Description

本発明は、製塩に用いられる陽イオン交換膜及びその製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a cation exchange membrane used for salt production and a method for producing the same.

イオン交換膜製塩法における海水濃縮工程には、陽及び陰イオン交換膜を利用した電気透析槽が用いられている。電気透析槽に利用するイオン交換膜の性能上求められているのは、膜の電気抵抗、濃縮性能、耐久性等であり、製造費低減のためには、膜の電気抵抗を増加させることなく、濃縮性能を向上させることが必要である。加えて耐久性、特に機械的強度を向上させることも必要となる。   An electrodialysis tank using positive and anion exchange membranes is used in the seawater concentration step in the ion exchange membrane salt production method. What is required in terms of the performance of ion exchange membranes used in electrodialysis tanks is membrane electrical resistance, concentration performance, durability, etc. To reduce manufacturing costs, without increasing membrane electrical resistance. It is necessary to improve the concentration performance. In addition, it is necessary to improve durability, particularly mechanical strength.

製塩用イオン交換膜の製法については従来から数多くの方法が提案されている(例えば特許文献1〜3参照)が、イオン交換基が導入可能な官能基又はイオン交換基を有するモノマー、架橋剤及び重合触媒を主たる成分として含有する混合物をポリ塩化ビニル製の織布などに塗布して重合した後、必要に応じてイオン交換基を導入する方法が広く知られている。   A number of methods have been proposed for producing an ion exchange membrane for salt production (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 3). However, a monomer having a functional group or an ion exchange group into which an ion exchange group can be introduced, a crosslinking agent, and There is widely known a method in which a mixture containing a polymerization catalyst as a main component is applied to a woven fabric made of polyvinyl chloride and polymerized, and then ion exchange groups are introduced as necessary.

しかしながら、この方法により得られたイオン交換膜は、膜の電気抵抗を増加させることなく、濃縮性能を向上させることは困難であり、かつ機械的強度についても満足できる性質のものではなかった。
かかる問題点を解決するため、ポリプロピレン繊維基材等に重合性モノマーを含浸担持させた後、電離放射線でグラフト重合しイオン交換膜を得る方法や、ポリオレフィン製基材等に重合性モノマーを含浸担持させた後、電離性放射線で一部重合を行い、続いて重合開始剤の存在下で加熱することにより、重合を完結させてイオン交換膜を得る方法が提案されている(例えば特許文献4〜6参照)。
However, the ion exchange membrane obtained by this method is difficult to improve the concentration performance without increasing the electrical resistance of the membrane, and the mechanical strength is not satisfactory.
In order to solve such problems, a method of obtaining an ion exchange membrane by impregnating and supporting a polymerizable monomer on a polypropylene fiber substrate or the like, and then graft polymerization with ionizing radiation, or impregnating and supporting a polymerizable monomer on a polyolefin substrate or the like Then, a method of partially polymerizing with ionizing radiation and subsequently heating in the presence of a polymerization initiator to complete the polymerization and obtain an ion exchange membrane has been proposed (for example, Patent Documents 4 to 4). 6).

しかし、いずれの方法も、膜の機械的強度を向上させることは可能であるが、膜の濃縮性能については満足のいく成果は見られなかった。

These can be used by appropriately selecting at least one or more of them.

高分子基材への上記モノマーのグラフト重合は、基材を電離放射線照射後、モノマーと重合反応させる、いわゆる前照射法か、または基材とモノマーとに同時に照射し、重合反応させる、いわゆる同時照射法のいずれによっても行うことができる。高分子基材にグラフト重合しないホモポリマーの生成量が少ないことから、前照射法を使用することが好ましい。前照射法については2方法あり、高分子基材を不活性ガス中で照射するポリマーラジカル法と、基材を酸素の存在する雰囲気下で照射するパーオキサイト法があり、いずれも本発明において使用することができる。   The graft polymerization of the above-mentioned monomer onto the polymer substrate is a so-called pre-irradiation method in which the substrate is irradiated with ionizing radiation and then subjected to a polymerization reaction, or the substrate and the monomer are simultaneously irradiated to cause a polymerization reaction. It can be performed by any of the irradiation methods. The pre-irradiation method is preferably used because the amount of homopolymer that does not undergo graft polymerization on the polymer substrate is small. There are two pre-irradiation methods, a polymer radical method for irradiating a polymer substrate in an inert gas, and a peroxide method for irradiating the substrate in an oxygen-containing atmosphere, both of which are used in the present invention. Can be used.

