Abstract

Current efficiency in an electrolytic membrane cell for the production of concentrated potassium hydroxide is considerably increased by employing in the electrolytic membrane cell a membrane selected from a group consisting of an amine modified perfluorosulfonic acid membrane such as a primary amine, diamine, or polyamine modified perfluorosulfonic acid membrane, and a laminated perfluorosulfonic acid acid membrane, and a laminated perfluorosulfonic acid membrane comprised of at least two unmodified perfluorosulfonic acid membranes of different thickness and different equivalent weight.
