Abstract
Polarization characteristics of the homogeneous MF-4SK perfluorinated sulfonated cation-exchange membrane and the heterogeneous MK-40 sulfonic acid membrane with its surface modified by a homogeneous film of Nafion are studied at a rotating membrane disk in 0.1 and 0.001 M sodium chloride solutions. Partial current-voltage curves (CVC) are obtained for sodium and hydrogen ions, and limiting current densities in the electromembrane systems (EMS) under study are calculated as a function of the rotation rate of the membrane disk. Contribution from different mechanisms (electrodiffusion, electroconvection, dissociation of water, and the effect of the limiting-current exaltation) to the total ion flow is estimated experimentally and theoretically under conditions that the diffusion layer in the EMS has stabilized in thickness. It is established that surface modification of the heterogeneous MK-40 membrane with a 7 µm layer of a modifying agent almost completely eliminates the dissociation of water molecules, and the properties of the heterogeneous MK-40 membrane approximate those of the homogeneous Nafion membrane. From IR spectra and potentiometric titration curves of the MK-40 and MF-4SK membranes, it is shown that the acidity of the sulfonate groups in these membranes is nearly identical, but a difference in the dissociation rate of water at these membranes is determined by a different character of charge-density distribution and potential near the membrane-solution interphase boundary. By means of the theory of the overlimiting state in EMS, the internal parameters of the systems under investigation are calculated: distribution of space-charge density and electric-field potential in the diffusion layer and in the membrane. Partial CVC are calculated for H+ ions for the space-charge region in the phase of the MF-4SK and MK-40/Nafion ion-exchange membranes. Partial CVC with similar characteristics are compared for the heterogeneous monopolar MK-40 and the bipolar MB-2 membranes, which contain sulfonate groups. It is concluded that the membrane surface layer, where the space charge is localized, plays a dominant role in speeding up the dissociation of water in EMS.
