DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing hollow acrylic fibers, and particularly to a method for manufacturing hollow acrylic fibers having a fineness and having substantially continuous hollow portions.

[Conventional technology] In recent years, the use of hollow acrylic fibers has expanded, and applications that take advantage of their characteristics of low apparent specific gravity, bulk, and excellent heat retention and water absorption properties, as well as separation membranes for hemodialysis, plasma separation,
It is being developed for various separation applications such as gas separation.

However, conventional hollow acrylic fibers use a monohole ferrule that blows gas into the center of the pores, which have a diameter of 2 to 3 cm, and are very large, with a single fiber denier or more than 10 deniers and an outer diameter of several hundred micrometers or more. Only thick ones have been obtained (for example, JP-A-61-28014, JP-A-61-296115, etc.). For this reason, there have been problems such as insufficient bulkiness, water absorption, etc., and the inability to increase the filling rate of hollow fibers within the separation device.

Furthermore, as a method for producing fine-grained hollow acrylic fibers,
A technique has been proposed (Japanese Patent Publication No. 18332/1983) in which polymers with different copolymer concentrations are placed in a core-sheath cap to create a hollow core, but this method simply lowers the concentration of the core polymer using the same polymer. Therefore, it cannot be completely hollowed out and only a porous structure consisting of a group of micropores is obtained in the core, and the bulkiness is insufficient. 2. It cannot be used as a separation membrane fiber, or the fineness is 3 denier. There was a problem that only thicker pieces could be obtained.

Therefore, the present inventors conducted extensive research into a method for producing hollow acrylic fibers having a fineness and a substantially continuous hollow portion, and arrived at the present invention.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing hollow acrylic fibers with fine fineness and continuous hollow portions, which could not be achieved with the above-mentioned conventional techniques.

[課題を解決するための手段] 本発明の上記課題は、芯鞘口金を用いて、鞘部ポリマー

[Means for Solving the Problems] The above-mentioned problems of the present invention are to provide a core-sheath base with an intrinsic viscosity of at least 1.5 times that of the sheath polymer and a polymer concentration of 0.
.. This problem can be solved by a method for manufacturing hollow acrylic fibers, which is characterized by incorporating less than 5 times as much acrylic polymer into the core.

すなわち、アクリル系繊維の紡糸方法には、湿式紡糸法
および乾湿式紡糸法を採用できるが、細繊度が得られや
すい乾湿式紡糸法がより好ましい。
That is, although a wet spinning method and a wet-dry spinning method can be adopted as a spinning method for the acrylic fiber, the wet-dry spinning method is more preferable because it can easily obtain fineness.

いずれの場合にも芯鞘口金を用いて、鞘部ポリマーに対
して極限粘度が1.5倍以上、好ましくは2.0倍以上
で、ポリマー濃度が0,5倍未満。
In either case, using a core-sheath ferrule, the intrinsic viscosity is 1.5 times or more, preferably 2.0 times or more, and the polymer concentration is less than 0.5 times that of the sheath polymer.

好ましくは0.3倍未満、さらに好ましくは0゜15倍

It is essential that the core contains preferably less than 0.3 times the amount of acrylic polymer, more preferably less than 0.15 times.

すなわち、濃度の比か0. 5倍以上では芯部か微小な
空孔よりなる多孔質な構造しか得られず、完全な中空が

That is, the ratio of concentrations is 0. If it is 5 times or more, only a porous structure consisting of minute pores in the core will be obtained, and complete hollowness will not be obtained, which is not preferable. The lower the concentration of the core polymer, the more continuous and complete the hollow part becomes, which is preferable. However, if the viscosity of the core polymer becomes too low due to a decrease in concentration, the yarn may break frequently near the spinneret, resulting in unstable spinning. Can not do it. In order to perform stable spinning even if the concentration ratio is lowered to less than 0.5, the intrinsic viscosity ratio must be 1°5.
It is essential that it is at least twice as large.

The acrylic polymer used as the core and sheath polymer is a homopolymer of 100% acrylonitrile or a vinyl monomer copolymerizable with at least 60 mol% or more of acrylonitrile and 40 mol% or less, such as acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, itaconic acid. and copolymers thereof with alkali metal salts, ammonium salts and lower alkyl esters, acrylamide and its derivatives, allylsulfonic acid, methallylsulfonic acid and their salts or alkyl esters. Although the copolymerization composition of the core and sheath polymers may be the same, it is more preferable for hollow formation to have a copolymerization component of the sheath polymer greater than that of the core polymer.

By adjusting the discharge amount of these cores and sheaths, the hollowness ratio can be freely adjusted. As the cap, a well-known core/sheath cap can be used, but since an eccentric type has a hollow portion unevenly positioned, a concentric cap is preferable.

The number of die holes is selected to be approximately 100 to 10,000, but it is preferable to appropriately optimize the number from the viewpoint of productivity, die cost, etc.

As for the stretching method, a combination of bath stretching, dry heat stretching, or wet heat stretching can be used, but a combination of bath stretching or wet heat stretching is preferred since the hollows are less likely to collapse.

Also in the drying and densification step, it is preferable to carry out gradually at a low temperature of about 100 to 130° C., since rapid drying may cause hollow spaces to collapse.
