Abstract

A hollow fiber filtration membrane in which even when a relatively small contaminant having a size close to that of a permeation effective component is present in a filtration solution, Flux decrease over time during filtration is suppressed, and a useful component can be efficiently recovered, the hollow fiber filtration membrane including a polysulfone-based polymer and a hydrophilic polymer and having a large number of pores, the hollow fiber filtration membrane having a gradient asymmetric porous structure in which an average pore diameter of the pores increases from an outer surface portion toward an inner surface portion of the membrane, a content of the hydrophilic polymer of the membrane being from 6.0 to 10.0% by mass, a ratio between a content of the hydrophilic polymer at the inner surface portion and the content of the hydrophilic polymer of the membrane being in the range of from 0.50 to 0.80.
