Process of producing a composite membrane

摘要

In a sulphonated aromatic polymer contains repeating units (Ar-Y) (where Y is SO2 and/or CO), at least half of groups Ar contain a group SO3 M and M is 1/m of a polyvalent metal cation in at least 80% of such groups SO3 M. The polyvalent cation compound is formed by heating the corresponding sulphonic acid or monovalent cation compound with a salt of a polyvalent metal. The polymer is useful as a membrane and the polyvalent metal salt addition and/or the heat treatment may be applied to polymer in membrane form.
