Notes:
This article deals with some aspects of γ-radiation stability of (phenolsulfonic acid, PSA) cation exchange membranes synthesized in the laboratory. The changes in cation exchange capacity, moisture content, coion sorption, concentration potential, area resistance, counterion transference number, and solute flux of the membranes were evaluated before and after irradiation. The membrane samples were irradiated under wet conditions using a 60Co source up to a total dose of 18.65 Mrads. The experimental data point out the possibility of degradation of PSA membranes beyond a dose of 9.78 Mrads, resulting in the loss of functional groups from membrane matrix.
