Abstract Solvent transports across the perfluorosulfonic acid-type membrane Flemion S were measured for aqueous electrolyte solutions under a temperature difference and under an osmotic pressure difference. H+, Li+, Na+, K+, NH 4 + , CH3NH 3 + , (CH3)2NH 2 + , (CH3)3NH+, (CH3)4N+, (C2H5)4N+, (n-C3H7)4N+ and (n-C4H9)4N+ were used as counterions. Water flux across the membrane in HCl solution is higher than that in the other electrolyte solutions because hydrogen ions can exchange with the hydrogen of the neighbor water molecules and contribute to the water transport across the membrane as a proton jump in conductivity. The direction of thermoosmosis across the membrane in HCl, NaCl, (CH3)4NCl and (C2H5)4NCl solutions was from the cold side to the hot side and that in LiCl, KCl, NH4Cl, CH3NH3Cl, (CH3)2NH2Cl and (n-C4H9)4NBr solutions was from the hot side to the cold side, although thermoosmosis across anion-exchange membranes always occurs toward the hot side.
