- the existence state of water contained in the composite semipermeable membrane is classified into two types, it can be classified into free water that weakly interacts with the polymer and bound water that interacts strongly with the polymer and has low permeability.
- the presence of free water and bound water affects the water permeability of the composite semipermeable membrane and the swelling state of the polymer.
- the peak of 3900 cm ⁇ 1 to 2900 cm ⁇ 1 represents the stretching vibration of the OH bond of the water molecule contained in the separation functional layer.
- the half width H is small indicates that the ratio of bound water in the total amount of water contained in the separation functional layer is large. Therefore, the smaller the half width H, the lower the water permeability of the membrane.
- a large half-value width H indicates that the ratio of free water in the total amount of water contained in the composite semipermeable membrane is large. Therefore, the greater the half width H, the better the water permeability, but the solute ions and water are more likely to interact, and the hydrated ions in the solute permeate with the water and the salt removal performance decreases.
- the inventors have found that when the half width H is 355 or more and 373 or less, high water permeability can be obtained while maintaining high salt removal performance, and the durability is also excellent.
- the half width H is preferably 368 or more and 372 or less.
- the value F of (B) above indicates the water content of the separation functional layer of the composite semipermeable membrane. Therefore, if this value is 850 or more, the water permeability is high.
- the value F is preferably 1500 or less. By being 1500 or less, the hole structure for expressing favorable removal performance can be maintained.
- the saturated salt method described in JIS B 7920 can be used as a method for adjusting the relative humidity at a certain temperature.
- the IR spectrum of the composite semipermeable membrane can be measured by total reflection infrared spectroscopy (ATR). Specifically, it will be described in Examples.
- the separation functional layer contains a hydrophilic polymer such as polyamide, which will be described later, it retains a lot of intermediate water (also referred to as hydration water). This is due to separation.
- the amount of intermediate water in the separation functional layer is related to the higher order structure of the polymer constituting the separation functional layer, and the intermolecular voids of the polymer form a larger structure as more intermediate water is retained.
- the smaller the intermolecular gap in the separation functional layer the higher the solute removal performance of the composite semipermeable membrane. On the other hand, if the intermolecular gap is too small, the water permeability is lowered.
- the hydration state in the separation functional layer can be analyzed by a temperature modulation DSC method.
- the temperature-modulated DSC method is a thermal analysis method in which heating and cooling are repeated with a constant period and amplitude, and the temperature is increased and measured on an average, and a signal observed as a total heat flow is converted into a reversible component derived from a glass transition or the like. It can be separated into irreversible components derived from dehydration and the like.
- the separation function layer obtained by extracting and removing the microporous support layer with a solvent such as dichloromethane is measured as an analytical sample. Analyze the endothermic amount of irreversible components in the range of -20 to 150 ° C. The endothermic value is obtained as an average of three measurements.

- the present inventors have found that it is preferable because the performance and the high salt removal performance are more easily compatible.
- the temperature indicating the endothermic amount that is 1 ⁇ 2 of the peak value is more preferably ⁇ 4 ° C. or higher and ⁇ 3 ° C. or lower.
- the integral value is more preferably 250 J / g or more and 300 J / g or less.
- the presence of water contained in the composite semipermeable membrane is divided into free water, which interacts weakly with the polymer, and bound water, which interacts strongly with the polymer and has low mobility, and has an intermediate strength. There is intermediate water presenting an interaction.
- the peak value and the integral amount are particularly in the range of ⁇ 10 ° C. to 0 ° C., which shows the endothermic peak of the intermediate water by the DSC method. It is a good indicator of the characteristics of the interaction between water and water.
- the temperature indicating the endothermic amount that is 1 ⁇ 2 of the peak value of the irreversible endothermic amount of water is in the range of ⁇ 5 ° C. or higher and ⁇ 2 ° C. or lower. This means that the interaction is uniform, leading to a uniform structure of the inter-polyamide voids.
- ⁇ By adopting a uniform structure in the range of ⁇ 10 ° C. or more and 0 ° C. or less where the intermolecular voids show the endothermic peak of intermediate water, variation in solute permeability is suppressed, and a membrane having high salt removal performance can be obtained. Furthermore, that the integrated value is 200 J / g or more and 300 J / g or less means that the amount of water in the polyamide that contributes to permeability is large, that is, a membrane that satisfies both parameters has high water permeability. High salt removal performance is easily achieved.
- the separation functional layer of the composite semipermeable membrane according to the present invention has an average pore radius measured by a positron annihilation lifetime measurement method of 0.15 nm or more and 0.42 nm or less. It is preferable for compatibility.
- the intermolecular voids are sufficient to exhibit high water permeability. Furthermore, high salt removability is expressed by forming an intermolecular void having an average pore radius of 0.42 nm or less.
