Abstract
Diffusion of different electrolytes through a negatively charged (cation-exchange) membrane into distilled water has been studied. It has been established theoretically (with no regard to the presence of diffusion layers) that the integral diffusion permeability coefficient of an electrolyte depends on the diffusion coefficients and the ratio between the charge numbers of a cation–anion pair, the ratio between the density of charges fixed in the membrane and electrolyte concentration, and the averaged coefficient of equilibrium distribution of cation−anion ion pairs in the membrane matrix. It has been found that, when co-ions have a higher mobility, the dependence of diffusion permeability on electrolyte concentration passes through a maximum. Derived equations have been compared with experimental dependences of the diffusion permeability of an MC-40 membrane with respect to different solutions of inorganic 1: 1 and 2: 1 electrolytes. The developed method has been shown to be applicable for describing diffusion of any electrolytes (including asymmetric ones) through arbitrary uniformly charged membranes.
