Notes:
A quantitative study has been made of the effects on the membrane gel structure of parameters whose significance with respect to desalination performance had previously been empirically established. The composition of the polymer solutions, the fabrication temperatures, and the pressure employed during desalination are shown to be related, in that they all influence the swelling behavior of the gel structure. The relationship which has been found between the water content and the rate of water transport across semipermeable membranes of cellulose acetate is explained on the basis of a solution transport mechanism.
