(54)	Method for preparing an anion exchange membrane with ion exchange groups and an apparatus for removal of ions

(57) The invention provides a method for preparing an anion exchange membrane with anion exchange groups. The method comprises polymerizing a first monomer with a functional group selected from the pyridine derivatives with a second monomer selected from the benzene derivatives such as for example styrene to form a copolymer. The copolymer may be crosslinked with a crosslinker. The functional group of the copolymer may be functionalized to an anion exchange group.
