Ion transfer in ion-exchange and membrane materials

Abstract

Modern concepts of mass transport in solids are considered. Essential information on the structure of organic and inorganic ion-exchange materials and on defect formation processes is presented. The key methods of investigations of ion transfer are described. The results of studies on the transfer processes in membrane systems induced by various driving forces including the concentration, electric potential and electrochemical potential gradients are generalised. The bibliography includes 530 references.
