“…Greater attention is paid to the transport of surfactants through ion exchange membranes: the permeability and cation flux of nitrogen containing organic bases were studied [11][12][13]; the diffusion per meability, electric conductivity, and current-voltage characteristics of heterogeneous anion exchange membranes after their interaction with dodecyl sulfate ions under polarization conditions were measured [14]; and the results of investigation of the moisture content, water distribution in the membrane, as well as electric transport properties and electrokinetic effects in heterogeneous and homogeneous ion exchange membranes depending on the sorption of surface active cations, anions, and neutral organic substances on them, were described [15][16][17][18]. In the basis of pub lished data, it can be concluded that the rate of surfac tant transfer through the membranes is affected by var ious factors, such as the pH of the solutions, the sizes and concentration of diffusant molecules, ionic strength, resistance, viscosity of the medium, temper ature, hydrolytic pressure, size of blowing agents or nature of the active components of the membranes, and membrane thickness and surface area.…”
