Notes:
A time lag method is described for use with a membrane-covered, rotated disc electrode that allows determination of the partitioning and diffusivity of small molecules in hydrophilic gel membranes and membrane permeability from a single measurement. This new technique takes into account the concentration boundary layer in the solution adjacent to the membrane and reaction at the electrode surface of solutes that are diffusion- or kinetic-limited. Examples are given of the use of this method for characterizing mass transfer in a commercial cellulosic membrane with oxygen, hydroquinone, ferrocyanide, and glucose as solutes.
