The ability of living organisms to differentiate between the chemically similar sodium and potassium ions must depend upon some difference between these two ions in aqueous solution. Essentially, this difference is one of size of the hydrated ions, which in turn means a difference in the force of electrostatic (coulombic) attraction between the hydrated cation and a negatively-charged site in the cell membrane thus a site may be able to accept the smaller ion Na (aq) and reject the larger K (aq). This same mechanism of selectivity operates in other ion-selection processes, notably in ion-exchange resins. 

The porous electrodes in PEFCs are bonded to the surface of the ion-exchange membranes which are 0.12- to 0.25-mm thick by pressure and at a temperature usually between the glass-transition temperature and the thermal degradation temperature of the membrane. These conditions provide the necessary environment to produce an intimate contact between the electrocatalyst and the membrane surface. The early PEFCs contained Nafton membranes and about 4 mg/cm of Pt black in both the cathode and anode. Such electrode/membrane combinations, using the appropriate current coUectors and supporting stmcture in PEFCs and water electrolysis ceUs, are capable of operating at pressures up to 20.7 MPa (3000 psi), differential pressures up to 3.5 MPa (500 psi), and current densities of 2000 m A/cm. ... 

The free oil can be determined by an ion exchange HPLC technique. A solution of the sample in ethyl alcohol is analysed by high-performance ion exchange chromatography using a specially prepared ion exchange resin stationary phase, ethanol mobile phase, and differential refractive index detection. 

An iterative procedure using the solid film linear driving force model has been used with a steric mass action isotherm to model displacement chromatography on ion exchange materials and the procedure applied to the separation of horse and bovine cytochrome c using neomycin sulfate as the displacer.4 The solid film linear driving force model is a set of two differential equations imposing mass transfer limitations. 

Differential ionic chromatography. In a potentiometric method for recording ion-exchange elution curves, a dual-channel membrane cell is used as a differential detector186 for following the eluate composition in comparison with the eluent. In the chromatography of alkali metal ions over a... 

Mercury was determined after suitable digestion by the cold vapour atomic absorption method [40]. Lead was determined after digestion by a stable isotope dilution technique [41-43]. Copper, lead, cadmium, nickel, and cobalt were determined by differential pulse polarography following concentration by Chelex 100 ion-exchange resin [44,45], and also by the Freon TF extraction technique [46]. Manganese was determined by flameless atomic absorption spectrometry (FAA). 

Differential hydration of proteins has been little exploited as a selectivity factor in ion exchange, but it is simple to evaluate and can produce useful results. This technique relies on the preferential exclusion of certain solutes from protein surfaces to produce an exclusionary effect and favor their interaction with the column. Protein hydration is generally proportional to protein size and solubility. Among proteins of similar size, this predicts that retention will increase with protein solubility. Among proteins of similar solubility, retention increases with protein size.16...
