Novel heterogeneous cation exchange membranes, based on poly (ether sulfone) and cation exchange resin, were prepared with the addition of protonated and sulfonated Montmorillonite (MMT) nanopartides. Detailed investigations were then carried out studying the morphology, physical properties and the performance of membranes. It is observed that addition of MMT, leads to a substantially better distribution of ion exchange resin in the polymer matrix. This leads, at low loadings of MMT (0.5 wt.%), to membranes that are more hydrated, more hydrophilic and with higher ion exchange capacities. Especially at these low MMT loadings, substantially better membrane performance is observed, with higher permselectivities, lower areal resistances and increased ion transport during electrodialysis. A very surprising effect is that the addition of MMT has a strong effect on the selectivity of the membranes, especially towards Mg2+. A high affinity of the nanoclay towards Mg2+, selectively slows down Mg2+ transport through the nanoclay containing membrane. At low MMT loadings this leads to a much higher areal resistance for Mg2+, while for Na+ and Cat(2+) the areal resistance is decreased. This leads to resistance based selectivities of 5.5 for Na+/Mg2+ and 4.5 for Ca2+/Mg2+. Under more challenging electrodialysis operation selectivities become lower, but persist at 2.6 for Na+/Mg2+ and 2.04 for Ca2+/Mg2+, outperforming commercial Ralex membranes. Overall, the protonated clay leads to slightly better membrane performances and selectivities than the sulfonated clay, likely due to a better compatibility with PES. (C) 2018 Elsevier Inc.
