The experimental data indicated that the Nafion membrane showed the typical anomalous osmotic behavior of charged membranes. The influence of some relevant parameters, such as electrolyte concentration difference, weight fraction of methanol on solution, and nature of cation was considered. The results showed that the osmotic volume flow was decreased with the presence of methanol on solvent, but did not alter the anomalous osmotic behavior of the membrane.<br />Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología<br />Depto. de Estructura de la Materia, Física Térmica y Electrónica<br />Fac. de Ciencias Físicas<br />TRUE<br />pub
