We have purchased Nafion PEM membrane Cat. No. 676470.
What is the specific pretreatment is suggested its use for application microbial fuel cells (MFCs). As well, expecting precautions in using this membrane.
Thanks in advance
Hi,
The most followed pretreatment is
1. Boiling Nafion membrane in 3% hydrogen peroxide solution at 80 degree C for 1 hour(hot plate), then rinsing several times with Distelled water....
2. Boiling again with Distilled water at 80C for 2 hrs, then rinsing several times
3. Finally, Boiling in 4-5% H2SO4 solution at 80C for 1- 1.5 hrs, and rinsing again with DW.
Hope it will help you, All the best.

The recommended pretreatment for NAFION Cat. no. 676470 depends on the application. Generally, for electrochemical applications, NAFION membranes should be pre-treated by soaking in a solution of concentrated sulfuric acid for several hours or overnight, followed by thorough rinsing with deionized water. However, it is important to refer to the manufacturer's instructions and safety data sheet for specific recommendations and precautions.
