Development of polymeric ion exchange membranes by radiation-induced graft polymerization for application in electrodialysis

Chen, J.; Asano, Masaharu; Maekawa, Yasunari

Electrodialysis is an electrochemical process mainly used for the isolation and concentration of ionic species from aqueous solution. In this study, we develop radiation grafting polymeric ion exchange membranes for application in electrodialysis to remove metal ions in water. Two monomers of styrene derivatives, ethyl styrenesulfonate (ETSS) and chloromethyl styrene (CMS), were grafted onto poly(ethylene-co-tetrafluoroethylene) (ETFE) films by the radiation induced graft polymerization. The ETSS- and CMS-grafted films were easily converted into cation and anion exchange membranes, respectively. The resultant membranes showed similar range of ion exchange capacity (IEC), but the conductivity of the cation exchange membranes was higher than that of the anion exchange membranes with the same IEC level. Furthermore, the membranes with high IEC got the high electrodialysis speed, while those with low IEC had the high removal percent.
