Provided are a holding material for a gas treatment device, which is inexpensive, has a simple structure, and exhibits high holding force, a gas treatment device, and a method for manufacturing the same. A holding material for a gas treatment device according to the present invention is a holding material, which is a holding material to be arranged, in a gas treatment device including a treatment structure and a casing for housing the treatment structure, between the treatment structure and the casing, the holding material including silica fibers and an alumina sol in an amount of 3 parts by mass or more in terms of a solid content with respect to 100 parts by mass of the silica fibers.

Holding material for gas treatment device, gas treatment device, and production processes therefor

A holding material for gas treatment device, gas treatment device, and methods for those achieve proper control of a frictional resistance between the holding material and a casing. A method of treating a gas with a gas treatment device including a treatment structure, a casing made of a metal for housing the treatment structure and a holding material made of inorganic fibers placed between the treatment structure and the casing, the method including: placing an organic polymer between the holding material and the casing so that the organic polymer is brought into contact with an outer surface of the holding material and an inner surface of the casing during treatment of the gas; and treating the gas under a condition that a temperature of the casing is equal to or higher than a softening temperature of the organic polymer and lower than a decomposition temperature of the organic polymer.

A polysulfone-based blood treatment membrane that exhibits excellent antioxidant properties, excellent long-term storage stability, and a practical strength, and ensures high productivity, a polysulfone-based blood treatment membrane that exhibits excellent antioxidant properties and long-term storage stability, rarely allows endotoxins to enter a treatment liquid, exhibits a practical strength, and ensures high productivity, and a method of producing the same. A polysulfone-based blood treatment membrane includes a polysulfone-based resin, a hydrophilic polymer, and a lipophilic antioxidant, the membrane containing the lipophilic antioxidant in an amount of 30 to 76 mg per gram of the membrane, and the total amount of the lipophilic antioxidant present on the surface of the membrane being 4 to 25 mg per gram of the membrane. Another polysulfone-based blood treatment membrane contains a lipophilic antioxidant in an amount of 30 to 76 mg per gram of the membrane, wherein the inner surface of the membrane has a TOF-SIMS normalized peak intensity of the lipophilic antioxidant of 1.8.times.10.sup.-4 or more, and the outer surface of the membrane has a TOF-SIMS normalized peak intensity of the lipophilic antioxidant of 2.4.times.10.sup.-4 or more. A method of producing a polysulfone-based blood treatment membrane that includes a polysulfone-based resin, a hydrophilic polymer, and a lipophilic antioxidant includes producing a membrane intermediate that contains the lipophilic antioxidant in an amount of 30 to 76 mg per gram of the membrane intermediate, and heating the membrane intermediate at 100 to 180.degree. C. for 0.1 to 360 minutes in a dry state.
