Abstract

Solvent transport across anion-exchange membranes was measured for aqueous KF, KCl, KN03 (or NaNO,), KIO,, HCOONa, CH,COONa (or K), C6H,COONa, C6H5SOJNa and pCH&,H,SO,Na solutions under a tem- perature difference and an osmotic pressure difference. Hydrocarbon-type anion-exchange membranes Neosepta@ AM- 1, Aciplex@ A-20 1 and A-22 1, test membranes STA-1 to STA-5, and fluorocarbon-type anion-exchange mem- brane Tosflex@ IE-DF 17 were used. The water content is represented by the unit: g Hz0 per g dry membrane without the weight of anhydrous counterions. Plots of the volume flux against the temperature difference of both side solutions gave straight lines starting from zero. The direction of thermoosmosis was from the cold to the hot side. The order of water content of membranes is F- > 10, > Cl- >NO, for inorganic ions and CH$OO- > HCOO- > C6H5COO- >p-CH3C6H$O~ (or C6HSS0~ ) for organic ions regardless of the type of membrane.

1. Introduction

In previous papers [ l-3 ] the direction of vol- ume flux under a temperature gradient was dis- cussed for hydrophilic and hydrophobic mem- branes. For hydrophobic membranes and for cation-exchange membranes in the Li+ form the direction of thermoosmosis was from the hot to the cold side. However, for cation-exchange membranes in the H+ and Na+ forms [ 1,3 ] and for all anion-exchange membranes the direction

of thermoosmosis was from the cold to the hot side [ 2,3]. In this paper, in order to analyze the mechanism of thermoosmosis in further detail, nine anion-exchange membranes and various in- organic and organic 1: 1 electrolytes were used.

In general, some water in ion-exchange mem- branes is hydrated around the fixed charges and around the counterions and all water and ions are surrounded by the hydrophobic hydrocarbon membrane matrix. Thus, it is expected that the structure of water in the charged membranes is stronger compared with that in the external free solutions [ 41. Therefore, the mean molar trans-

ported entropy of water in the membrane is smaller than the partial molar entropy of water in the external free solutions. Therefore, the di- rection of thermoosmosis will be from the cold to the hot side solution [ 5 1. If the ionic form of the membrane changes, the water content and the interaction between counterions and water would vary largely. In this paper the dependence of the thermoosmotic coefficient on the ionic form of the membranes is studied.

2. Experimental

2. I. Membranes

Hydrocarbon-type anion-exchange mem- branes Neosepta@ AM- 1, Aciplex@ A-201 and A- 221, test membranes STA-1 to STA-5 made by Asahi Chemical Industry, and fluorocarbon-type anion-exchange membrane Tosflex@ IE-DF 17 were used. Ion-exchange capacities were mea- sured by the gravimetric method [ 61. As usual, the ion-exchange capacity is expressed by the

unit: mmol of ion-exchange groups per g of the dry membrane including the weight of counter- ions. However, the weight of dry membrane in- cluding the weight of counterions varies largely with the species of the counterions. Therefore, in this work, the ion-exchange capacity is expressed by the unit: mmol of ion-exchange groups per g of the dry membrane without the weight of an- hydrous counterions. The ionic form of the fluo- rocarbon-type membranes was changed by boil- ing the membranes in the respective salt solutions (1 mol dmm3) for 1 h. With p-toluenesulfonate counterions the exchange was followed by the weight of the dry membrane. The thickness of membranes, ion-exchange capacity and trans- port number of counterions calculated from the concentration membrane potential are shown in Table 1. The water content is expressed by the unit: g of water per g of the dry membrane with- out the weight of anhydrous counterions. The water content of ion-exchange membranes var- ies with the species of counterions as shown in Table 2. The water content was independent of the temperature in the range between 301 and 3 16 K within experimental error.

2.2. Electrolyte solutions

The reagents used for the preparation of aqueous KF, KCI, KN03 (or NaNOJ), KIO,, HCOONa, CH,COONa (or K), C6H,COONa, C6HSS03Na and pCH3C,H,S03Na solutions were special grades from Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd., Japan. In order to study the mo- lality dependence of the thermoosmotic coeffr- cients, 0.001 to 4 mol kg- * of LiCl, NaCl and KC1 solutions were used. The dependence on the nature of the membrane was studied with elec- trolytes of 0.01 mol kg-’ molality.

2.3. Measurements of thermoosmosis

To measure mass transport under a tempera- ture gradient, we used a previously described [ 2 ] thermoosmosis cell consisting of two poly (methyl methacrylate ) chambers separated by a horizontal membrane. The upper, hot chamber ( 1500 cm3) was larger than the lower, cold chamber (96 cm3). The volume flow was calculated from the movement of the meniscus in a glass capillary of 1.05mm radius connected to the lower chamber. The effective area of the membrane was 28 cm2. The temperature in the cold chamber was controlled by a glass tube cooler, through which cold water of a regulated constant temperature was circulated. The solu-

tion in the hot chamber was stirred by a glass propeller while a magnetic stirrer was used in the cold chamber. The magnetic stirrer tip was placed closer to the membrane surface. The two temper- atures in the cold side and the hot side were con- trolled to fix the mean temperature at 303.2 K.

