MEMBRANA IMPERMEAVEL A FLUXO HIDRAULICO DE LIQUIDO MEMBRANA PARA TROCA IONICA CELULA ELETROQUIMICA PROCESSO PARA ELETROLISE DE SALMOURA EM UMA CELULA CLOROALCALINA

摘要

An ion exchange membrane comprises a layer of fluorinated polymer which has carboxylic functional groups, a layer of fluorinated polymer which has sulfonic and/or carboxylic functional groups at a surface layer and a web of support material therein, and has channels in the membrane which extend from window areas of the membrane to blind areas of the membrane occluded by reinforcing members of the support material. The ion exchange membrane is derived from a precursor membrane which contains both reinforcing members and sacrificial members. The ion exchange membrane can be used to separate the compartments of a chloralkali cell, and such a cell operates at low voltage, high current efficiency, and low power consumption.
