Kinetic Study of the Distribution of Electrically Neutral Ionophores between a Solvent Polymeric Membrane and an Aqueous PhaseThe kinetic behaviour of a series of ligands in the transfer from a solvent polymeric membrane into a stirred aqueous phase was investigated and compared with theoretical kinetic models. It was found that the transfer of ligands with low lipophilicity was controlled by the diffusion in the membrane phase, and that of ligands with high lipophilicity was controlled by the exchange reaction at the phase boundary and/or the diffusion through the unstirred Nernst diffusion layer. The diffusion coefficients in the membrane decrease drastically on increase of the content of the polymer in the membrane and are nearly independent of the size and lipophilicity of the ligand, whereas the overall transfer coefficient through the boudary region does not depend on the polymer content but decreases with increasing lipophilicity of the ionophore.
