Abstract

A diaphragm manufacturing method includes: when a pulp slurry obtained after beating of a pulp exhibits anionic predominance, adding a fluoropolymer that is cationic into the pulp slurry to cause the fluoropolymer to be contained in the pulp; and screening and shaping the pulp slurry into a diaphragm.

Claims (34)

1 . A diaphragm manufacturing method comprising:

when a pulp slurry obtained after beating of a pulp exhibits anionic predominance, adding a fluoropolymer that is cationic into the pulp slurry to cause the fluoropolymer to be contained in the pulp; and

screening and shaping the pulp slurry into a diaphragm.

2 . A diaphragm manufacturing method comprising:

when a pulp slurry obtained after beating of a pulp exhibits cationic predominance, adding a fluoropolymer that is anionic into the pulp slurry to cause the fluoropolymer to be contained in the pulp; and

screening and shaping the pulp slurry into the diaphragm.

3 . The diaphragm manufacturing method according to claim 2 , wherein

adding a cationic fixing agent to the pulp slurry obtained after beating of the pulp, before the adding of the fluoropolymer that is anionic.

4 . The diaphragm manufacturing method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

adding a paper strengthening agent to the pulp slurry, before the adding of the fluoropolymer that is cationic.

5 . The diaphragm manufacturing method according to claim 2 , further comprising:

adding a paper strengthening agent to the pulp slurry, after the adding of the fluoropolymer that is anionic.

6 . The diaphragm manufacturing method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

adding, to the pulp slurry, at least one of: long fiber pulp; recycled cotton fiber and recycled synthetic fiber that are hard resin coated; glass fiber; acrylic fiber; polyolefin fiber; polyester fiber; aramid fiber; or liquid-crystal polymer fiber.

7 . The diaphragm manufacturing method according to claim 2 , further comprising:

adding, to the pulp slurry, at least one of: long fiber pulp; recycled cotton fiber and recycled synthetic fiber that are hard resin coated; glass fiber; acrylic fiber; polyolefin fiber; polyester fiber; aramid fiber; or liquid-crystal polymer fiber.

8 . The diaphragm manufacturing method according to claim 1 , wherein

the diaphragm obtained after the screening and shaping of the pulp slurry is not impregnated with water repellent.

9 . The diaphragm manufacturing method according to claim 2 , wherein

the diaphragm obtained after the screening and shaping of the pulp slurry is not impregnated with water repellent.

10 . The diaphragm manufacturing method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

adding a sizing agent to the pulp slurry.

11 . The diaphragm manufacturing method according to claim 2 , further comprising:

adding a sizing agent to the pulp slurry.

12 . The diaphragm manufacturing method according to claim 1 , wherein

the fluoropolymer that is cationic includes a perfluoroalkyl terminal including at least 1 and at most 6 carbon atoms.

13 . The diaphragm manufacturing method according to claim 2 , wherein

the fluoropolymer that is anionic includes a perfluoroalkyl terminal including at least 1 and at most 6 carbon atoms.

14 . The diaphragm manufacturing method according to claim 12 , wherein

the fluoropolymer that is cationic is an acrylic resin having a nitrogen-containing cationic group.

15 . The diaphragm manufacturing method according to claim 13 , wherein

the fluoropolymer that is anionic is an acrylic resin having an anionic group.

16 . A diaphragm comprising:

a pulp in which an acrylic resin is contained, the acrylic resin including a perfluoroalkyl terminal including at least 1 and at most 6 carbon atoms.
