(16)限外ろ過又は精密ろ過用である、前記(1)~(13)のいずれか一に記載の多孔質膜又は前記(14)若しくは(15)に記載の複合膜。
(17)膜分離活性汚泥処理用である、前記(16)に記載の多孔質膜又は複合膜。
本実施形態に係る多孔質膜は、少なくとも一方の表面に凸部と凹部とを備える凹凸構造を有し、当該表面の基準表面からの高さが20nmの平面における断面積が0.01μm2~0.10μm2である凸部の平均数密度が1.0個/μm2以上であることを必要とする。以降、本明細書において、かかる凹凸構造を有する表面を「特定表面」ということがある。本実施形態に係る多孔質膜は、例えば河川水をはじめとする自然水、凝集剤や活性汚泥など含有する水を原液として処理するのに好適である。これらの被処理液はいずれも多種多様な成分を含有し、また、活性汚泥の場合は微生物の死骸や代謝物などを含有する。なかでも、多孔質膜のファウリングを構成する成分としてミクロンサイズの比較的大きな懸濁物が存在する。そのため、上述の関係を満足するような膜、すなわち多孔質膜表面に凸部と凹部を備えることで、ファウリング生成を抑制し、また、ファウリングが生じたとしてもそのファウリングを容易に剥離することができるようになる。本実施形態に係る多孔質膜によれば、原液中の比較的大きな粒子と多孔質膜との接触面積を小さくすることができ、その結果、懸濁物の多孔質膜表面への付着を防ぐことができる。これにより、長期安定運転が可能になる。より優れた低ファウリング性を発現するには、特定表面において、表面の基準表面からの高さが20nmの平面における断面積が0.01μm2~0.10μm2である凸部の平均数密度が1.5個/μm2以上であることが好ましい。
表面の基準表面からの高さが50nm及び20nmの各平面における断面積が0.01μm2~0.10μm2である凸部の平均数密度は、上記の凸部の断面積の測定から得られた、基準表面から高さが50nm及び20nmの各位置における、基準表面と平行な方向の断面において、凸部の断面積が0.01μm2~0.10μm2である凸部を数え、測定領域の面積で割った値から算出する。
