Popis: Using the method of impedance spectroscopy we have investigated charge selectivity of macroporous inorganic membranes modified with nanoparticles of the inorganic ion exchanger—hydrated zirconium dioxide, which displays anion-exchange properties in an acid area. It has been found that transfer numbers of the SO42− reach 0.81–0.9 at the H2SO4 concentration 10 mol · m−3 and decrease as the acid concentration in solution goes down. It has also been found that modified membranes demonstrate a two-fold decrease of the diffusion coefficient of H2SO4 compared with a free solution. It has been shown that charge selectivity of the membrane improves as the amount of the ion exchanger in the matrix increases.
