Influence of Coion and Counterion Size on Multi-ionic Solution Nanofiltration

چکیده
Nanofiltration of a solution containing four monovalent ions has been carried out to assess the Donnan steric and dielectrical exclusion pore model (DSDE-PM). The sequences of the ions rejections were Li > Cl > IO3 > K and IO3 > K > Li > Cl when membrane was positive or negative charged, respectively. Several types of ionic radii were implemented either in the interfaces equilibrium or in transport equations and the Stokes radius gave the best fitting, followed by a model that takes cavity radius for DE and crystal radius for the rest of hindrance factors. Analysis of the model equations showed that for high charge membrane, counterion with the highest mobility inside the pores is more rejected than the slowest one. The sequence of coions rejections is more difficult to predict as it depends on the relative contribution of mobility and several hindrance factors as well.

A New Model for the Electrical Double Layer Interaction between Two Surfaces in Aqueous Solutions
A new theoretical model is developed to evaluate the total potential energy of interaction between two charged flat plates in aqueous solutions. Instead of using the Boltzmann distribution to predict the ionic concentrations of counterion and coion, which is not correct for small confined spaces, this modified model determines the ionic concentrations of counterion and coion based on the Poisso...

In this paper, the variation of permselectivity in the course of concentration polarization is systematically analyzed for a three-layer membrane system consisting of a nonperfectly permselective ion exchange membrane, homogeneous or heterogeneous, flanked by two diffusion layers of a binary univalent electrolyte. For a heterogeneous membrane, an ionic transport model is proposed, which is amen...

The removal mechanisms of three hormone mimicking organic compounds by nanofiltration (NF) membranes have been examined. Two NF membranes having different pore sizes were used in laboratory-scale nanofiltration experiments with feed solutions spiked with a hormone mimicking compound—nonylphenol, tertbutylphenol, or bisphenol A. Retention of the compounds was determined at various solution chemi...
