ELECTROCHEMICAL INDUSTRYAdvanced Alkaline Separator for Chlor-Alkali & Related Processes
The chlor-alkali industry demands membranes that withstand concentrated alkaline environments. IONZERA's PSU-TiO2-GO nanocomposite is built for extreme KOH stability.
Membrane Cross-Section
PSU-TiO₂-GOProven KOH Chemical Stability
IONZERA's polysulfone matrix with TiO2 and graphene oxide is specifically engineered for concentrated KOH environments, providing long-term chemical resistance in harsh alkaline conditions.
Ultra-Low Ionic Resistance
Area resistance of 0.09-0.1 ohm-cm2 in 30 wt% KOH reduces energy consumption in any alkaline electrochemical process, directly lowering operating costs.
Anti-Fouling Properties
Graphene oxide nanosheets and TiO2 photocatalytic activity provide inherent anti-fouling characteristics, extending membrane life in industrial electrochemical environments.
Mechanical Durability
Tensile strength of 2.7 MPa with adequate elongation at break ensures the membrane withstands the mechanical stresses of industrial-scale electrochemical cells.
Alkaline Membranes in Electrochemical Processing
The chlor-alkali process electrolyzes brine to produce chlorine, sodium hydroxide, and hydrogen. While modern chlor-alkali plants predominantly use ion-exchange membranes, the underlying need for chemically stable, low-resistance separator materials is shared across many alkaline electrochemical processes.
IONZERA's core technology, a PSU-TiO2-GO nanocomposite engineered for concentrated KOH environments, has direct relevance to chlor-alkali adjacent applications, industrial caustic electrolysis, and any electrochemical process involving strongly alkaline media.
