“…The most efficient transport properties were found for the chloride ions. Ramkumar et al (1998) studied the transport of chloride and bromide ions through a Nafion 117 cation exchange membrane by [R(tta) 3 ] complexes (R = Pr, Eu). The β-diketonate complexes were immobilized by precipitation on the polymer membrane.…”

“…In practice, it has been observed that a slight permeation of anions occurs. [7][8][9][10][11][12] This is especially pronounced in cases where the ionic strengths of the solutions are high. Sikdar first reported this interesting property for Na +saturated membranes.…”

“…It is normally expected to be permselective and to reject anions totally because of their electrical charge, which is identical to that of the fixed ions. In practice, it has been observed that a slight permeation of anions occurs. − This is especially pronounced in cases where the ionic strengths of the solutions are high. Sikdar first reported this interesting property for Na + -saturated membranes. − He observed that fluxes of l -alanine through the Na + -saturated membrane increased as the solute was shifted from neutral to anionic form and postulated the ”Donnan potential” theory.…”
The permeation of low molecular weight anions from liquors having high ionic strengths through a Nafion 811 membrane in Na+ form has been studied. The penetration of solutes through the membrane was monitored using UV-visible spectrometry. A relation between penetration and ionic size has been established. The influence of the presence of other ions on the permeation has also been investigated. The results show that the membrane has great potential as part of a selective interface in applications where the concentration of small anions is to be monitored in media with high ionic strengths. In light of the new results, we have validated a previously developed system for monitoring the concentrations of hydrogen sulfide ion and dissolved lignin in a laboratory-scale kraft cooking system.
“…Since Nafion is a cation exchange membrane, pH of the external solution would affect the uptake property of Nafion. From our earlier studies [6][7][8] it was seen that for transition metal ions, the maximum uptake was in the pH range of 3.5-5.5 using sodium acetate buffer medium. Therefore in the present study, the pH was maintained in this range.…”

“…Permeation of neutral substances, heterocyclic bases and cations. [6][7][8] Knowledge of the basic transport phenomena of ions in ion exchange membranes was important for the applications of these membranes. Pretreatment of Nafion membrane prior to its use in study has a strong effect on the ion exchange properties.…”
In the present study, uptake studies of transition metal ions like Cu 2+ and Co 2+ were carried out with Nafion membrane. The effects of different experimental conditions were evaluated. The Nafion membrane was pre-treated by two different ways and used for the studies. The studies were also carried out in presence of complexing agents like ethylenediamine and EDTA. It was seen that the maximum uptake occurred in the pH range of 3-5. The uptake capacity of Nafion was affected by the pre-treatment procedure. This was attributed to the changes of Nafion structure. The presence of different Complexing agents in solution affects the uptake capacity. This could be understood from the strength of the complexes formed by metal ions and thus the reduction in the uptake capacity. The formation of negatively charged complexes by EDTA results in a very low uptake of the metal ions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
