Description
SPECIFICATION
A method for joining fluorinated polymer cation exchange membranes
The present invention relates to a method for joining a fluorinated polymer cation exchange membrane with a fluorinated polymer cation exchange membrane. More specifically, it relates to a joining method fluorinated polymer cation exchange membranes, wherein fluorinated polymer cation exchange membranes containing pendent groups of sulfonic groups or sulfonic amide groups are first treated with a tertiary amine, or base, then a porous hydrophilic fluorinated polymer film is interposed between them, thereafter being heat-pressed.
Joining of cation exchange membranes is of exceeding use industrially. In the industrial utilization of the joining art of cation exchange membranes, there are included, for example, formation of the cation exchange membrane in any desired shape, production of a sufficient size of the cation exchange membrane required for an industrial use when such a large size is difficult to be produced. It is also useful in repairing a tear or a hole of cation exchange membranes which took place during utilization or handling. The present invention provides a joining method of cation exchange membranes which is exceedingly useful industrially. The joining method of the present invention is characterized by interposition of a porous hydrophilic fluorinated polymer film between the cation exchange membranes, then being heat-pressed.The cation exchange membrane used in the present invention contains pendent groups of sulfonic acid groups or sulfon amide groups on, at least, one side of the membrane.
It is known to the art to join cation exchange membranes having pending groups of sulfonic acid groups or sulfon amide groups. For example, the cation exchange membrane is melt-processed by a method described in the Japanese Patent Publication (non-examined) No. 49394/1975. The method, nevertheless, does not provide a sufficient joining strength.
In orderto improve a joining method giving increased joining strength, a series of studies have been made by the present inventors and the present invention has been completed. That is, it has now been discovered by the inventors that joining strength can be surprisingly increased by interposing a porous hydrophilicfluorinated polymer film between the cation exchange membranes whose pendent groups of sulfonic acid groups or sulfon amide groups are converted to ammonium salt type, then being heat-pressed.
That is, the portions to be joined of the membranes are preferably heated up to the range of from 100,0 to 300"C, more preferably 150"C to 300"C. The portions so heated up are then pressed under the pressure within the range of from 0.01 to 150
Kg/cm2G to achieve joining of the membranes. In addition to heat-pressing, ultrasonic wave heating, impulse heating and the like may be also employed.
The cation exchange membrane having pendent groups of sulfonic acid groups or sulfon amide groups on, at least, one side of the membrane may be preferably used in the present invention. Examples of the cation exchange membrane are membranes having sulfonic acid groups or sulfon amide groups on both sides of the membrane, membranes whose one side is treated with ethylene diamine, membrane, or the like. As a diaphragm for twochamber orthree-chamber ion exchange electrolysis method of an aqueous alkali metal chloride solution, perfluorocarbon cation exchange membranes are useful, which normally contain pendent groups of sulfonic acid groups, sulfon amide groups, carboxylic acid groups or the like as cation exchange groups.
As perfluorocarbon cation exchange membranes, there are included, for example, "Nafion" #215, #290, #295, #315, #415, #417, #427 and the like, which are sold by E.l. Du Pont de Nemours & BR<
Company.
Porous fluorinated polymer film includes membranes having pendent groups of sulfonic acid groups or sulfon amide groups. The membranes contain pendent groups of sulfonic acid groups or sulfon amide groups on, at least, one side of the membrane, and the pendent groups are converted to ammonium salt type by treatment with a tertiary amine, a quaternary ammonium base, or a salt of the foregoing amine or base, prior to heat-pressing.
Examples of porous fluorinated polymer membranes are "Nafion" #701, #710, and the like, sold by E.l. Du Pont de Nemours & Company.
Porous fluorinated polymer films further include a film of a polymer or a copolymer obtained by polymerization of 4-fluoroethylene, 6fluoropropylene, perfluoroalkylvinylether; and poly3-fluorochloroethylene, polyfluorovinylidene and the like.
The hydrophilic characteristic is afforded to the porous fluorinated polymer film by corona discharge or the treatment with activated sodium such as metallic sodium, sodium dispersion, stabilized metallic sodium and the like. The fluorinated polym er film subjected to hydrophilic treatment with a surface active agent such as fluoride surface active agents may be also employed. The fluorinated polymer film hydrophile-treated with a titanium compound such as potassium titanate, titanium oxide and the like may be effectively used.
