Measurement of Membrane Characteristics Using the Phenomenological Equation and the Overall Mass Transport Equation in Ion-Exchange Membrane Electrodialysis of Saline Water by Yoshinobu Tanaka

“…The overall membrane pair characteristics included in the overall mass transport equation are understandable using the phenomenological equations expressed in the irreversible thermodynamics. In this investigation, the overall membrane pair characteristics (overall transport number 𝜆, overall solute permeability 𝜇, overall electro-osmotic permeability 𝜙 and overall hydraulic permeability 𝜌) were measured by seawater electrodialysis changing current density, temperature and salt concentration, and it was found that 𝜇 occasionally takes minus value. …”
