あった。By the way, recently, the industrialization is becoming more sophisticated and finer, and along with this, the permissible amount of impurities in the sodium hydroxide solution is decreasing, and a sodium hydroxide solution having an impurity concentration of about 50 ppb or less is being demanded. . Here, conventionally, a method of removing impurities by refining salt as a raw material before performing electrolysis has been adopted, but in the above-described method for producing a sodium hydroxide solution, impurities contained in the salt remain unchanged. Since it exists in the sodium hydroxide solution, it is necessary to change the degree of purification of the salt according to the impurity concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution. Therefore, in order to obtain a sodium hydroxide solution having an extremely low impurity concentration, it is necessary to considerably improve the degree of purification of sodium chloride, and it takes time and labor to purify the sodium chloride, which is troublesome, and the cost increases accordingly. there were. In addition, some impurities were eluted from the electrolytic cell or piping and existed in the sodium hydroxide solution.

る。For example, when a sodium hydroxide solution is purified as an alkaline solution, a sodium hydroxide solution having a high impurity concentration is supplied to the anode chamber and water is supplied to the cathode chamber to perform electrolysis. Here, in the anode chamber, sodium ions (Na + ) which are metal cations and hydroxide ions (O 2
H − ) and a metal as an impurity exist, but the metal as an impurity exists as an anion or precipitates as a hydroxide in an alkaline atmosphere. Therefore, the cations in the anode chamber are only sodium ions, and only these sodium ions pass through the cation exchange membrane to the cathode chamber. In the cathode chamber, sodium hydroxide, which is a hydroxide of sodium, is generated by electrolysis, and this sodium hydroxide is dissolved in water to form a sodium hydroxide solution, but it is obtained because impurities do not enter the cathode chamber.
