Calculation of the salt separation by negatively charged gel-filled membranes

The salt separations of negatively charged gel-filled membranes composed of poly(2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid) gels anchored within a polypropylene microporous substrate have been determined experimentally and modeled theoretically. The separation of these membranes were calculated by both the Teorell, Meyer and Sievers (TMS) model and the Donnan–Steric Pore (DSP) model coupled with the extended Nernst–Planck equation. For …
