Notes:
Reverse osmosis of some aromatic compounds in 1-propanol solution using porous cellulose acetate membranes and some factors which influence the organic solute permeability were investigated. Reverse osmosis data for a number of benzene derivatives showed that only phenol was rejected and the others were enriched. For the compounds with various substituent groups, the solute permeabilities have the following order; OH 〈 CH3 〈 H 〈 Cl 〈 NH2 〈 NO2. In the series of benzene, naphthalene, and anthracene, the permeability is related to the molar volume of solutes and varied as follows: benzene 〈 naphthalene 〈 anthracene. Generally speaking, there are two factors - a partition coefficient and a diffusion coefficient - for governing the permeation behavior through the membrane. Under the condition that no steric effect is exerted, the partition coefficient exclusively is a dominant factor. A good correlation between the partition coefficient of a particle and that of the membrane was pound. The partition coefficients are closely related to the dipole moment of solutes.
