               Application No. 09/909,898                                                                                        


                                                      INTRODUCTION                                                               
                      The claims are directed to an anionic exchange membrane, a process for producing the                       
               membrane, and solution treating apparatus employing the membrane.  Claims 1 and 5 are                             
               illustrative:                                                                                                     
                      1.  An anion exchange membrane comprising a resin phase which contains from 20 to                          
               96 mass% of a polymer having repeating units represented by the following formula (1):                            













               wherein A is a C3-8 alkylene group or an alkyleneoxyalkyl group having a total carbon                             
               number of from 4 to 9, each of R1, R2 and R3 is a hydrogen atom, a C1-6  alkyl group or a                         
               hydroxyalkyl group, and X- is an anion, and wherein any hydrogen atom bonded to the benzene                       
               ring may be substituted by an alkyl group or a halogen atom, and from 4 to 80 mass% of a                          
               thermoplastic polymer having no ion exchange groups, mixed substantially uniformly.
