Abstract
Heterogeneous cation exchange membrane(HCEM) was prepared with LLDPE(Linear Low Density Poly-ethylene) as binder, powdered cation exchange resins($diameter{\leq}149{\mu}m$) as ion-exchange material and glycerol as additive for electrodialysis and electrodeionization system. The weight ratio of (binder/ion exchange)/glycerol was (60%/40%)/5%, (55%/45%)/5%, (50%/50%)/5% and (40%/60%)/5%. The characterization of prepared HCEM was evaluated on mechanical, electrochemical, morphology and ion permeable properties. It was compared with commercial membrane. Electrochemical properties of HCEM of (50%/50% )/5% were very similar to value of IONPURE(commercial membrane), in which ion exchange capacity, ion transfer number and membrane resistance were to be 1.733meq/g, 0.96 and $16.08{\Omega}/cm^2$, respectively. Ion permeability of the membrane was better than that of IONPURE membrane. Compared with IONPURE membrane, the HCEM had a higher tensile strength and lower elongation and modulus, in which HCEM had tensile strength of $62.33kg/cm^2$, elongation of 87.42% and modulus of $658.53kg/cm^2$. The HCEM of (50%/50% )15% was optimum combination.
결합제인 LLDPE와 전기화학적 특성을 부여하는 강산성 양이온교환수지를 혼합한 후 글리세롤을 첨가하여 전기탈이온 시스템과 전기투석용 불균질 양이온교환막을 제조하였다. 결함제와 이온교환수지의 무게비율[(60%/40%)/5%, (55%/45%)/5%, (50%/50%)/5%, (40%/60%)/5%]에 따라서 막을 제조하여 각각의 기계적, 전기화학적, 형태학적, 이온투과특성을 고찰하고 상용막과 비교하였다. (50%/50%)/5%의 비율로 제조된 막의 전기화학적 특성은 이온교환 용랑 1.733meq/g, 운반율 0.96, 막저항 $16.08{\Omega}/cm^2$의 값을 나타내어 IONPURE사의 불균질 양이온교환막과 비교해 볼 때 유사한 특성값을 보였고, 이온투과특성에서는 높은 효율을 보였다. 반면에 기계적 특성은 인장강도 $62.33kg/cm^2$, 신장율 87.42%, 탄성율 $658.53kg/cm^2$으로 상용막 보다 인장강도는 우수하였지만 신장율과 탄성율은 약간 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 모든 특성치에서 (50%/50%)/5%로 제조된 막이 최적의 값을 나타내었다.
