Membranes for use in chlor-alkali cells, made of a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and sulfonylfluoride perfluorovinyl ether, have their selectivity improved, with resulting substantial decrease in consumption of electric power per mole of sodium hydroxide produced, by being heat-treated at 100 to 275 DEG Centigrade for several hours to four minutes. The current efficiency is substantially increased, and the power consumption, per unit of sodium hydroxide produced, is usually decreased by about 10 percent or more. |
