20120168370 | METHOD OF IMPROVING REJECTION OF PERMEABLE MEMBRANE AND PERMEABLE MEMBRANE - Provided is a method capable of effectively improving the rejection of a membrane without considerably lowering the permeation flux, even when the membrane has significantly degraded. The method of improving the rejection of a permeable membrane includes a step (amino treatment step) of passing an aqueous solution (amino treatment water) having a pH of 7 or less and containing an amino group-containing compound having a molecular weight of 1000 or less through the permeable membrane. After this amino treatment step, water having a higher pH than the amino treatment water is allowed to pass through the permeable membrane. Thus, by allowing the low-molecular-weight amino compound to pass through the membrane, a degraded portion of the membrane can be restored without considerably lowering the permeation flux of this permeable membrane, and the rejection can be effectively improved. | 2012-07-05 |
