The cation-exchanger film is formed from a perfluorocarbon polymer having repeating units of the formula wherein m is 0 or 1; n is 1-5; x/y is 2-16; and X is SO3M or COOM wherein M is H, an alkali or alkaline earth metal, or ammonium. The anion-exchange film comprises a tryrene-divinybenzene copolymer supported by a nonwoven polypropylene fabric and having quaternary ammonium groups.

A bipolar membrane is useful because it has this ability, and by using an anion exchange membrane and / or a cation exchange membrane in appropriate combination, a neutral salt such as Glauber's salt is used as a raw material to produce sulfuric acid and an acid such as caustic soda. It is known that alkali can be produced. Considering the production costs of acids and alkalis, it is necessary to have a bipolar membrane that has a small voltage drop across the membrane and at the same time has high water dissociation efficiency, and these performances must be exhibited for a long period of time.

In the bipolar film of the present invention, the voltage drop is maintained for a long period of time as described above, and its mechanism is presumed as follows. That is, since the inorganic ion exchanger has a solid structure, the ion exchange group of each ion exchange membrane in contact with the inorganic ion exchange layer in the bipolar membrane cannot penetrate into the inorganic ion exchange layer, and However, it is difficult to form an ionic bond to form a neutral layer. Further, the inorganic ion exchanger has a larger ion exchange capacity per volume than the organic ion exchange resin,
Moreover, since the structure capable of retaining a large amount of water, the electric resistance of the inorganic ion exchanger layer is small, and it is considered that the voltage drop of the bipolar membrane can be kept small.