- the positron annihilation lifetime measurement method measures the time (in the order of several hundred picoseconds to several tens of nanoseconds) from when a positron is incident on a sample to disappear, and based on the annihilation lifetime, This is a technique for nondestructively evaluating information such as the size of ⁇ 10 nm holes, their number density, and their size distribution. This measurement method is also described in “4th edition, Experimental Chemistry Course”, Volume 14, page 485, edited by The Chemical Society of Japan, Maruzen Co., Ltd. (1992).
- This method is classified into two types according to the type of positron source.
- One is a 22Na method using a radioisotope (22Na), and this method is suitable for evaluating pores of resin, powder, fiber, liquid and the like.
- the other is a positron beam method using a positron beam emitted from an electron beam accelerator as a positron beam source.
- This method is used for evaluating vacancies on thin films with a thickness of about several hundreds of nanometers formed on various substrates. Useful.
- the latter positron beam method is more preferable as a method for measuring the separation functional layer of the composite semipermeable membrane.
- the separation functional layer can be measured simply by maintaining the sample in a dry state, such as isolating the separation functional layer from the composite semipermeable membrane. This is because no special processing is required.
- the measurement area in the depth direction from the sample surface is adjusted by the amount of energy of the positron beam incident on the sample.
- the higher the energy the deeper the portion from the sample surface is included in the measurement area, but the depth depends on the density of the sample.
- a region having a depth of 50 to 150 nm from the sample surface is usually measured by irradiating a positron beam having an energy of about 1 keV.

- o-Ps In aggregated materials, there is a higher probability that o-Ps overlaps with electrons other than those that are bonded to them (a phenomenon called pickoff annihilation), and as a result, the average lifetime of o-Ps decreases to a few nanoseconds. To do.
- the disappearance of o-Ps in the insulating material is due to the overlap of the electrons present in the vacancy wall of the material and o-Ps, so that the annihilation rate increases as the vacancy size decreases. That is, the annihilation lifetime ⁇ of o-Ps can be related to the size (diameter) of vacancies existing in the insulating material.
- the annihilation lifetime ⁇ due to the pick-off annihilation of o-Ps can be calculated by using a positron annihilation lifetime curve measured by a positron annihilation lifetime measurement method using a nonlinear least square program POSITRONFIT (for example, P.

本発明の複合半透膜は、基材及び微多孔性支持層を有する支持膜と、微多孔性支持層上に設けられた分離機能層とを備える。
本発明において支持膜は、実質的にイオン等の分離性能を有さず、実質的に分離性能を有する分離機能層に強度を与えるためのものである。
支持膜の孔の大きさや分布は特に限定されないが、例えば、均一な微細孔、あるいは分離機能層が形成される側の表面からもう一方の面まで孔の大きさが徐々に大きくなる微細孔を持ち、かつ、分離機能層が形成される側の表面における孔の大きさが0.1nm以上100nm以下であるような微細孔を持つ支持膜が好ましい。

