✦ Synopsis


A new analysis is presented of the relations between the multicomponent diffusion coefficients and the classical Kedem-Katchalsky coefficients which describe solute transport in membranes. This analysis is applied to binary and ternary systems and shows the importance of system nonideality in the calculation of solute diffusion coefficients. It is shown that the solute permeability coefficients can be calculated from independent knowledge of the nonideal thermodynamic activity coefficients and the multicomponent diffusion coefficients of the system.
