OSTI ID:5983241

The evaluation of the proprietary membrane designated A-1 has been completed. This membrane was evaluated using a range of test conditions which allow the systematic study of the effect of catholyte concentration, anolyte concentration, and concentration gradient across the membrane. The membrane properties of interest are sodium ion transport, electroosmotic water flux, and conductivity. Five experimental cation exchange membranes have been obtained and their screening will begin in the coming month.
