Abstract
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.