Although the bulk solutions on the two sides of the membrane were stirred, the effective tem- perature difference between the two sides of the membrane, d7’, was different from the tempera- ture difference between the bulk solutions, AT,. For this thermoosmosis cell it has already been shown that AT/AT, is 0.70 to 0.73 for various membranes [ 21. Therefore, the effective tem- perature difference was estimated from assum- ing the relation AT= 0.7AT,.

2.4. Measurements of osmotic volumeflux

The membrane was mounted between two 65 cm3 PVC half cells. The cells were equipped with magnetic stirrers and capillaries for measuring volume flow. The molality of the external salt so- lution on one side of the membrane was fixed at 0.001 mol kg-‘, and the molality on the other side of the membrane was varied in the range of 0.2 to 0.5 mol kg-‘. The effective area of the membrane was 2.54 cm2. The cell was set in an air thermostat and the temperature was kept at 298.2 2 0.5 K. The rate of volume flow through

the membrane was determined from the move- ment of the liquid meniscus in the capillary.

3. Results and discussion

The phenomenological equations for the fluxes relative to the membrane are given by [ $71:

-Js=L,,AT+CiL,iA,E; (1)

-J, = L,,AT+ CjLijAbj (2)

where J, is the total entropy flux, J, is the abso- lute mass flux, L,, is the permeability coefficient of the membrane of finite thickness and A shows the difference across the membrane. The differ- ence in electrochemical potential, Ajij, is written as:

APi= (APi)T.p- SiAT+ ViAP+ZiFA~ (3)

where Api is the chemical potential, Si the partial molar entropy, v, the partial molar volume, z, the charge number of component i, P the pressure and # is the electrical potential. At the condition of zero current, I= C,ZiFJi=Oy and using J, = CiV~i for volume flux we have:

-J,=CiviCj(L,i-zj)CkL;kZkF (4)

X [ (q-s,)AT+ (Apj)T,.+viAf’]

where r, is the reduced transport number and Sj is the mean molar transported entropy of com- ponent j.

If there is no concentration difference and no pressure difference, for a 1: 1 electrolyte and an anion-exchange membrane, from Eq. (4) we have:

-J,=(D’+D’+D”)AT (5)

and:

DO=&Joo(~o --so)/6 (6)

D’ =zoFqXlv+ (So --so)/6

D”=(c+ +t+q?X)l,,(~-ss,)/6

where:

Lij = i;llij/S

lvi= CkVklki

(10)

l”, =l,+ +I,- (11)

qx=c_ --c+ (12)

s, =s+ +s_ (13)

s;, =s+ +s=_ (14)

The subscripts + , - and 0 refer to cation, anion and water, respectively, Ci, is the concentration in the membrane phase, 6 is the thickness of the membrane, and @Xis the effective concentration of fixed charges. If a membrane has no fixed charge and the solution does not contain electro- lyte, D’ and D” disappear and we have D= Do. If the membrane has fixed charges, the additional frictional interaction between fixed charges and the water flow must be considered. The charge effect is predicted by D’ of Eq. (7). At low con- centrations D’ is large because r. increases with decreasing concentrations of electrolyte, while at high concentration D’ tends to zero. On the other hand, D” is zero at low electrolyte concentra- tions. Since the transport number of co-ions in- creases with increasing concentration of electro- lyte, the absolute value of D” would monotonically increase with concentration.

If anion-exchange membranes are ideally permselective for counterions and there is no pressure difference, AP= 0, from Eqs. (5 ) to (8 ) volume flux can be written as [ 5 ] :

-J,=(1/6)(c01,,+z0FqN1~_) (15)

x{(s=,-s,)AT-v,An}

where AK is the osmotic pressure difference across the membrane. Eq. ( 15 ) can be rewritten as:

-Jv=D*{(~o-so)AT-voAn} (16)

where:

D*=(1/6)(Colvo+zoFqSl~_) (17)

If there is no concentration difference, Eq. ( 16 ) becomes:

-J,=DAT (18)

where:

D= (To -s,)D* (19)

Page 5: Solvent transport across anion-exchange membranes under a temperature difference and transported entropy of water

T. Suzuki et al. /Journal of Membrane Science 92 (I 994) 8% 93 89

Moreover, if there is no temperature difference, Eq. ( 16 ) becomes:

-Jv=LpAn (20)

where:

Lp=-v,,D* (21)

Therefore, if we have experimentally obtained the values of D and D* we can estimate the value of entropy difference, & -so, and the value of the difference in molar enthalpy of water between the external solution and the membrane at steady stateAho=-T(~o-~o) [l-3].

