The present disclosure relates to a process for producing a filtration and/or diffusion device, e.g., a capillary dialyzer or an ultrafilter.

The present invention pertains to a hollow fiber membrane module (5) for removing gas from an objective liquid or supplying gas to the objective liquid, comprising: a hollow fiber membrane bundle (20); and a collecting member (51) configured to collect first ends (20a) of the hollow fiber membrane bundle (20) while maintaining openings of opened end portions (22a) of hollow fiber membranes (22) of the hollow fiber membrane bundle (20), wherein the collecting member (51) has a coupling portion configured to couple the collecting member (51) to an installation object in a detachable and liquid-tight manner.

The present invention provides a hollow fiber membrane module that can effectively resolve the accumulation of suspended solids within the membrane module, lower running costs, and also operate stably. The present invention relates to a hollow fiber membrane molecule provided with: a cylindrical case having a first end and a second end in the direction of height; a plurality of hollow fiber membranes accommodated within the cylindrical case; and a first potting part accommodated within the cylindrical case and attaching the plurality of hollow fiber membranes together such that the end parts of the plurality of hollow membrane fibers at a first end side of the cylindrical case are open. The hollow fiber membranes are porous hollow fiber membranes having a breaking strength of 23 MPa, and the hollow membrane module has a membrane area per unit volume of 800-3700 m.sup.2/m.sup.3. The filling fraction for the hollow fiber membranes in a cross-section orthogonal to the direction of height of the cylindrical case is 25-38%.
