However, in spite of the need for high-speed spinning technology as one means for improving productivity with the increase in the number of patients with chronic renal failure, the spinning speed disclosed in the prior art is generally at most 50 m / min. It was low. When trying to increase productivity at such a low spinning speed,
Inevitably, the number of spinning spindles had to be increased, and as a result, production facilities had to be expanded. Further, when the spinning speed is increased as described above, the microstructure of the membrane is partially destroyed, which may impair the mechanical properties of the resulting hollow fiber membrane and the fractionation of the membrane. To solve this problem, no matter how the spinning control factor is controlled, the elongation of the membrane and the reduction of the molecular weight fractionation cannot be suppressed as long as the spinning speed is high, and it should be satisfied as a blood purification membrane. I couldn't get the kimono. For this reason, the present situation is that hollow fiber membranes for blood purification are manufactured at a spinning speed of 50 m / min or less, which is not so high while sacrificing productivity.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The inventors of the present invention diligently studied various spinning control factors in order to establish a high-speed spinning method for a hollow fiber type blood purification membrane, and as a result, suppressed the ballast effect occurring directly under the spinneret. By doing so, it was found that it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the mechanical strength and the fractionation property caused by the destruction of the fine structure of the film. The term "balus effect" means that the spinning dope swells outward in the diameter immediately after being discharged from the spinneret. Then, the draft ratio is calculated by comparing the conventionally known nozzle draft ratio (so-called apparent draft ratio: winding speed /

In the present invention, it is preferable to carry out spinning by a dry-wet method in which air is passed through the spinning nozzle before being immersed in the coagulating liquid. Specifically, when forming a hollow fiber membrane, a tube-in-orifice type spinneret is used, and a spinning dope and a hollow liquid for coagulating the spinning dope are simultaneously extruded into the air through the spinneret, and 50 After running in an idle section of up to 150 cm, it is immersed in a coagulation bath mainly composed of water installed under the spinneret, coagulated, and then wound up. The hollow internal liquid is a liquid that solidifies the spinning dope and is a liquid containing a poor solvent for the membrane material. Usually, water or a coagulating liquid mainly composed of water can be used, and its composition etc. may be decided depending on the membrane performance of the target hollow fiber membrane, but it cannot be decided unconditionally.
Generally, a mixed solution of the solvent used for the spinning dope and water is preferably used. For example, a 0-60 wt% DMAC aqueous solution or the like is used.

At this time, when the winding speed is a low spinning speed of less than 50 m / min, the elongation and the molecular weight fraction are set by setting the nozzle draft rate within the range of the prior art (about 0.95 or more). It was possible to form hollow fibers within a range that does not impair the properties. The nozzle draft ratio here is a value (apparent draft ratio) obtained by dividing the winding speed by the linear discharge velocity of the spinning dope. In addition, the linear velocity of the spinning dope discharged here is the linear velocity at which the spinning dope is discharged from the spinneret during spinning, and the discharge flow rate of the spinning dope per unit time is divided by the cross-section of the spinning dope. It is a value.

In order to solve this problem, the present inventor analyzed the flow of the spinning dope just below the spinneret. As a result, even in the process of spinning a hollow fiber membrane using the tube-in-orifice type spinneret as in the present invention, it is known in the conventional fiber spinning process that the spinning stock solution has a diameter outside the diameter immediately after being discharged from the spinneret. It was confirmed that a "ballast effect" that swells in the direction occurs. That is, as shown in FIG. 1, immediately after the spinning dope is discharged from the spinneret, the spinning dope swells to the outside of the diameter of the slit width of the spinning die, and then returns to a predetermined width by stretching. This indicates that the linear velocity of the spinning dope is greatly reduced just below the spinneret. In this way, the raw material discharge linear velocity directly below the spinneret changes due to the ballast effect, and the higher the spinning speed, the more pronounced the ballast effect becomes. It was found to be insufficient in controlling the membrane structure.

The present inventor newly proposes the concept of the true draft rate and defines it as the falling portion draft rate. The drop portion draft rate in the present invention is a value obtained by dividing the winding speed by the drop portion discharge linear velocity, where the drop portion discharge linear velocity is actually a ballast effect state directly below the spinneret with a microscope or the like. When confirming the
It is obtained by dividing by the cross-sectional area of the portion (b) where the diameter of the ballast portion is the maximum as shown in FIG. In the example of FIG. 1, it is a numerical value obtained by the following equation (1) and the dimension is adjusted to m / min. Droplet discharge linear velocity = stock solution discharge flow rate / [π (b / 2) 2 −π (c / 2)
2 ] (1) Since the draft ratio of the falling portion is the ratio of the winding speed to the slowest portion of the spinning dope immediately after the start of solidification, it substantially represents how much the spinning dope is stretched. It can be said that the draft rate.

According to the study of the present inventor, in high-speed spinning at a speed of more than 50 m / min or more, in order to carry out spinning without impairing the elongation and the molecular weight fractionation property of the hollow fiber, the falling portion draft ratio is 2.0. I found it necessary to do the following: When the draft ratio of the falling portion is larger than 2.0, the elongation of the yarn is lowered by the effect of the drawing, and the molecular weight fractionation property is deteriorated due to the partial structural destruction, so that the leakage of useful proteins such as albumin can be avoided. There will be problems such as not being. The lower limit of the draft ratio of the falling portion is not particularly limited, but if the hollow fiber membrane is loosened without being stretched at all and spun, the yarn path may not be stable, and problems such as inter-weight problems may occur. The range is preferably more than 1.0 and 2.0 or less.