また、上記半値幅Hは、好ましくは368以上372以下である。
温度変調DSC法は、加熱と冷却を一定の周期及び振幅で繰り返しながら平均的に昇温して測定する熱分析法であり、全熱流として観測されるシグナルをガラス転移等に由来する可逆成分と脱水等に由来する不可逆成分とに分離できる。
上記標準偏差は、より好ましくは1nm以上55nm以下であり、さらに好ましくは1nm以上50nm以下である。
以上に説明した本発明の複合半透膜の製造方法の一例を以下に示す。
本発明の複合半透膜の製造方法は、微多孔性支持層上に分離機能層を形成する工程を備える。
この工程は、微多孔性支持層上で、多官能性アミン水溶液並びに脂肪族カルボン酸及び多官能性酸ハロゲン化物を含有する溶液を接触させることで、界面重縮合反応によりポリアミドの層を形成するステップと、界面重縮合の反応場にSP値7(cal/cm3)1/2以上15(cal/cm3)1/2以下の化合物を添加するステップと、を有する。
(1)微多孔性支持層に多官能性アミン水溶液を接触させるステップ、
(2)上記ステップ(1)の後に、上記微多孔性支持層に脂肪族カルボン酸と多官能性酸ハロゲン化物とを含有する溶液を接触させるステップ、
(3)上記ステップ(2)の開始から5秒以上60秒以下の時間をおいて、上記ステップ(2)の脂肪族カルボン酸以外の化合物であって7(cal/cm3)1/2以上15(cal/cm3)1/2以下のSP値を有する化合物を上記微多孔性支持層に接触させるステップ、を有する。
上記ステップ(1)及び(2)によると、微多孔性支持層に、上述の多官能性アミンを含有する水溶液(以下、多官能性アミン水溶液ともいう。)と、脂肪族カルボン酸と多官能性酸ハロゲン化物とを含有する溶液(以下、多官能性酸ハロゲン化物溶液ともいう。)とを接触させ、微多孔性支持層の表面上で界面重縮合を行うことにより、ポリアミドを生成することができる。
=20×(親水部の式量の総和)/(分子量)
また、1,2-ビス(2-アミノエトキシ)エタン、ジプロピレングリコールジメチルエーテルも使用できる。
本発明の複合半透膜の製造方法は、微多孔性支持層の形成工程を含んでもよい。基材についてはすでに例示したとおりである。
上記方法により得られた複合半透膜は、50~150℃、好ましくは70~130℃で、1秒~10分間、好ましくは1分~8分間熱水処理する工程等を付加することにより、複合半透膜の塩除去性能及び透水性能を向上させることができる。
次に、当該複合半透膜を、ジアゾニウム塩又はその誘導体と反応する水溶性化合物(II)と接触させる。ここでジアゾニウム塩又はその誘導体と反応する水溶性化合物(II)とは、塩化物イオン、臭化物イオン、シアン化物イオン、ヨウ化物イオン、フッ化ホウ素酸、次亜リン酸、亜硫酸水素ナトリウム、亜硫酸イオン、芳香族アミン、フェノール類、硫化水素、チオシアン酸等が挙げられる。
ジアゾニウム塩又はその誘導体と反応する水溶性化合物(II)と接触させる温度は10~90℃が好ましい。この温度範囲であると反応が進みやすく、一方ポリマーの収縮による透過水量の低下も起こらない。
このように製造される本発明の複合半透膜は、プラスチックネット等の原水流路材と、トリコット等の透過水流路材と、必要に応じて耐圧性を高めるためのフィルムと共に、多数の孔を穿設した筒状の集水管の周りに巻回され、スパイラル型の複合半透膜エレメントとして好適に用いられる。さらに、このエレメントを直列又は並列に接続して圧力容器に収納した複合半透膜モジュールとすることもできる。
pH6.5に調整した塩化ナトリウム溶液500mg/Lを操作圧力0.5 MPaで複合半透膜に供給し、透過水中の塩濃度を測定した。膜による塩除去率は次の式から求めた。また、水酸化ナトリウム水溶液(pH12)に25℃で72時間浸漬した後、再度評価した際の塩除去率を測定した。
塩除去率(%)=100×{1-(透過水中の塩濃度/供給水中の塩濃度)}
供給水(塩化ナトリウム溶液)の膜透過水量を、膜面1平方メートルあたり、1日あたりの透水量(立方メートル)でもって膜透過流束(m3/m2/d)を表した。また、水酸化ナトリウム水溶液(pH12)に25℃で72時間浸漬した後、再度評価した際の膜透過流束を測定した。
JIS B 7920に記載されている飽和塩法を用いて、一定温度条件下での相対湿度の調整を行った。具体的な手順は以下のとおりである。
容量2.7Lの容器(飽和槽)に飽和溶液を200mL入れた。水に浸漬しておいた複合半透膜(面積:約2cm2)を濡れた状態で、飽和塩溶液に接触しないように入れて密閉し、25℃のインキュベータ内で7日静置した。相対湿度を11.3%とする場合には、塩化リチウムの飽和水溶液を用い、相対湿度を97.3%とする場合には硫化カリウムの飽和水溶液を用いた。
複合半透膜のIRスペクトルは、全反射赤外分光法(ATR)で得た。具体的には、Nicolet(株)製Avatar360 FT-IR測定機によって測定を行った。また、全反射測定用のアクセサリーとして同社製の一回反射型水平状ATR測定装置(OMNI-Sampler)及びゲルマニウム製のATRクリスタルを用いた。
複合半透膜から基材を剥離し、残った微多孔性支持層をジクロロメタンによって抽出除去することで分離機能層を単離した。単離された分離機能層を温度変調DSC法により分析し、初期昇温過程における-20~150℃の範囲での不可逆成分の吸熱量(mW)を3回の測定し、その平均値を算出した。この平均値から、図1のようなスペクトルを得た。
本実施例及び比較例おける分離機能層の陽電子消滅寿命測定は、以下のように陽電子ビーム法を用いて行った。
すなわち、減圧下室温で複合半透膜を乾燥させ、1.5cm×1.5cm角に切断して検査試料とした。陽電子ビーム発生装置を装備した薄膜対応陽電子消滅寿命測定装置(この装置は、例えば、Radiation Physics and Chemistry,58,603,Pergamon(2000)で詳細に説明されている。)にて、ビーム強度1keV、室温、真空下で、光電子増倍管を使用して二フッ化バリウム製シンチレーションカウンターにより総カウント数500万で検査試料を測定し、POSITRONFITにより解析を行った。解析により得られた第4成分の平均寿命τから、平均孔半径を算出した。
分離機能層中のひだ構造において、複合半透膜の膜面方向における長さが2.0μmである任意の10箇所の各断面の電子顕微鏡画像を用いて、分離機能層における10点平均面粗さの5分の1以上の高さを有する凸部の高さの標準偏差及び、上記電子顕微鏡画像における上記凸部の平均高さを測定した。
ポリエステル不織布(通気度0.5~1cc/cm2/sec)上にポリスルホンの15.7重量%DMF溶液を200μmの厚みで、室温(25℃)でキャストし、ただちに純水中に浸漬して5分間放置することによって支持膜(厚さ210~215μm)を作製した。
