The Investigation of Time-dependent Solute Transport through Horizontally Situated Membrane: The Effect of Configuration Membrane System

摘要

This paper presents an experimental and theoretical investigation ofsolute transport through a horizontally situated membrane. Theexperimental investigation was carried out by the laserinterferometric method in association with a computer system ofinterference image analysis. On the basis of this analysis thicknessof near-membrane layers, solution concentration drops on these layersas well as diffusion fluxes of diluted substance are determined.Different fluxes of the soluble substance are observed depending onthe configuration of the system. The results of the experimental andtheoretical investigation of diffusion fluxes are conformable inrespect of measurement error, with one adjustment parameter, i.e. thesolute partition coefficient.