Fig. 1 shows the dependence of the thermoos- motic coefficient on molality with Neosepta@ AM- 1. The apparent transport numbers of coun- terions in membrane AM-l calculated from the concentration membrane potential were 0.98 and 0.80 for 0.1//0.2 and 2.0//4.0 mol kg-’ of KC1 solutions, respectively. At molalities lower than 0.1 mol kg-’ of salt solution, D is nearly con- stant regardless of the species of counterions within experimental error. Therefore, thermoos- motic experiments were carried out at 0.01 mol kg-’ of salt solutions in order to study the de- pendence of counterions.

In KC1 solutions the absolute value of the ther- moosmotic coefficient is at first constant and in- creases with increasing concentration as shown

in Fig. 1. It is because the salt flux toward the hot side increases at high salt molalities and the vol- ume flux due to the interaction between ions and water increases. As expected from Eq. ( 8 ) at high concentrations D” increases with increasing c+ and t+ although (S; -s, ) decreases slightly with increasing concentration. However, in LiCl so- lutions the absolute value of the thermoosmotic coefficient, D, decreases with increasing concen- tration. In this case the change of water structure due to Li+ ions in the membrane phase contrib- utes to the decrease of the difference between the transported entropy and the partial molar en- tropy of water at high concentrations, and re- duce volume flux just as thermoosmosis across cation-exchange membranes in the Li+ form oc- curs toward the cold side due to the positive value of the entropy difference. That is, the absolute value of D will decrease because the absolute val- ues of Do and D’ in Eqs. (6) and (7) will de- crease due to the decrease of (f. -so ), although the absolute value of D” in Eq. (8) increases at high concentration.

Fig. 2 shows the linear relationship between the volume flux, J,, and the temperature difference of bulk solutions, AT,, for Aciplex@ A-20 1 in 0.0 1 mol kg-’ KF, KCl, KN03, KI03, HCOONa, CH,COONa, C6H,COONa, and p- CH3C6H,S03Na solutions. Similar relationships between J, and AT, were also observed for the other membranes.

The thermoosmotic coefficient calculated from the slopes in Fig. 2 using the method of least squares and the experimental results with the other membranes are plotted in Fig. 3, where the thermoosmotic coefficient per unit thickness of membranes, 6D, were used to compare the dif- ferences among the membranes. The thermoos- motic coefficient depends largely on the mobil- ity of water in the membrane and the water content. The mobility of water is inversely pro- portional to the friction between the membrane matrix containing counterions and water. But we cannot fmd a simple relationship between the thermoosmotic coefficient and the reciprocal of the mobilities of counterions in free solutions. Water in the membrane exists in various states: that is, firmly or weakly bound water to ions and

shows that the plot gives a smooth curve for each membrane, where many various anions from small halide ions to large organic ions were used as counterions. For the anion-exchange mem- branes, considering experimental error, the mean molar transported entropy of water is practically all positive. However, for cation-exchange mem- branes the effect of counterions on the trans- ported entropy of water in the membrane is very strong and the direction of thermoosmotic vol- ume flux varied with the species of counterions [ 3,8]. It is interesting that the effect of the var- ious anions on the structure of water around counterions seems to be small compared with that of cations.

Fig. 4 shows that the osmotic volume flux across Aciplex@ A-22 1 increases linearly with the difference in osmotic pressure of the external salt solutions. Eq. (23 ) was used to estimate the os- motic pressure difference AK.

values of g given in ref. 10 were used to estimate the difference in osmotic pressure. The values of D* were calculated from the slopes in Fig. 4 us- ing Eqs. (20) and (2 1). Fig. 5 shows the values of the coefticient SD* against the water content for various membranes. The plot of 6D* against the water content is scattered compared with Fig. 3 (for the coefficient SD). Using the data of D and D*, the values of - (& -so ) are estimated and shown in Table 3. For Aciplex @ A-22 1 in the

As shown in Table 2 and ref. 2 the order of the water content of membranes is F- > 10, > Cl- >NO, for inorganic ions and CH&OO- > HCOO- > C6H5COO- > p- CH3C6H4S0~ (or C6H5SO~ ) for organic ions regardless of the type of membrane. On the other hand,the order of absolute value of the entropy difference between transported entropy and par- tial molar entropy of water is 10, >F- >Cl- >NO, for inorganic ions and C6H5COO- > CH&OO- > HCOO- for organic ions for all membranes. For inorganic anions the order of the entropy difference is similar to the order of water content. On the other hand for or- ganic anions the order of the entropy difference is opposite to the order of water content. The ra- tios of the residence time for organic anions were reported: r*_ /r; = 1.28 for CH,COO-,r?/r;S = 2.0 for C6H5COO- and r*_/tz =0.6 for C6HSS0~, where r? and 7: are the residence times of water hydrated around an- ions and free water, respectively [ 11,12 1. The order of the ratios of the residence time is coin- cident with that of the entropy difference for or- ganic anions. The hydrophobic part of organic ions may contribute to the water structure in the membrane and to reduce the entropy of water
