SEMIPERMEABLE VERBUNDMEMBRAN UND VERFAHREN ZU IHRER HERSTELLUNG

摘要

A semipermeable composite membrane which shows only a small reduction of water permeability even when it is subjected to one time hot water treatment or drying treatment is provided according to the method of the present invention. Said semipermeable composite membrane consists of a porous substance and a reinforcing material embedded therein. Said porous substance has a porous region of network structure at least in one part thereof and numbers of voids in said porous region. Said reinforcing material is a fabric in case of flat type membrane or a braid having a central hollow portion in case of hollow fiber type membrane which is embedded in the wall of the membrane. Said method comprises impregnating said reinforcing material with a polymer solution and treating the impregnated reinforcing material with a coagulating liquid.
