BACKGROUND ART [0002] In recent years, industrial developments have ‘caused various environmental problems due to pollutants ‘eaused by rapid economic growth, population growth and urbanization 10003} ‘That is, pollutants such as wastewater, heavy met- ‘ls, dust nd harmful gas are discharged from manufocturing plants and industrial facilites of various industries, living ‘eiliies, automobiles and motoreycles, thereby polluting sie and water quality 0008} These pollutants are interfering. with the life of human being, who wants to live pleasant and healthy life ‘and various solutions © purify the pollutants have been ‘ough andthe research and development for this have beea ‘continously and variously contimied, 10005] An example technique for purifying contaminants fs to filter the contaminated gos of liguid through « mem brane 10006] Membranes can separate and filter only certain ‘components from gases, liquids, solids or mixtures therco, ‘and the mixture is filtered sing the physicochemical prop: crtes of the membrane [0007] | Membranes in a water treatment fed are classified jnto porous membranes, microporous membranes and homogeneous membranes depending on the structure of the ‘membrane, and they are classified into microfiltration mem- branes, ultrafltation membranes, reverse osmosis: mem- branes, gas separation membrane, and pervaporation mem- branes Jepending on their applications 10008] Here, a polymer membrane is prepared by casting «polymer solution into a sheet and then immersing iin 8 solid phase. The polymer membranes have been used a8 & ‘wide range of membranes ranging from mierofiltmation to zs permeation. 0009] Korean Patent Application Publication No. 2011- £85096 proposed a composite iter in which activated carbon fibers and ion exchange fibers are laminated on a side wall ‘of @ housing, However, there was a disadvantage that the ize of the filter is lage i the form of a composite filter. [0010] Korean Patent Registration Publication No. 507969 proposed a technique of producing a web by form= ing a web of ion exchange fiber on an ion exchange nonwoven fabric, sprinkling ion exchange resin on the web, phicing an ion exehange nonwoven Tabrie thereon, and removing ionic gas such as acidic or alkaline present in 2 ‘lean room of Semiconductor manufacturing process, ith 8 non-woven type composite ion exchenge filter using neadle punching. However, since the pores of he nonwoven fabric arc large, the very fine harmful dust cannot be filtered, ‘and the ion exchange resin sprayed on the ion exchange ronwoven fabric may flow to thereby cause an additional source of pollution to occur May 17, 2018 DISCLOSURE Technical Problem [0011] The present disclosure has been made in view of | the above circumstances and has aa object to provide aa ‘adsorptive membrane capable of adsorbing ionie foreign substances and physically filtering foreign substances by pores ta impove the adsorption performance while preser\~ fing the flow rate [0012] It is another object of the present disclosure to provide an adsorptive membrane capable of obtaining. an excellent antibacterial property by including an adsorptive ‘member made by acctimolating nanofibers containing an antibacterial substan or by performing a silver yarn stiteh- ‘ng process on @ membrane. Technical Solution [0013] According to an aspect of the present disclosure there is provided an adsomptive membrane comprising: support ember having a plurality of first pore; anda fist adsorptive member whieh i stacked on the suppor member ‘nd has a plurality of second pores formes therein and which js made by accumulating ion exchange nanofibers. for ‘adsorbing foreign substances. [0014] In addition, in the adsorptive membrane seconling {o an embodiment of the present disclosure, the support member may be a nonwoven fabric ar a woven fabric. [0015] In addition, in the adsorptive membrane seconing to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the fist pore size may be large than the second pore ize. [0016} In addition, inthe adsorptive membrane eeconding {fo an embodiment of the present disclosure, the ion exchange nanofibers may be cation exchange nanofibers or anion exchange nanofibers. [0017] In addition, inthe adsorptive membrane seconding oan embodiment of the presen disclosure the fist adsorp- tive member is laminated on an upper surface of the support ‘member, and the adsorptive membrane may further com- prise a second adsorptive member which is stacked on a lower surface of the support member and has a plurality of third pores formed therein, and which is made by aecunm- Jating jon exeliange nanofibers for adsorbing foreign sub- [0018] In addition, inthe adsorptive membrane seconling fo an embodiment of the present disclosure, the ion ‘exchange nanofibers may be cation exchange nanofibers oF anion exchange nanofibers, and the adsompive membrane ‘may further include a third adsompive member which is stacked on the first adsorptive member and has a plurality of ‘hind pores formed therein, and which is made By acura.
