Abstract

Two effects give rise to osmosis in a permeable membrane: the coupling effect between the ion streams and water, demonstrated by binary isotonic osmosis, and the osmotic difference between the outside solutions. But, in contrast to a semipermeable membrane, it is not the difference in the outside concentrations but the difference in the Donnan ions inside the membrane that produces the flux of water.
