By. Spivakov et al., THEORY AND MATHEMATICAL-MODELS OF ION RETENTION BY WATER-SOLUBLE POLYMERS DURING MEMBRANE FILTRATION, Macromolecular theory and simulations, 5(2), 1996, pp. 357-364
Theoretical approaches to the description of ion retention in aqueous
solution by soluble polymers during membrane filtration are proposed.
Examination of the chemisms responsible for inorganic ion complexation
and retention by membrane-based separations helps to select appropria
te hydrophilic polymers and optimum chemical conditions for the proces
s. The ion separation and enrichment data may be formally explained by
using mathematical models based on the theory of kinetics of the reac
tions in partially open systems.