It is not made clear why the joining strength can be markedly improved by the interposition of a porous hydrophilic fluorinated polymer film, then being heat-pressed, but, is surmised as below; That is, heat-melted cation exchange membranes, upon heat-pressing, penetrate into perforations then solidify in the perforations. By such, as it were, an "anchor shape" joining effect, a superior joining strength is achieved as compared with a conventional method.
The present invention will be explained in more detail by way of examples that follow, which examples are not construed to limit the scope of the present invention.
Example 1
"Nafion #315" having pendent groups of sulfonic acid groups, produced and sold by E.l. Du Pont de
Nemours & Co., was converted to NA+ type, then treated with a 50% methanol aqueous solution containing tetra(n-butyl) ammonium chloride. On the other hand, "Nafion #701" having pendent groups of sulfonic acid groups was converted to H+ type, and then treated with a 50% methanol aqueous solution containing tetra(n-butyl) ammonium hydroxide. Between two pieces of"Nafion #315" so treated, was "Nafion #701" sandwiched, then heat-pressed at 240"C under the pressure of 15 kg/cm2G. Joining strength of the joined membranes was 8.0 kg/cm2G. The so obtained joined membranes was immersed in depleted brine removed from a mercury electrolytic cell. Peeling off of the joined portion was not observed even after 11 months.
Example 2
With the exception that "Nafion #710" was employed in the place of "Nafion #701", experiment was carried out in the similar manner to that in
Example 1. Joining strength of the membranes joined was 8.5 kg/cm2G. Immersion test was conducted for 11 months according to Example 1. No tear of the joined portion was observed.
Example 3
The experiment was effected in the similar fashion to that of Example 1, excepting that "Nafion #215" in the place of "Nafion #315" was used. Immersion test was performed similarly to Example 1. Even after 6 months, no peeling off could be seen.
Example 4
Similar experiment to that of Example 1 was effected, with the exception that a cation exchange membrane containing pendent groups of carboxylic acids obtained by modifying one side of the membrane "Nafion #415" was employed. Immersion test was continued for 3 months but no tear of the joined portion took place.
Example 5
The experiment was performed in the similar fashion to that of Example 1, excepting that both sides of a porous poly-4-fluoroethylene film were treated by corona discharge, then interposed between the cation exchange membranes treated.
Immersion test was effected for 3 months but no peeling off occured.
Example 6
The experiment was conducted similarly to Example 1, excepting that a porous polytetrafluoroethylene film whose both sides were treated with a stabilized metallic sodium (tradename, "TET
RECCHI"'), produced by JUNKOSHA K.K., was interposed between treated cation exchange membranes. The obtained joined membrane was immersed for 3 months. No tear of the joined portion took place.
Comparative Example 1
A Na+ type cation exchange membrane "Nafion #315" was treated with a 50% methanol aqueous solution containing tetra(n-butyl) ammonium chloride. Two pieces of the so treated membranes were heat-pressed at 240 C under the pressure of 15 kg/cm2G. Joining strength of the joined membranes was 4.2 kg/cm2G. Immersion test was conducted similarly to Example 1. After 3 months peeling off of the joined portion was observed.
Comparative Example 2
A H+ type cation exchange membrane, "Nafion #315" was treated with a 50% methanol aqueous solution containing a tetra(n-butyl) ammonium hydroxide. Two pieces of the membranes so treated were heat-pressed at 240do under the pressure of 15 kg/cm2G. The obtained joined membranes showed the joining strength of 4.5 kg/cm2G.
Comparative Example 3
"Nafion #315", a Na+ type cation exchange membrane was treated with a 50% methanol aqueous solution containing tetra(nbutyl)ammonium/chloride. On the other hand, "Nafion #415", a H+ type cation exchange membrane was treated with a 50% methanol aqueous solution containing tetra(n-butyl) ammonium hydroxide. The non-porous "Nafion #415" so treated was sandwiched between two pieces of "Nafion #315" treated, then subjected to heat-pressing in the similar fashion as in Example 1. Joining strength was 4.7 kg/cm2G.
