Electrical Factors Influencing the Rate of Filtration of Aqueous Electrolyte Solutions through Cellophane Membranes
نویسندگان
چکیده
The mechanisms by which electrokinetic factors might influence the filtration rate of aqueous electrolyte solutions through membranes are discussed. The filtration rate of a thorium chloride solution in which the membrane is isoelectric is compared with those of other solutions. The maximum filtration rate is found at the isoelectric concentration, the rate falling as the electrokinetic potential increases. The results demonstrate an inverse relation between the electrokinetic potential and the filtration rate but do not permit the evaluation with any great exactitude of the respective rôles played by the two proposed mechanisms, namely, a stream potential-electroosmotic back-transport and a variation in effective pore diameter due to an orientation of water dipoles determined by electrical factors. Evidence is presented that Lepeschkin's membrane resistance is an artifact.

This paper reports the electrical properties of thick lipid membranes in the absence and presence of valinomycin. The thick lipid membranes were formed by placing a solution of sheep red cell lipids in decane between two cellophane partitions which formed the interfaces between the membrane and the two aqueous bathing solutions. The DC electrical resistance of these structures was found to be d...

The major factors contributing to the selectivity of charged synthetic membranes are discussed. Transport through porous polyelectrolyte membranes, containing water-filled interstices, can be predicted approximately from Donnan equilibria, representing the interaction between polyelectrolyte and counter-ions by "ion-binding". A simple relation between permselectivity and maximal salt rejection ...
