Description of the Related Art As this type of membrane separation device, for example, an immersion type membrane device in which a plurality of membrane elements are arranged in parallel at appropriate intervals is known. In such a membrane element, in a rectangular flat plate-like filter plate, one end is opened to the surface of the filter plate, and the other end is formed with a filtered water flow passage communicating with a filtered water suction pipe, and the surface of the filter plate is An organic filtration membrane is provided so as to cover it. A spacer is provided between the filter plate and the filter membrane to form a predetermined gap. When the treatment is performed, the membrane element is immersed in the water to be treated in the tank, and a negative pressure is applied through the membrane-treated water suction pipe to filter the water to be treated by the filtration membrane.

が破れるなど、強度上問題がある。However, in the production of the membrane element as described above, when an organic filtration membrane of polyolefin type, polysulfone type or the like is fixed with an adhesive, the membrane material itself dissolves in a solvent, so that the resin is easily removed. Although it can be bonded to the filter plate, there is a problem in strength such as the filter membrane being broken at the boundary of the bonded portion.

どの問題がある。Therefore, in order to improve the strength, a filtration membrane using a non-woven fabric as a support material is used. The non-woven fabric as a support material is mainly made of a heat-resistant material which is difficult to dissolve in a solvent such as saturated polyester because of its ease of manufacture. A plastic resin is used. However, when fixing a filtration membrane using a non-woven fabric that is difficult to dissolve in a solvent as a support material with an adhesive, the non-woven fabric is fixed by impregnating the non-woven fabric with the adhesive, and the strength, durability, and durability of the solidified adhesive are fixed. Since the fixing strength depends on chemical properties, there is a problem that the fixing strength is relatively weak. Particularly, in the case of a coagulation separation membrane to which ferric chloride or a sulfuric acid band is added, the peeling of the filtration membrane may occur due to insufficient chemical resistance. Further, in this case, there are problems that the working environment is deteriorated by the solvent during the production, and that it takes time to dry and solidify.

ある。Even when the tape is used for adhesion, there is a problem that the filtration membrane is easily peeled off. Further, when physically fixed, there is a problem that the structure of the membrane element becomes complicated.

In FIGS. 1 to 4, 1 is a rectangular flat plate-shaped filter plate, 2 is a filter membrane arranged to cover the surface thereof, and 3 is a spacer. The filter plate 1 is made of a thermoplastic resin such as ABS resin in a plate-like or frame-like shape, and a filtration-treated water channel (not shown) is formed, and the filtration-treated water channel communicates with the filtration channel. 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 supporting material, and is fixed to the filtration plate 1 at the peripheral edge portion 5. The spacer 3 is formed to have the same size as the filtration membrane 2 or smaller than the filtration membrane 2. However, it is not essential when a non-woven fabric as a support material of the filtration membrane 2 secures a gap serving as a flow path of the filtered water. .

ってもよい。When the membrane element as described above is manufactured, the filter plate 1, the filtration membrane 2 and the spacer 3 are arranged as shown in the drawing, and when the rotary type or the filtration membrane is small, the filtration membrane 2 is placed on the filtration membrane 2. 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 the supporting material of the filtration membrane 2 is made of saturated polyester or the like and thus melts at a temperature of 140 ° C. or higher, but the filter plate 1 is made of ABS resin or the like, and thus has a lower temperature than the nonwoven fabric. To melt. Therefore, about 140
When a temperature lower than ℃ is used, the filter plate 1 is melted and the nonwoven fabric is impregnated with the molten resin to fix the filter membrane 2 to the filter plate 1, and when a temperature higher than about 140 ° C. is used, When the filter plate 1 and the non-woven fabric are melted together, the filter plate 1 has a filter membrane 2
Is fixed. Since the ultrasonic fusion method easily melts from the inside, as shown in FIG. 3, a tape 7 having high heat resistance such as cellophane is placed on the filtration membrane 2, and the horn 6 is applied through the tape 7. It is effective to do. As shown in FIG. 4, the ultrasonic fusion-bonding portion includes a linear seal portion 8 for obtaining watertightness and a dot-like fixing portion 9 for preventing wrinkles of the filtration membrane 2. It is more advantageous to form the linear seal portion 8 narrower in terms of energy and weldability. The dot-shaped fixing portion 9 prevents wrinkles because it can be escaped by fixing it in a dot-like manner, and as shown in the figure, it does not matter whether it is vertical or horizontal with respect to the linear seal portion 8. It may be provided inside or outside the linear seal portion 8 or on both sides. The film may be fixed with a double-sided tape and then fused.

Since both are locally melted to fix the filtration membrane to the filter plate, stronger fixing strength can be obtained than when fixing with an adhesive.
