The preparation of SAMS-CMC-CS bipolar membrane grafted onto CMC by SAMS was reported. The cross-section view of SAMS-CMC-CS BM were studied by SEM. FT-IR spectrum indicated that SAMS-CMC-CS BM contained-SO 3−,-COO− and −N=CHR functional groups. Compared with CMC-CS BM, SAMS-CMC-CS BM appears to have better mechanical strength and chemical stability in alkali solution at [OH−]≥9.5 mol/L, with a swelling of 55 %. The electrochemical properties of SAMS-CMC-CS BM were also studied. SAMS-CS-CMC BM not only effectively prevented FeO 42− from diffusing into the cathode chamber, but also played an important role in the supply of OH− consumed during the electro-generated FeO 42− process.
