The solution film-forming method is provided in which the absolute
filtration accuracy for a cellulose acylat solution can be improved and
filtration throughput can be increased without reducing the pore size of
a filtering material. A dope stock solution to be filtrated is first
introduced into a body feed tank and a filter aid from a filter aid tank
is added and dispersed. As the filter aid, an aid including SiO2 in 50%
or more and a cellulose-based aid are mixed for use. The dope stock
solution in which the filter aid is dispersed is introduced into a filter
machine and subjected to filtration while forming a cake on the surface
of the filtering material. After the filtration, a cleaning solvent is
supplied in circulation from a cleaning solvent tank, and the cake is
discharged as slurry. The filter aid is separated from the slurry by a
separating device and burned in a burning device. Then, a regenerated
filter aid is sent to the filter aid tank. After the cleaning, a precoat
liquid in which the filter aid is dispersed is supplied from a precoat
tank to the filter machine to form a precoat layer on the surface of the
filtering material.
