The viability of electrodialysis (ED) for the enhancement of mass tran
sfer through passive neutral membranes in a flow injection system was
investigated. A Spectrapore and Technicon type C membrane were evaluat
ed using chloride anions as analyte. Both membranes showed an increase
in mass transfer and the proposed electrodialyser/FIA system was appl
ied for the determination of chloride in industrial effluents with res
ults that compared very well with a standard titration procedure. (C)
