Abstract
It was found that when sulfo-containing cation exchangers based on PVDF and its copolymers are heated in air, the reaction of dehydrofluorination of the sulfonated unit in VDF takes place in the 50–100°C temperature region and the reaction of formation of sulfones with the participation of sulfo groups and macromolecules of the polymer takes place in the 220–250°C region. Treating sulfo-containing PVDF cation exchangers with an excess of ammonia with subsequent heat treatment at 110°C and reduction with hydrochloric acid increases the thermal stability of the sulfo-containing cation exchangers, and the temperature of initial weight loss is 200°C. The apparent activation energies of dehydrofluorination, formation of sulfones, and degradation of the macromolecular chain were determined and were in satisfactory agreement with the published data.
