Abstract

A surface adsorption mechanism is proposed for the effect of asymmetric diffusion permeability of a modified membrane. A model is developed to describe diffusion transfer through the modified membrane with regard to the finiteness of the rate of adsorption on external membrane surfaces. Expressions are derived for diffusion fluxes as functions of transfer direction, and asymmetry coefficient is calculated for the diffusion permeability of the membrane. It is shown that the difference in the kinetic properties of the external surfaces of the membrane, which results from the modification of one of the surfaces, may induce the effect of asymmetric diffusion permeability.
