MEMBRANES FOR ELECTROCHEMICAL TECHNOLOGY

Sample Course Synopsis

Lancaster, New York

Ion permeable membranes now have an important role in modern electrochemical technology. The Course will cover the fundamental chemistry of these membranes as well as their applications; the objective will be to provide participants with an understanding essential to the successful use of membranes in electrochemical technology. Topics to be covered include:

Synthesis of membrane polymers
Membrane fabrication
Structure of membrane polymers
Physical chemistry of membrane polymers
Methods of study
The role of water
The link between membrane structure, properties and performance
Transport properties: selectivity, conductivity etc.

Membrane cells for chlor-alkali manufacture
Electrolytic and salt splitting processes
Electrodialysis
Fuel cells and batteries
Bipolar membranes
Strategies for prolonging membrane life
Commercially available membranes
Recent trends and future developments

Instructors (Sample)

The Course will be presented by Professor Derek Pletcher (University of Southampton, England) and Dr. J. David Genders (Electrosynthesis Company, Inc.) and a number of membrane manufacturers and suppliers. Participants will be invited to visit the R & D facility at Electrosynthesis Company to view the diverse range of membrane applications under investigation. Participants will also be offered the opportunity to visit a local membrane chlor-alkali plant on the morning following the course.
