This paper focuses on changes in potential drops over different parts of a two-compartment electrodialtyic cell during process developed for P recovery from sewage sludge ash and simultaneous removal heavy metals. The has two compartments separated by cation exchange membrane. suspension is the anode compartment. major aim this work to obtain knowledge needed optimize energy consumption process...

Surface and bulk membrane have been electrically and chemically characterized by different kinds of measurements. Tangential streaming potential, impedance spectroscopy, membrane potential and salt diffusion were measured with a porous polysulfone membrane for ultrafiltration when it was in contact with NaCl solutions at different concentrations (5×10 c 5×10 M). From these experiments some memb...

The effective ion-exchange capacities of ion-exchange materials were determined by measuring the change in the equilibrium conductivity of a column packed with analyte. The developed instrumental method can provide effective ion-exchange capacities for both cation and anion exchangers with simple operations. The cation-exchange capacity of a weak-acid cation-exchange resin (TSKgel SuperIC-Catio...

Ionic diffusion coefficients in the membrane are needed for modelling of ion transport ion-exchange membranes (IEMs) with Nernst-Planck equation. We have determined ionic Na+, OH?, H+, Cl?, SO42?, NaSO4?, and HSO4? from experiments dilute NaCl, NaOH, HCl, Na2SO4, H2SO4 solutions through IEMs conductivity measured these solutions, using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The order fluxes ac...

Abstract The alternative desalination technique of membrane capacitive deionization (MCDI) has emerged in the last 15 years and received a lot research attention since then. By using voltage applied between two electrodes covered with ion-exchange membranes, MCDI attempted to challenge established methods such as reverse osmosis or electrodialysis. In this study, through crosslinking sulfosucci...

The current generated by electrogenic sodium-potassium exchange at the basolateral membrane of the turtle colon can be measured directly in tissues that have been treated with serosal barium (to block the basolateral potassium conductance) and mucosal amphotericin B (to reduce the cation selectivity of the apical membrane). We studied the activation of this pump current by mucosal sodium and se...

The physisorption of negatively charged single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) of different lengths onto the surface of anion-exchange membranes is sensitively shown to alter the anion flux through the membrane. At low surface concentrations, the physisorbed DNAs act to suppress an electroconvection vortex instability that drives the anion flux into the membrane and hence reduce the overlimiting current t...

A low cost cation exchange membrane to be used in a specific bioelectrochemical system has been developed using poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK). This material is presented as an alternative to current commercial ion exchange membranes that have been primarily designed for fuel cell applications. To increase the hydrophilicity and ion transport of the PEEK material, charged groups are introduced...
