  • Publication number: 20230079167
    Abstract: A method of producing a hollow fiber membrane is provided. The method includes: extruding from a molding nozzle a membrane-forming stock solution, the membrane-forming stock solution containing a vinylidene fluoride-based resin, polyethylene glycol, and a common solvent, and having a slope (B) of 1.15 or more and less than 3.00 where the slope (B) is calculated by I=A×q?B from a scattering intensity of a small-angle X-ray; and solidifying the extruded membrane-forming stock solution in a solution containing water as a main component.

  • Publication number: 20210039050
    Abstract: A hollow fiber membrane contains a vinylidene fluoride-based resin and polyethylene glycol. In the hollow fiber membrane, the polyethylene glycol has a content of 1.0 part by weight or more and less than 5.0 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the vinylidene fluoride-based resin. In a case where the hollow fiber membrane is divided in three equal parts by a line drawn from an inner surface side to an outer surface side of the hollow fiber membrane in a radial direction of a cross section perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the hollow fiber membrane, and where polyethylene glycol normalized intensities at respective intermediate points are defined as inner surface part a, central part b, and outer surface part c, c is less than 0.3 and a is 0.5 or more.
