Abstract: Transport through porous membranes was studied using ion flows through porous synthetic membranes. It was found that translocation of cations itself occurs primarily by the action of electric forces the origin of which lies in the interaction of ions themselves in solutions around the membrane. The results also indicate that the translocation of the ion may be continuously controlled and also stopped by the external electric voltage applied on the transport system.
