Problems solved by technology

After the electric cell runs smoothly, the sacrificial fibers will slowly dissolve and disappear, which will naturally reduce the resistance of the membrane, but the strength of the membrane will definitely decrease accordingly.
This is due to the continuous and dense distribution of sacrificial fibers in the membrane, which actually forms a continuous hole in the membrane after the channel is formed, thus reducing the mechanical strength of the membrane.

Abstract

The invention relates to a hole-containing fiber reinforced ion exchange membrane for the chlor-alkali industry and a preparation method thereof. The membrane is a multi-layer composite membrane composed of a perfluorinated sulfonic acid ion exchange resin layer, a perfluorinated carboxylic acid ion exchange resin layer, a reinforced mesh and a gas release coating, wherein the perfluorinated sulfonic acid resin layer contains reinforced fibers and nano holes. The membrane is prepared through a melt coextrusion or multi-layer hot pressing composite process. The membrane can be used as an ion exchange membrane for the chlor-alkali industry, and has good mechanical properties and electrochemical properties.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to a hole-containing fiber-reinforced ion-exchange membrane used in the chlor-alkali industry and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of fluoride ion membranes. Background technique: [0002] DuPont of the United States developed perfluorosulfonic acid resin and its ion exchange membrane in the 1960s. It was quickly found that this perfluorinated ion exchange membrane with a skeleton structure has extraordinary stability and is most suitable for use in the harsh environment of chlor-alkali electrolyzers, so it has been widely used in the chlor-alkali industry. Inspired by DuPont's perfluorinated ion-exchange membrane, Japan's Asahi Glass Company and Japan's Asahi Kasei Corporation have also successively developed perfluorinated ion-exchange resins and ion-exchange membranes with similar structures. In 1976, Asahi Kasei Corporation of Japan replaced DuPont's perfluorosulfonic acid membrane with a perflu...
