Abstract

The electrotransport properties and the structure of polyaniline-modified sulfocationic membranes MK-40 and MF-4SK are studied in solutions of sulfuric acid and sulfates of nickel and chromium. The modification by polyaniline is performed in elelectrodialyzer. The decrease in conductivity and diffusion permeability of membranes after their modification with polyaniline is assessed in electrolyte solutions of different nature. The key effect of the counter-ion charge on the conductivity of original and modified membranes is confirmed. The unusual effect of the decrease in the MF-4SK/PANI membrane conductivity with an increase in the concentration of solutions containing multiply-charged cations is observed. The information acquired by porosimetry on the effect of multiply-charged ions on the structure of homogeneous and heterogeneous membranes is supplemented by calculations of the transport and structure parameters using the microheterogeneous model of ion-exchange membrane. Based on the analysis of parameters of current–voltage curves in solutions of nickel sulfate and sulfuric acid, the prospects of using the modified membranes in the electrodialysis of solutions containing sulfuric acid and multiply-charged ions are assessed.
