Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a heat resistant dialytic hollow yarn membrane prevented from the lowering in ultrafiltration efficiency, by performing a heat set process at an optimum temp. and setting the ratio of elastic moduli before and after dry heat treatment under a specific condition so as to satisfy a specific range. CONSTITUTION:For example, when a cellulose ester type hollow yarn is prepared, a molten polymer is ejected from an annular nozzle and a heat set process is applied to the ejected hollow yarn through a solidification bath, a washing process, a glycerine treatment process and a drying process. By selecting the temp. of the heat set process in an optimum temp. range equal to or more than the temp. of the drying process, structural stabilization is achieved. Thereafter, the formed hollow yarn membrane is assembled in a dialytic module and, thereafter, subjected to dry heat treatment at 80 deg.C for 20hr. The treated membrane of which the ratio of elastic moduli before and after dry heat treatment satisfies a range of 0.90-1.10 is not lowered in its ultrafiltration efficiency and has excellent heat resistance.

As hemodialysis performance has improved with the development of hemodialysis methods, the burden on patients suffering from renal failure has been significantly reduced compared to before. A particularly problematic aspect of hemodialysis performance that can be life-threatening is water removal performance, that is, ultrapolar fraction rate (UFR).

Conventional hollow fiber membranes for dialysis are quite sensitive to heat. Therefore, when a module filled with it is transported to a medical institution or stored there for a long period of time, the environment becomes a problem. If the environment was at a high temperature exceeding 50° C., there would be a disadvantage that the VFR would drop significantly.

The term "fixed length" as used herein refers to a state in which the hollow fiber membrane is fixed at both ends of the case containing the hollow fiber membrane for dialysis with an adhesive that does not denature due to heat, and is maintained at a constant length. Therefore, the dry heat treatment is performed for each case filled with the hollow fiber membrane. The conditions for this dry heat treatment are 80℃
In order to keep the temperature constant regardless of the location, it was necessary to circulate the air in the dryer to stabilize the environment around each hollow fiber membrane. Next, the conditions for measuring the elastic modulus will be described. The elastic modulus value was determined by a universal tensile tester at a hollow fiber membrane length of 50 mm and a tensile speed of 101! I! l/l
It was obtained by calculating from the stress-strain curve obtained by measurement under the conditions of llIn. This measurement was performed on 30 samples for each sample, and the elastic modulus of the 30 samples was averaged to obtain the desired value. The temperature at the time of measurement was 20° C., and the measurement was performed under environmental conditions such that the influence of heat on the hollow fiber membrane could be ignored.

This final step, the heat-setting step, needs to be carried out at a high temperature higher than the drying process temperature.Since the normal drying process temperature is 60" to 90°C, the heat-setting process temperature is 60" to 150°C. ℃.The hollow fiber membrane obtained in this way has higher heat resistance than the hollow fiber before the heat setting process.Here, let us take cellulose ester, especially cellulose acetate, as an example. 0 As far as this hollow fiber membrane is concerned, the microstructure of the cellulose acetate membrane can be considerably stabilized by performing the heat setting step at a temperature below the glass transition temperature in the spinning process.The optimum temperature range for this heat setting step is: If the drying process temperature is 60℃, 60℃~12
The temperature is 0°C, preferably 70°C. This stabilizes the structure, and after incorporating the hollow fiber membrane into a dialysis module, dry heat treatment is performed at 80°C for 20 hours, and the VFR decreases before and after the heat treatment), and the elastic modulus also follows equation (1). This was confirmed. The heat treatment temperature was set at 80°C in consideration of the environment surrounding the hollow fiber membrane when the hollow fiber membrane is used clinically for dialysis and when stored.

The hollow fiber membrane spun in the present invention contains glycerin and water in an appropriate ratio to reinforce the porous structure. The fractions are 40-50% glycerin and 5-10% water. When applying the heat setting step, it is preferable to perform the heat setting step so as not to change the weight fraction of water and glycerin. Therefore, even if heat setting is performed at a temperature below the glass transition temperature, it is not preferable to heat the film at a temperature above 120°C.
