Abstract

A composite semipermeable membrane which has a high electrolytes rejection even when the concentration of the electrolytes in feed water is very low and even if the pH of feed water is not less than 8 is disclosed. The composite semipermeable membrane of the present invention comprises a microporous substrate and a cross-linked polyamide-based ultra-thin membrane laminated on the microporous substrate, the ultra-thin membrane having a covalently bonded quaternary nitrogen atom.
