  • Patent number: 9504962
    Abstract: A gas separation membrane module in which deformation of a tube sheet such as swelling and shrinkage can be prevented in gas separation. The gas separation membrane module includes a hollow fiber bundle provided by bundling multiple hollow fiber membranes, a module vessel in which the hollow fiber bundle is placed, and a tube sheet fixing the plurality of hollow fiber membranes at an end portion of hollow fiber bundle. The cross section of the tube sheet includes a hollow fiber membrane embedded portion in which the hollow fiber membranes are embedded and a solid portion in which no hollow fiber membrane is embedded, and the solid portion is located outside the hollow fiber membrane embedded portion. At least some of the hollow fiber membranes are wound with reinforcing fiber cloth at least within the hollow fiber membrane embedded portion.

  • Patent number: 8388733
    Abstract: A hollow fiber element constituting a separation membrane module for separating an organic vapor is disclosed. At least one end part of a fiber bundle consisting of multiple hollow fiber membranes having a selective permeability is fixed and bound with a tube sheet formed by a cured material of an epoxy resin composition. Herein, a resin component of the epoxy resin composition contains an epoxy compound (A) represented by the following formula (1), an epoxy compound (B) represented by the following formula (2) and an aromatic amine compound (C), and wherein the epoxy compound (A) and the epoxy compound (B) are blended at a proportion in a range from 90:10 to 60:40 by weight; wherein R denotes alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms or hydrogen atom.
