Abstract

Composite membranes bearing ion-exchange groups suitable for use in membrane separation processes are produced by providing a porous substrate which is physically semipermeable by itself, applying a coating composition consisting essentially of a filmforming polymeric material to which ion-exchange groups are introduceable and a liquid medium onto the surface of said substrate, removing said liquid medium to provide an ultrathin membrane of said material having a thickness less than 10 microns, and treating said ultrathin membrane to provide said ion-exchange groups throughout said ultrathin membrane.
