description

Starting from a simple theoretical model based on Nernst-Planck flux equations and the Donnan equilibrium relationship, the ionic transport across a porous, charged membrane is analysed and conditions are given which make exact the so-called “constant field assumption”. The validity of the reported results is later verified in the case of a well-known problem: the ionic transport across a cation-exchange membrane under bi-ionic conditions.