前照射法の一例を以下に説明する。
まず、高分子基材を酸素不透過性ポリ袋中に挿入後、この袋内を窒素置換し、袋内酸素を除去する。次いでこの基材を含む袋に電離放射線の一つである電子線を、−10〜80℃、好ましくは室温付近で、10〜400kGy照射する。次いで、照射済み基材を大気中で取り出し、ガラス容器に移し替えた後、容器内にモノマー液またはモノマー溶液(溶媒希釈液)を充填する。モノマー液またはモノマー溶液は、酸素の存在しない不活性ガスによるバブリングや凍結脱気などで予め酸素ガスを除いたものを使用する。照射済み基材にポリマーのグラフト鎖を導入するためのグラフト重合は、通常、室温〜80℃、好ましくは、25〜70℃で実施する。
An example of the pre-irradiation method will be described below.
First, after inserting the polymer base material into an oxygen-impermeable plastic bag, the inside of the bag is purged with nitrogen to remove oxygen in the bag. Next, the bag containing the substrate is irradiated with an electron beam, which is one of ionizing radiations, at −10 to 80 ° C., preferably near room temperature, for 10 to 400 kGy. Next, after the irradiated substrate is taken out in the atmosphere and transferred to a glass container, the container is filled with a monomer solution or a monomer solution (a solvent dilution solution). As the monomer solution or monomer solution, one obtained by removing oxygen gas in advance by bubbling or freeze degassing with an inert gas containing no oxygen is used. Graft polymerization for introducing a polymer graft chain to an irradiated substrate is usually carried out at room temperature to 80 ° C, preferably 25 to 70 ° C.

これにより得られたポリマーのグラフト率(すなわち、重合前の高分子基材に対するグラフト鎖の重量パーセント)は、5〜300質量%、より好ましくは30〜200質量%である。グラフト率は、照射線量、重合温度、重合時間等に依存して適宜変化させることができる。   The graft ratio of the polymer thus obtained (that is, the weight percent of the graft chain with respect to the polymer substrate before polymerization) is 5 to 300% by mass, more preferably 30 to 200% by mass. The graft ratio can be appropriately changed depending on the irradiation dose, polymerization temperature, polymerization time and the like.

グラフト鎖を導入した高分子基材には、次の段階としてスルホン酸基等の陽イオン交換基を導入する。スルホン酸基の導入は従来行われている広範な方法が何の制限もなく使用できるが、具体例を以下に示す。   As a next step, a cation exchange group such as a sulfonic acid group is introduced into the polymer base material into which the graft chain has been introduced. A wide range of conventional methods can be used for introducing sulfonic acid groups without any limitation. Specific examples are shown below.

1,2−ジクロロエタンを溶媒とする濃度1質量%〜濃度50質量%のクロロスルホン酸溶液に、グラフト反応後の高分子基材を25〜80℃で1〜72時間浸漬して反応させる。所定時間反応後、膜を十分に水洗する。その後、濃度1〜10質量%の水酸化ナトリウム水溶液に1〜24時間浸漬することで、加水分解した後、膜を十分に水洗する。スルホン化反応に必要なスルホン化剤としては、濃硫酸、三酸化硫黄、チオ硫酸ナトリウムなども使用することができ、これらのスルホン酸基を導入できるものであれば特に限定されない。   The polymer base material after the graft reaction is immersed in a chlorosulfonic acid solution having a concentration of 1% by mass to 50% by mass using 1,2-dichloroethane as a solvent and reacted at 25 to 80 ° C. for 1 to 72 hours. After reacting for a predetermined time, the membrane is thoroughly washed with water. Then, after hydrolyzing by immersing in a sodium hydroxide aqueous solution having a concentration of 1 to 10% by mass for 1 to 24 hours, the membrane is sufficiently washed with water. As the sulfonating agent necessary for the sulfonation reaction, concentrated sulfuric acid, sulfur trioxide, sodium thiosulfate and the like can be used, and there is no particular limitation as long as these sulfonic acid groups can be introduced.

以下、本発明の陽イオン交換膜およびその製造方法を実施例にもとづいてさらに詳細に説明する。なお、本発明はかかる実施例に限定されるものではない。   Hereinafter, the cation exchange membrane of the present invention and the production method thereof will be described in more detail based on examples. In addition, this invention is not limited to this Example.
