Abstract
A process for producing an anion exchange membrane, which comprises mixing from 25 to 95 mass % of a polymer having anion exchange groups or active groups convertible to anion exchange groups (hereinafter referred to as polymer 1), and from 5 to 75 mass % of a polymer having no anion exchange groups or no active groups convertible to anion exchange groups (hereinafter referred to as polymer 2), and forming the obtained composition into a membrane, said process including a step of cross-linking an aromatic ring of a repeating unit constituting polymer 1 with an aromatic ring of another repeating unit constituting polymer 1 or with a cross-linkable site of polymer 2, and in a case where polymer 1 is a polymer having active groups convertible to anion exchange groups, a step of converting the active groups to anion exchange groups.
