Title:
電気浸透流システム
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2005528196
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
Electroosmotic flow systems containing two or more electroosmotic flow (EOF) elements (1,2) which meet at a junction (9), at least one of the electroosmotic flow elements having a substantial charge ratio. The electroosmotic flow elements have matching flux ratios. The electroosmotic flow elements may contain porous materials (14,24) whose terminal portions (12,21,22) are shaped to increase the surface area exposed to the fluid (4) at the junction.
The charge ratio on an EOF element is the weighted-volume equivalent concentration of surface charge divided by the ionic strength concentration of the bulk liquid. It is a measure of the extent to which the EOF element contain surfaces having a net charge. Flux ratio is the ionized species solute displacement flux per unit current flux through an EOF element. The flux ratio for any individual EOF element can be obtained by appropriate calculation and observation.
