Abstract

A method for manufacturing a composite semipermeable membrane is capable of forming, on a surface of a porous support in a highly reproducible manner, a separation layer that is extremely thin and that exhibits superior separability. It provides, on a surface of a porous support, a composite semipermeable membrane that has an organic/inorganic hybrid separation layer that is extremely thin and that exhibits superior separability. A method for manufacturing a composite semipermeable membrane includes forming, on a surface of a porous support, a separation layer containing a cross-linked condensate having a siloxane bond by bringing an organic solution that contains an organic silicon compound containing three or more reactive functional groups, each of which is at least one type selected from a hydrolyzable group and a hydroxyl group, into contact with water or an aqueous solution on the porous support, and by performing interfacial polycondensation of the organic silicon compound.

Claims (5)

1. A method for manufacturing a composite semipermeable membrane, comprising bringing an organic solution containing an organosilicon compound having three or more reactive functional groups of at least one selected from a hydrolyzable group and a hydroxyl group into contact with water or an aqueous solution on a porous support to carry out interfacial polycondensation of the organosilicon compound and form a polysiloxane separation layer containing a cross-linked condensate having a siloxane bond on a surface of the porous support.

2. The method for manufacturing a composite semipermeable membrane according to claim 1 , wherein the hydrolyzable group is halogen, an alkoxy group, an alkenyloxy group, an acyloxy group, an aryloxy group, a ketoxime group, an aminohydroxy group, an amino group, an alkylamino group, a cyano group, and an isocyanate group.

3. The method for manufacturing a composite semipermeable membrane according to claim 1 , wherein the organosilicon compound contains a compound represented by the following general formula (1):

wherein R 1 to R 6 are each independently hydrogen, a hydroxyl group, halogen, an alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, an alkoxy group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, an alkenyloxy group having 2 to 12 carbon atoms, an acyloxy group having 2 to 12 carbon atoms, an aryloxy group, a ketoxime group, an amino group, an alkylamino group, a cyano group, an aminohydroxy group, or an isocyanate group, and X is a saturated hydrocarbon group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, an unsaturated hydrocarbon group having 2 to 12 carbon atoms, a functional group having a heterocycle, or —R 7 —NR 8 —R 9 —(wherein R 7 and R 9 are each independently a saturated hydrocarbon group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms or an unsaturated hydrocarbon group having 2 to 12 carbon atoms, and R 8 is hydrogen, an alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, or an alkenyl group having 2 to 12 carbon atoms).

4. The method for manufacturing a composite semipermeable membrane according to claim 1 , wherein the aqueous solution contains a surfactant.
