Review: Ion exchange membranes are dense non-porous membranes that are impermeable to ions, solvents and gases in the presence of ordinary hydraulic pressure. They are used in various industrial applications: in electrodialysis; in diffusion dialysis; as separator and solid polymer electrolyte in electrolysis; as separator and solid polymer electrolyte of various batteries; as sensing materials; in medical applications; as part of analytical chemistry etc. This work contains the practical experiences and knowledge of Toshikatsu Sata. It contains a brief history of ion exchange and explains the preparation, characterisation, modification and applications of separation membranes. The use of ion exchange in analytical and medical techniques is also discussed.
