Abstract

The effect of N,N-dimethylacetamide on the selectivity of heterogeneous (MK-40, MA-40, and MA-41) and homogeneous (MF-4SK) ion-exchange membranes is studied for the first time. Concentration dependences of electrical conductivity and diffusion permeability of the membranes were measured experimentally over wide lithium chloride concentrations; on their basis, electrodiffusion coefficients of the co- and counterions were calculated. The interrelation between the electrodiffusion coefficients and the specific moisture capacity of the heterogeneous and homogeneous membranes (which affect their selectivity) is revealed. The calculated electrodiffusion coefficients were used in the calculations of the electromigration transport numbers of counterions in the initial membranes and those processed in mixed solvent. It is shown that the heterogeneous membrane selectivity either increased under the action of the aprotic solvent to polymer material (MA-40, MA-41) or remained practically unchanged (MK-40); the selectivity of homogeneous perfluorinated membranes (e.g., MF-4SK) decreased, thus approaching that of the studied heterogeneous anion-exchange membranes.
