Patent attributes
To provide a method for improving a rejection rate of an RO membrane, which further improves the stability of removal performance (rejection rate) and flux stability (sustainability of contamination resistance). In a method for improving a rejection rate of an RO membrane, including a step of allowing an aqueous solution containing a polyphenol to pass through an RO membrane, the method further includes a step of allowing an aqueous solution containing at least one type selected from the group consisting of a modified poly(vinyl alcohol), a high molecular polysaccharide, and a poly(amino acid) to pass through the RO membrane. The method preferably further includes a step of allowing an aqueous solution containing an organic compound having an amino group and having a molecular weight of 1,000 or less to pass through the RO membrane.
