Electrokinetic Membrane Processes

  • Chapter
Membrane Processes in Industry and Biomedicine

Abstract

All membrane processes have the common objectives of fractionation, concentration, and/or purification. The driving forces may be concentration or pressure gradients, as, for example, in dialysis, reverse osmosis, or ultrafiltration. In the present paper we wish to discuss a family of interrelated processes wherein the same objectives are achieved through electrical driving forces. Most important among these is electrodialysis using ion permselective membranes, but we shall omit it from our considerations, its applications being widely known and studied (1). Instead, we shall focus on processes applicable primarily to:

  • Large scale electrophoretic fractionation and concentration.

  • Non-clogging electrofiltration of particulate suspensions.

  • Electroosmotic concentration and desalting of macromolecular systems.

  • Electroadsorption at the membranes in absence of the electroosmotic effect.
