果を表5に示す。
シートのカール高さは0.3cmと非常に低く、取扱性は極めて良好であった。シートの巻き出し性評価を実施したところ、シートへの突起物の接着は6箇所あり、スムーズな巻き出しが困難であった。また突起物の破損箇所は1箇所であり、シートの品質は極めて良好なものであった。
また実施例12と同様に脱塩率および造水量を測定したところ、エレメント性能は脱塩率98.3%と良好であったが、造水量は28.0m3/日(操作圧力1.5MPa)であり、上記実施例12と比べて20%以上低い値であった。運転終了後にシート上の突起物を観察したところ、突起物が圧縮変形し、透過水流路が閉塞していた。突起物を構成する高結晶性PP樹脂の含有量が少なく、また耐圧性(弾性率)が低いためと考えられる。
高結晶性PP(実施例1と同様)30重量%/低結晶性α-オレフィン系ポリマー(出光興産株式会社製;低立体規則性PP「L-MODU・S400」(商品名)50重量%/熱流動性向上剤(ヤスハラケミカル株式会社製;テルペン樹脂水素化物「クリアロンP125」(商品名)20重量%)に変更した以外は、実施例12と同様に評価を行った。結果を表5に示す。
シートのカール高さは0.2cmと非常に低く、取扱性は極めて良好であった。シートの巻き出し性評価を実施したところ、シートへの突起物の接着は10箇所以上あり、スムーズな巻き出しが困難であった。一方、突起物の破損箇所は観察されず、シートの品質は極めて良好なものであった。
また実施例12と同様に脱塩率および造水量を測定したところ、エレメント性能は脱塩率98.4%と良好であったが、造水量は25.3m3/日(操作圧力1.5MPa)であり、上記実施例12と比べて25%以上低い値であった。運転終了後にシート上の突起物を観察したところ、突起物が圧縮変形し、透過水流路が閉塞していた。突起物を構成する高結晶性PP樹脂の含有量が少なく、また耐圧性(弾性率)が低いためと考えられる。
