Metal ion transport through barium Tungstate parchment-supported membrane: Evaluation of membrane parameters based on application of irreversible thermodynamics and theory of absolute reaction rates

In this communication the membrane potential and conductance measurement data across parchment-supported barium tungstate membrane have been used to evaluate the effective fixed charge density of the membrane by applying the method based on thermodynamics of irreversible processes. At the same time experimentally observed membrane conductance values at different temperatures have been used to compute various thermodynamic parameters.
