Abstract

An anion exchange membrane was prepared for a separator in the alkaline water electrolysis. An anion exchange membrane was prepared by the chloromethylation and amination of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) used as a base polymer. The membrane properties of the prepared anion exchange membrane such as the membrane resistance and ion exchange capacity were measured. The minimum membrane resistance of the prepared anion exchange membrane was $2.9{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$ in 1M NaOH aq. solution. This membrane had 2.17 meq./g-dry-membrane and 43.4% for the ion exchange capacity and water content, respectively. The membrane properties of the prepared anion exchange membrane was compared with that of the commercial anion exchange membrane. The membrane resistance decreased in the order; AHT>IOMAC> Homemade membrane> AHA>APS=AFN. The ion exchange capacity decreased in the order; Homemade membrane>AFN>APS>AHT>AHA>IOMAC.

알칼리 수전해용 격막으로 사용하기 위해 음이온교환막을 제작하였다. 음이온교환막은 PVC (polyvinyl chloride)를 출발물질로 하여 클로로메틸화 및 아민화에 의해 제작하였다. 제작한 막은 막 특성(막 저항, 이온교환용량)을 평가하였다. 제작한 음이온교환막의 1M NaOH수용액에서의 최저 막 저항은 $2.9{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$를 나타냈다. 이 막은 2.17 meq./g-dry-membrane의 이온교환용량과 43.4%의 함수율을 보였다. 제작한 음이온교환막의 막 특성을 시판의 막 특성과 비교 평가하였다. 1M NaOH수용액에서의 막 저항은 AHT>IOMAC>Homemade membrane>AHA>APS=AFN의 순으로 저항 값이 높았다. 이온교환 용량은 Homemade membrane>AFN>APS>AHT>AHA>IOMAC의 순으로 높은 값을 가졌다.
