Le. Ermakova et al., Equilibrium and transport characteristics of perfluorinated cation-exchange membranes containing carboxyl groups, COLL J, 63(1), 2001, pp. 38-44
Equilibrium (the exchange capacity and moisture content) and transport (the
ion transport numbers and the electrical conductance) properties of perflu
orinated cation-exchange membranes containing carboxyl groups were studied
as a function of pH and concentration of KCl solutions (10(-4)-1 M). Dissoc
iation constants of carboxyl groups, adsorption potentials of K+ ions, tran
sport numbers and mobilities of counterions in the membranes, concentration
s of fixed ions, co- and counterions, as well as the Donnan potentials were
calculated.
