Abstract
A filter element comprising porous hollow fiber filter membranes arranged in a lengthwise direction and fusion-bonded together at one or both of their respective end portions to form a unified terminal block which has through-holes communicating with the hollows of the remaining unbonded portions of the membranes and having diameters substantially the same as the inner diameters of the membranes. The filter element not only is excellent in resistance to heat and chemicals, but also can realize an efficient filtration.
