| Abstract | The relative conductance at room temperature of a solution in kaolin membranes was studied as a function of the volume fraction of the membrane. The resistances of the membrane and of the solution were measured for various volume fractions, and the conductance of the membrane relative to the solution was calculated. The relative conductance was linear with solid volume fraction over a range of volume fractions from 0.422 to 0.776. The equation was K[subscript m] = 1.337 - 1.673f where K[subscript m] is the ratio of the conductance of the membrane to the conductance of the solution, and f is the volume fraction of the membrane. At volume fractions less than 0.5, the relative conductance was definitely greater than would be expected from an inert membrane. The enhancernent of conductance was attributed to surface conduction along the pores of the membrane. |
