The transmembrane pressure and membrane charge were confirmed as important factors changing the relative dominance of the three ion transport mechanisms :diffusion, convection and electromigration. In weakly charged membranes, diffusion is predominant, even at high water fluxes. The electromigration flux can counteract a strong convective flux in highly charged membranes. 2, record 1, English, - ion%20transport%20mechanism

Pressure retarded osmosis(PRO) uses the selective diffusion of water across a membrane in order to pressurize seawater. Freshwater and seawater are placed on either side of a membrane, and the seawater side is pressurized. As the seawater side increases in pressure and decreases in salinity, part of the water is discharged through a turbine while the rest is put in a pressure exchanger to pressurize the incoming seawater... 2, record 2, English, - pressure%20retarded%20osmosis

Pour récupérer l'énergie bleue, deux technologies existent déjà. Elles se fondent sur une membrane placée entre deux contenants de salinité différente. La première, l'osmose à pression retardée […], fonctionne en laissant l'eau douce d'un des contenants traverser la membrane semi-perméable qui la sépare de l'eau salée de l'autre contenant pour diminuer la concentration en sel de celui-ci. L'augmentation de la pression dans le contenant d'eau salée permet de produire de l'énergie mécanique en actionnant une turbine. 2, record 2, French, - osmose%20%C3%A0%20pression%20retard%C3%A9e

The major advantages of this procedure are the nonchemical nature of the method and its reversibility of immobilization. However, the possibility of loss of enzyme by diffusion, and the same diffusion phenomenon controlling passage of substrates and products through the liquid membrane via a solubility mechanism rather than size exclusion mechanism, can be a disadvantage. 1, record 4, English, - liquid%2Dsurfactant%20membrane%20method

The earliest enzyme electrodes consisted of an electrochemical sensor, a semipermeable membrane and an intermediate layer containing the enzyme. This system required diffusion of the substrate through the membrane, there to react with the enzyme and so causing production or consumption of a material which was then measured by the electrochemical sensor.... Later enzyme electrodes dispensed with the semipermeable membrane and to attain more rapid response times used enzymes immobilised on easily accessible surfaces of inorganic supports. 3, record 5, English, - enzyme%20electrode

Phenomenon which arises as a result of the build-up of a layer of rejected solute at the membrane surface which impedes solvent flow. The resistance to flow due to this layer thus increases until a point is reached where the rate of diffusion of solute away from the polarization layer equals the rate of deposition. This phenomenon also explains why the solvent flux often becomes invariant with an increasing transmembrane pressure drop. Although solvent flux through a membrane is a hydraulic pressure-activated process and should increase with increasing pressure, a point is reached where the rate of build-up of the solute polarization layer is such that flow is impeded and further increases in pressure have no effect. 2, record 6, English, - concentration%20polarization

Concentration is the only important application with regard to initial enzyme recovery. Coarse fractionation is rarely attempted on a large scale, mainly because concentration polarisation ... occurs during ultra-filtration, effectively preventing an adequate separation. Equally, removal of salts and low molecular weight species alone is not the prime consideration, although ultrafiltration is commonly used to this end later in enzyme purification processes. 4, record 6, English, - concentration%20polarization

Grâce à leurs propriétés plastiques, les supports membranaires peuvent équiper des réacteurs de conceptions technologiques très diverses. Dans certains cas, la membrane constitue une simple barrière physique retenant les macromolécules dans le compartiment réactionnel : c'est le principe des membranes d'ultrafiltration utilisées pour récupérer le biocatalyseur dans les réacteurs agités.

The phenomenon which causes solutes to concentrate at the filter's membrane surface forming a gel layer. The thickness of this gel layer will increase until its hydraulic resistance to solvent transport reduces the flux to an equilibrium value such that the convective transport of solutes on the surface equals the back diffusion from the surface. In single-pass operation the concentration of sulutes is low, so concentration polarization does not limit flux. 1, record 18, English, - concentration%20polarization
