Sulfonatéd poly (2, 6-dimethylphenylene ether) cation exchange membranesshow promise as reverse os-mosis membranes, having from 8 to 10 times as high water permeability as homogeneous cellulose acetate at the same salt rejection levels for 1% NaClfeeds. Membrane morphologies can be varied to give a wide range of salt rejections and water permeabilities. Since the principal mechanism of salt rejection is Donnan exclusion, membrane performance is highly dependent on feed composition.There exist, basically, two types of reverse osmosis mem-branes—solution-diffusion membranes with or without cou-pled flows and ion exchange membranes. In a solution-diffusion membrane, solvent and solute pass through the membrane by first being dissolved in the mem-brane polymer and then diffusing across. Salt rejection occurs because solvent and solute solubilities and diffusion coefficients differ. Flow coupling exists when there are membrane imperfections of sufficient size to permit viscous flow and allow solute to be transported by drag forces. Cellulose acetate membranes are examples of solution-diffusion membranes. Ion exchange membranes are viscous flow membranes which exclude salt by electrical forces. When an ion exchange membrane is immersed in an electrolyte solution, there is a tendency for counterions to diffuse out into the solution and coions to diffuse from the solution into the membranebe-cause of concentration differences between the membrane and the surrounding solution. Thus a charge imbalance is created, and the membrane takes on a potential, the Donnan potential, which inhibits further coion uptake. A cation exchange membrane takes on a negative charge and, thus, excludes anions. Since electroneutrality must be maintained, coion rejection is equivalent to salt rejection. Sulfonated
