Abstract
The asymmetry of the current–voltage characteristics of ion-exchange membranes is explained in terms of the model of a bilayer fine porous membrane with constant charge distributions over the thickness of layers. This model has previously been proposed for determining diffusion permeability of membranes. In the case of one uncharged (neutral) layer, a set of two implicit algebraic equations is derived for determining the total current–voltage characteristics (CVC) of a membrane. For the first time, implicit algebraic equations are obtained for calculating the limiting currents at different orientations of an anisotropic membrane in an electrodialysis cell and explicit expressions are derived for determining specific conductivity of the membrane from the slope of the ohmic region of a CVC under the approximation of “excluded coions.” The model may be successfully used for describing the CVCs of perfluorinated MF-4SC sulfonic cation-exchange membranes, the surface layers of which are modified with polyaniline or halloysite.
