2. Description of the Related Art As this kind of membrane separation apparatus, for example, an immersion type membrane apparatus in which a plurality of membrane elements are arranged in parallel at appropriate intervals is known. In such a membrane element, a filtered water flow path is formed in a rectangular flat filter plate, one end of which is open to the surface of the filter plate and the other end communicates with the filtered water suction pipe, and the surface of the filter plate is formed. An organic filtration membrane is provided to cover. Further, a spacer for forming a predetermined gap between the filter plate and the filtration membrane is provided. When performing the treatment, the membrane element is immersed in the water to be treated in the tank, and a negative pressure is applied through a membrane overtreatment water suction pipe to filter the water to be treated with the filtration membrane.

However, when the above-mentioned membrane element is manufactured, when an organic filtration membrane of a polyolefin or polysulfone type is fixed with an adhesive, the membrane material itself is easily dissolved in a solvent because the membrane material itself is dissolved in a solvent. Although it can be adhered to a filter plate, there is a problem in strength such as a filter membrane being broken at the boundary of the adhered portion.

Therefore, a filtration membrane using a non-woven fabric as a support material is used to improve the strength, and the non-woven fabric as the support material is mainly made of a heat-resistant material that is hardly soluble in a solvent such as saturated polyester because of its ease of production. A plastic resin is used. However, when a nonwoven fabric that is difficult to dissolve in a solvent is used as a supporting material to fix a filtration membrane with an adhesive, the nonwoven fabric is fixed by impregnation of the nonwoven fabric with the adhesive, and the strength, durability, and durability of the solidified adhesive are fixed. Since the fixing strength is affected by chemical properties and the like, there is a problem that the fixing strength is relatively weak. In particular, a coagulation separation membrane to which ferric chloride or a sulfate band is added may cause peeling of the filtration membrane due to insufficient chemical resistance. Further, in this case, there are problems that the working environment is deteriorated by the solvent at the time of manufacturing, and it takes time to dry and solidify.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a method for manufacturing a membrane element according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 to 4, reference numeral 1 denotes a rectangular flat filter plate, reference numeral 2 denotes a filtration membrane disposed so as to cover the surface thereof, and reference numeral 3 denotes a spacer. The filter plate 1 is made of a thermoplastic resin such as an ABS resin in a plate-like or frame-like shape. A filter-treated water flow path (not shown) is formed, and the filter plate 1 communicates with the filter-treated water flow path to perform filtration. A treated water suction pipe 4 is provided. The filtration membrane 2 is formed by integrally forming a membrane on the surface using a thermoplastic non-woven fabric such as saturated polyester as a support material, and is fixed to the filter plate 1 at a peripheral portion 5 thereof. The spacer 3 is formed to have the same size as the filtration membrane 2 or smaller than the filtration membrane 2, but is not essential when a nonwoven fabric as a support material of the filtration membrane 2 secures a gap to be a flow path of the filtration water. .

When manufacturing the above membrane element, the filter plate 1, the filter membrane 2, and the spacer 3 are arranged as shown in the figure. By applying the fixed horn 6,
The filter plate 1 and the filter membrane 2 are ultrasonically fused. At this time, the nonwoven fabric as a support material of the filtration membrane 2 is formed of a saturated polyester or the like and thus melts at, for example, a temperature of 140 ° C. or higher. Melts. Therefore, about 140
When a temperature lower than 0 ° C. is used, the filter plate 1 is melted and the molten resin is impregnated into the nonwoven fabric, whereby the filter membrane 2 is fixed to the filter plate 1. When a temperature higher than about 140 ° C. is used, As the filter plate 1 and the nonwoven fabric melt together, the filter membrane 2
Is fixed. Since it is easy to melt from the inside by the ultrasonic fusion method, as shown in FIG. 3, a highly heat-resistant tape 7 such as cellophane is arranged on the filtration membrane 2 and a horn 6 is applied through the tape 7. It is effective to do. As shown in FIG. 4, the ultrasonic fusion parts include a linear seal part 8 for obtaining watertightness and a dotted fixing part 9 for preventing wrinkles of the filtration membrane 2. It is advantageous to form the linear seal portion 8 to be thin in terms of both energy and weldability. The point-like fixing portions 9 prevent the wrinkles because they can escape by being fixed in a point-like manner. As shown in FIG. It may be provided inside, outside, or both sides of the linear seal portion 8. After fixing the film with a double-sided tape, fusion may be performed.

As described above, according to the present invention, the resin filter plate is locally melted and the molten resin is impregnated into a nonwoven fabric as a support for the filtration membrane, or the resin filter plate and the nonwoven fabric are combined with each other. By employing a configuration in which the filter membrane is fixed to the filter plate by locally melting both of them, a stronger fixing strength can be obtained than when the filter membrane is fixed with an adhesive.
