Study Notes
Dialysis
- Colloidal particles are too large to pass through membranes like collodion or cellophane, but smaller molecules can.
- Dialysis separates micromolecular impurities from colloidal dispersions based on diffusibility.
- Stirring is necessary to maintain a high concentration gradient across the membrane, which hastens the process.
Ultrafiltration
- Uses pressure or suction to force solvent and small particles across a membrane while retaining larger colloidal particles.
- Membrane filters with known pore sizes can determine colloid particle sizes.
- Membrane permeability is influenced by factors like electrical repulsion and particle adsorption, affecting the correlation between particle and pore sizes.
Electrodialysis
- Applies an electric potential to accelerate the movement of ionic impurities through a dialyzing membrane.
- Enhances purification speed, termed electrodecantation, by concentrating charged colloidal particles on one side of the membrane.