The discharge linear velocities of the hollow internal liquid and the spinning dope which are discharged from the spinneret are not particularly limited in terms of absolute values, so the ranges are not particularly limited, but it is not possible to specify the relative linear velocity ratios thereof. It is important for suppressing the balass effect. The spinning dope discharged from the spinneret is guided to the coagulation bath through the idle section while being affected by the flow of the hollow internal liquid in addition to its own weight, so the discharge linear velocity of the hollow internal liquid becomes the discharge linear velocity of the falling part. It is preferable to relatively increase the ratio in order to alleviate the effect that the spinning dope is drawn more than necessary. This linear velocity ratio, that is, the value obtained by dividing the discharge linear velocity of the hollow inner liquid by the drop linear discharge linear velocity is preferably from 5 times to 10 times, and the discharge linear velocity of the hollow internal liquid is slow. The film is stretched by the force of winding and the membrane structure is broken, and the elongation of the hollow fiber is reduced. On the other hand, if the discharge linear velocity of the hollow inner liquid is too fast than the discharge linear velocity of the spinning stock solution at the falling portion, structural damage and non-uniform structure of the inner surface of the hollow fiber may occur due to the difference in velocity between the hollow inner liquid and the spinning stock solution. It is not preferable because it will occur. Therefore, the linear velocity ratio is preferably 5 times or more and 10 times or less, more preferably 6 times or more and 9.5 times or less.

At this time, the idling distance of the falling portion is also important. If the idling distance is too short, the spinning stock solution discharged from the spinneret enters the coagulation bath while the linear velocity of the dropping portion is still slow.
Since it solidifies, it is stretched by the force from the winding, and the elongation of the hollow fiber decreases. Further, if the idle running distance is too long, the speed of entering the coagulation bath is too high, and the hollow fibers move violently on the falling part and on the coagulation bath, causing a problem in productivity. Therefore, the free running distance is preferably 50 cm to 150 cm, more preferably 8 cm.
It is 0 cm to 110 cm.

What is important for setting the draft ratio of the falling portion to 2.0 or less is to set the viscosity of the spinning dope to an appropriate range. The lower the viscosity of the spinning dope, the less the influence of the ballast effect and the lower the draft ratio of the falling portion. However, if the viscosity of the spinning dope is too low, large macrovoids will appear remarkably inside the film. In the case of hollow fiber membranes for blood purification, if there are many such macrovoids,
Blood coagulation easily occurs during hemodialysis, and it is preferable that the hollow fiber membrane used for hemodialysis has no macrovoids. The term "macrovoid" used herein refers to a space having a maximum diameter of 5 µm or more in a space where no polymer exists in the film. On the other hand, if the viscosity of the stock solution is too high, the dispersion effect at the time of discharging the stock solution for the spinning becomes great, and not only the draft ratio at the falling portion rises, but also the pressure before the spinneret rises too much to make stable spinning impossible. Therefore, in the present invention,
The spinning solution viscosity is 1000 mPa · s or more and 3500 mPas.
-A range of s or less is preferable. The term “viscosity” as used in the present invention means that the spinning dope is measured with a rotary viscometer at the same temperature as the spinneret temperature under film forming conditions.

The viscosity of the stock solution for spinning depends on the molecular weight and concentration of the polymer dissolved in the stock solution, the temperature of the stock solution for spinning, and any factor has a significant influence on the formation of the membrane structure. The composition of the spinning dope also influences the viscosity of the dope, but the composition of the spinning dope of the present invention may be any known composition, and no particular composition range is set. The stock solution viscosity may be adjusted to the above range by appropriately selecting the raw material to be used and setting the concentration and temperature conditions.

Next important is the design of the spinneret. Of hollow liquid
The discharge linear velocity also affects the ballast effect, and the higher the linear velocity
The crowbar effect can be suppressed. Discharge line for hollow liquid
The speed can control the cross-sectional area of the liquid discharge part in the hollow of the spinneret.
The linear velocity of discharge can be achieved by reducing the discharge area.
The discharge linear velocity becomes slower if the discharge area is increased.
Become The area range depends on the inner diameter and thickness of the hollow fiber to be set.

On the other hand, for the spinning dope, the ratio of the width of the spinning dope discharge slit to the hollow fiber film thickness (film thickness ratio) is ± 2.
It is preferably within 0%. + For hollow fiber membrane thickness
If it is more than 20%, the set film thickness cannot be achieved unless it is stretched, so that the draft ratio of the falling portion becomes large. When it is -20% or less, the draft ratio of the falling portion can be set to be low, but the width of the spinning stock solution discharge slit is too narrow, resulting in a large pressure loss at the spinneret, and the spinning tends to be unstable. Moreover, since the discharge of the undiluted solution occurs, the membrane structure is disturbed, and the variations in water permeability and solute permeability become large. Furthermore, since the slit width is narrow, it is pointed out that it is difficult to align the cores of the spinneret, and it is difficult to manufacture the spinneret itself, resulting in high cost.

Then it is necessary to spin. When L / D is 0.5 or less, the linearity of the spinning dope is insufficient, the hollow fiber shape is not stable, and eccentricity is likely to occur.
