A fundamental difference exists between the assumptions of the homogeneous and porous membrane models. For the homogeneous models, it is assumed that the membrane is nonporous, that is, transport takes place between the interstitial spaces of the polymer chains or polymer nodules, usually by diffusion. For the porous models, it is assumed that transport takes place through pores that mn the length of the membrane barrier layer. As a result, transport can occur by both diffusion and convection through the pores. Whereas both conceptual models have had some success in predicting RO separations, the question of whether an RO membrane is truly homogeneous, ie, has no pores, or is porous, is still a point of debate. No available technique can definitively answer this question. Two models, one nonporous and diffusion-based, the other pore-based, are discussed herein.

In a review of the subject, Ubbelohde [3] points out that there is only a relatively small amount of data available concerning the properties of solids and also of the (product) liquids in the immediate vicinity of the melting point. In an early theory of melting, Lindemann [4] considered that when the amplitude of the vibrational displacements of the atoms of a particular solid increased with temperature to the point of attainment of a particular fraction (possibly 10%) of the lattice spacing, their mutual influences resulted in a loss of stability. The Lennard-Jones—Devonshire [5] theory considers the energy requirement for interchange of lattice constituents between occupation of site and interstitial positions. Subsequent developments of both these models, and, indeed, the numerous contributions in the field, are discussed in Ubbelohde s book [3].

Here, two interstitials are in equilibrium. We can also write equations involving charge only, or vacancy plus ch2U ged species. However, we have not considered rates of diSusion in our model. In the BaSi04 case, the... 

Point defects in solids make it possible for ions to move through the structure. Ionic conductivity represents ion transport under the influence of an external electric field. The movement of ions through a lattice can be explained by two possible mechanisms. Figure 25.3 shows their schematic representation. The first, called the vacancy mechanism, represents an ion that hops or jumps from its normal position on the lattice to a neighboring equivalent but vacant site or the movement of a vacancy in the opposite direction. The second one is an interstitial mechanism where an interstitial ion jumps or hops to an adjacent equivalent site. These simple pictures of movement in an ionic lattice, known as the hopping model, ignore more complicated cooperative motions. 

In the alveolar-interstitial region, human lung clearance has been measured. The ICRP model uses two half-times to represent clearance about 30% of the particles have a 30-day half-time, and the remaining 70% are assigned a half-time of several hundred days. Over time, AI particle transport falls, and some compounds have been found in lungs 10-50 years after exposure.
