Abstract

New anion exchange membranes on the basis of alipathic polyethers demonstrate the ability to tailor membranes with high conductivity for organic anions or membranes with high permselectivity in mineral acids. This paper provides data on the chemical composition and on electrochemical properties relevant to potential end users. The possibility of tailoring the membranes is shown by the example of membranes developed for the transport of large organic anions. It is stated that the permeability of such anions is limited by a sieving effect of the membrane matrix and a concept is presented to minimize this effect. The properties of the membrane type PC 400D developed by this method are demonstrated by the example of lactobionic acid.
