“…The envisaged methodology is based on the comparison of the hydration properties obtained by experimental and theoretical approaches (volumetric properties from a thermodynamic method and quantum mechanics data) with the mass transfer of saccharides through an NF membrane. Thus, correlations between the solute hydration properties obtained at different scales [ 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ] and the mass transfer parameters, which characterize the impact of the electrolyte on the saccharide transfer, are investigated to improve the understanding of the impact of the nature (cation, anion, size, valence, etc.) and the concentration of the ions.…”
