As a blood treatment membrane, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-70524 discloses a method of forming a membrane by using polyvinylpyrrolidone as a pore-forming agent together with polysulfone.

No. 24, JP-A No. 11-309355, JP-A No. 9-70524, etc., in any case, when the control of the pore size is the polysulfone in the membrane forming stock solution as a parameter, the polysulfone concentration is changed. There was a need. That is, in order to improve the water permeability, it is necessary to reduce the polysulfone concentration, but in that case, there are drawbacks such as a decrease in hollow fiber strength and a deterioration in spinnability.

The purpose is to improve.

とを特徴とする半透膜の製造方法をその骨子とする。To achieve the above object, the present invention has the following constitution. That is, the present invention provides a polysulfone-based resin containing two or more kinds of polysulfone-based resins having different weight average molecular weights, a hydrophilic polymer and a solvent, and having the smallest weight-average molecular weight among the two or more kinds of polysulfone-based resins. A skeleton is a method for producing a semipermeable membrane, which comprises using a membrane-forming undiluted solution having a mixing ratio of 10 to 70% by weight to all polysulfone-based resins.

For example, it is also possible to use a benzene ring part which is modified by substitution with an amino group or a sulfonic acid group. In the present invention, polysulfone or polyether sulfone is preferably used, but polysulfone is particularly preferable.

い。Regarding the concentration of the polysulfone resin in the membrane-forming stock solution used in the present invention, the film-forming property improves as the concentration increases, but conversely the porosity of the membrane decreases and the water permeability tends to decrease. . Therefore, the concentration of the polysulfone-based resin is preferably 10 to 30% by weight, and more preferably 15 to 21% by weight in the membrane-forming stock solution.

ことによるものと推定される。In the present invention, two or more kinds of polysulfone resins having different weight average molecular weights are used. By using two or more types of polysulfone-based resins having different weight average molecular weights, it is possible to effectively improve the water permeability. The mechanism of action is not clear, but when a polysulfone-based resin having a high weight average molecular weight is used, the particles of the inner surface skin layer become large and large pores can be obtained. It is presumed that this is because polyvinylpyrrolidone becomes difficult to be detached.
【0010】本発明において、ポリスルホン系樹脂の中
で最小の重量平均分子量を持つポリスルホン系樹脂の全
ポリスルホン樹脂に対する混合比率が10〜70%である必
要があり、好ましくは25〜50%である。In the present invention, the mixing ratio of the polysulfone resin having the smallest weight average molecular weight among the polysulfone resins to the total polysulfone resin needs to be 10 to 70%, preferably 25 to 50%.

果的に向上させることができる。In the present invention, the weight average molecular weight is 50.
It is preferable to use at least one polysulfone-based resin that is different by at least 00. Water permeability can be effectively improved by using polysulfone-based resins having different weight average molecular weights of 5,000 or more.

で、製膜性や透水性を向上させることができる。The hydrophilic polymer used in the present invention is, for example, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyethylene glycol,
Examples thereof include polyvinyl alcohol and carboxymethyl cellulose. Among them, polyvinylpyrrolidone is preferably used. By using polyvinylpyrrolidone, film forming properties and water permeability can be improved.

場合、製膜時に糸切れ、糸揺れなどを起こし製糸安定性
に劣る場合があるため、ポリビニルピロリドンの平均分
子量は高いことが好ましく、4万以上が好ましい。Since the molecular weight of polysulfone resin is generally low, when polyvinylpyrrolidone is used as the hydrophilic polymer, the viscosity of the stock solution for film formation tends to depend on the molecular weight of polyvinylpyrrolidone. If the viscosity of the stock solution for film formation is low, yarn breakage, yarn sway, etc. may occur during film formation, resulting in poor yarn forming stability. Therefore, the average molecular weight of polyvinylpyrrolidone is preferably high, and 40,000 or more is preferable.

膜原液における親水性高分子の濃度は2〜20重量%が好
ましく、さらには3〜9重量%が好ましい。The concentration of the hydrophilic polymer in the stock solution for film formation is
Although the viscosity increases and the film-forming property improves as the temperature is increased, the amount of hydrophilic polymer to be discarded increases because most of it is used as a pore-forming material and then washed away. Therefore, the concentration of the hydrophilic polymer in the membrane-forming stock solution is preferably 2 to 20% by weight, more preferably 3 to 9% by weight.

き起こす可能性がある。The content of the hydrophilic polymer in the formed semipermeable membrane is preferably 1 to 15% by weight. If it is less than 1% by weight, the wettability becomes insufficient and, for example, when it comes into contact with blood, it may cause coagulation due to airlock.

In this respect, when polyvinylpyrrolidone is used as the hydrophilic polymer, it is preferable that the film-forming stock solution contains 1.8 to 20% by weight of polyvinylpyrrolidone having a molecular weight of 100,000 or more. Here, if it exceeds 20% by weight, the viscosity of the undiluted solution increases, making not only film formation difficult but also water permeability,
Diffusion performance tends to decrease. On the other hand, if it is less than 1.8% by weight, for example, it becomes difficult to form a membrane structure having appropriate pores for permeating a medium- and high-molecular-weight uremic protein.

らジメチルアセトアミドが好ましい。The stock solution for film formation in the present invention must contain a solvent. That is, a good solvent for the polysulfone resin and the hydrophilic resin is used. Specific examples thereof include dimethylacetamide, dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, acetone, acetaldehyde, and 2-methylpyrrolidone, but dimethylacetamide is preferable in terms of danger, safety and toxicity.

をいう。First, a film-forming stock solution containing polysulfone and polyvinylpyrrolidone and a core solution are simultaneously discharged from a die having a double slit tube structure to a dry zone at the same time. Here, the core liquid is, for example, a solution composed of dimethylsulfoxide, dimethylacetamide, and water, and serves as a semipermeable membrane supporting member in a film-formed state. By maintaining the atmosphere in the dry zone under specific conditions, it is possible to suppress changes in performance due to seasonal variations. That is, if the dry zone temperature and the relative humidity are too high, the outer surface is solidified before the phase separation occurs inside the hollow fiber membrane to form a dense layer. If the dry zone temperature and relative humidity are too low, the outer surface is solidified because it is immersed in water before phase separation, and a dense layer is formed. Therefore, it is preferable that the dry zone temperature satisfy the condition of the temperature of the spinneret part −40 ° C. ≦ the temperature of the dry zone ≦ the temperature of the spinneret part −15 ° C. Also, the relative humidity is 60%
It is preferably at least 95%. Here, the relative humidity means the ratio of the water vapor pressure and the saturated water vapor pressure expressed in%.

ることが好ましい。After spinning under the above-mentioned conditions, a predetermined water washing process is performed, and then the film is wound, dried and then modularized. When the wound hollow fiber membrane is used for artificial kidneys, polyvinylpyrrolidone is often eluted as it is,
Since the numerical value described in the device type artificial kidney approval standard tends not to be satisfied, it is preferable to crosslink by γ ray, electron beam, heat, chemical treatment or the like to reduce the eluate. The cross-linking treatment reduces the elution of polyvinylpyrrolidone due to the binding of polysulfone and polyvinylpyrrolidone.
Furthermore, to prevent the elution of polyvinylpyrrolidone, γ
It is preferable to wash the module with water that has passed through the degassing membrane before the irradiation with rays.
