The effect of reinforcing fabric on ion exchange membrane properties under cyclic pH changes

Original language description

The article deals with comparison of the influence of ion exchange membranes (IMs) composition on their dimensional changes and electrochemical properties. Mainly the influence of chemical stability of polyester (PES) or poly(phenylene sulfide) (PPS) reinforcing fabric was investigated. These fabrics were made from fibers of the same thickness and had the same construction of warp and weft. IMs were exposed to cyclic pH changes which were realized by alternately soaking in HCl and NaOH solutions of concentration 1 mol L−1 for 24 hours. Overall, IMs spent 9 days in each solution. Dimensions, weight, ion exchange capacity and area resistance of IMs were continuously evaluated. Reinforcing with PPS fabric led to length and height stabilization of IMs as compared with reinforcing by PES fabric. Moreover membranes reinforced with PPS fabric showed the highest ion exchange capacity and stable area resistance (7.4 ± 0.5 Ω cm2 or 6.3 ± 0.1 Ω cm2 for anion or cation exchange membrane, respectively) during the testing period. Contrary, IMs reinforced with PES fabric showed gradual decrease of area resistance corresponding to increased swelling. The sharpest decrease in area resistance was observed for IM(H)-PES Ralex, from 11.6 Ω cm2 to 3.5 Ω cm2 for anion exchange membrane and from 6.1 Ω cm2 to 3.5 Ω cm2 for cation exchange membrane. It was proved that by minimizing the dimensional changes of IMs longer stability of area resistance and ion exchange capacity was obtained.
