the amount of NaOH produced depends on several factors such as the type of membranes Membranes 2022, 12, 602 16 of 18 and whether they are exchange or composite membranes. In this comparative study, one can reach about 2.5 M NaOH after 8 h using the CMX/AEM membrane pair. The quantities of NaOH produced in the cathodic compartment differ from one pair to another, and this can be explained by the physicochemical characteristics of the used membranes. More specifically, the difference in exchange capacity, as well as the selectiv- ity and the affinity, of the functional groups of the membranes to Na+ ions are observed. Figure 10. Quanttiitty of NaOH generated in the cathodic compartment with I = 500 mA.. 4. Conclusions 4. Conclusions The production of bleach at high concentrations by electrolyzing a saturated sodium The production of bleach at high concentrations by electrolyzing a saturated sodium chloride solution is not simple. Several parameters and factors are involved in both chloride chloride solution is not simple. Several parameters and factors are involved in both chlo- oxidation and water reduction. In addition, the aggressiveness of hypochlorite ions and ride oxidation and water reduction. In addition, the aggressiveness of hypochlorite ions chlorine molecules is so important that few materials can resist them. and chlorine molecules is so important that few materials can resist them.

We have shown that it is possible to reach active chlorine contents close to 1.8 wt%, We have shown that it is possible to reach active chlorine contents close to 1.8 wt%, which is significantly higher than the contents obtained by simple electrolysis with or which is significantly higher than the contents obtained by simple electrolysis with or without a separator (0.3 to 1.0 wt%) and that the limiting factor is the back-diffusion of without a separator (0.3 to 1.0 wt%) and that the limiting factor is the back-diffusion of the the HClO produced in the anode compartment into the other compartments through the HClO produced in the anode compartment into the other compartments through the pores of the ceramic membranes. Only the Nafion®117 type membranes and our BN/PTFE pores of the ceramic membranes. Only the Nafion®117 type membranes and our BN/PTFE membranes are chemically resistant, even after many operations. membranes are chemically resistant, even after many operations. This study allowed us to validate the concept of such a process, and we are currently working on the means to reduce the porosity of the BN/PTFE membranes in order to limit the loss of HClO species by back-diffusion in the other compartments.
