Electrokinetic and electrochemical characterisations of a composite polyamide/polysulfone membrane (PAC1) were carried out by measuring the streaming potential along the membrane surface (polyamide active layer) and the membrane potential at different pHs (3<pH<9). These results allow the determinat

The combined effect of both concentration and pressure differences on electrical potential (Df ) for two ion-exchanger membranes, one positively charged (AE) and another negatively charged (CE), measured with the membranes in contact with NaCl solutions was studied. Results show a linear dependence

The influence of concentration-polarisation on salt transport across three membranes with different structures, an ultrafiltration (PPS), an asymmetric nanofiltration (PES-10) and a symmetric for dialysis (C-5), was studied. Salt diffusion measurements were carried out in a dead-end cell, at differe
