Flow through Porous Media XVI: Electrokinetic Transport Coefficients of Aqueous Solutions of Mercuric Chloride and Glycine through a Sintered Disc Impregnated with a Cellulose Acetate Membrane under a Magnetic Field.

The effect of the magnetic field on the electrokinetic transport coefficients (permeability coefficient and electro-osmotic permeability coefficient) of water and aqueous solutions of mercuric chloride and glycine through a sintered disc impregnated with cellulose acetate at different potentials, concentrations, and magnetic fields varying up to 21 kg/cm(2) are reported at 308.15 K. The phenomenological coefficients characterizing the electro-osmotic flow and the membrane characteristics are also estimated for the various solutions with the object of determining the efficiencies of electrokinetic energy conversion and zeta potential. The effect of magnetic field has been attributed to the molecular orientation of dipoles in solutions and to the change in the structure of the membrane. Copyright 1999 Academic Press.

Transport Properties of Aqueous Glycerol and Aqueous Mannitol through the Zirconium Oxide Membrane

The transport properties of aqueous glycerol and aqueous mannitol across a zirconium oxide membrane are, investigated from the point of view of irreversible thermodynamics. The data on hydrodynamic permeability are analyzed in terms of frictional coefficients and entropy of activation. The phenomenological coefficient characterizing the electroosmotic flow and the membrane characteristics are also estimated for the various solutions with the object of determining the efficiencies of electrokinetic energy conversion and zeta potential.
