Figure 1.
Apparatus to measure ClO2 transport through gelatine or pig bladder membranes.
The two glass parts of the apparatus are held together by a pair of extension clamps (not shown in the Figure) which are fixed to a support stand by clamp holders. The active cross-section of the membranes is 28 cm2. See text for the working principle.
Figure 2.
Permeation of ClO2 through a gelatin membrane as a function of time t.
Each point in the diagram represents a „black burst” (see Methods). V is the cumulative volume of the 0.01 M Na2S2O3 titrant added before the burst and N is the amount of ClO2 permeated until time t. TL1 = 627 s and TL2 = 175 s are time lags of the first and the second experiments, respectively. The concentration of ClO2 source in the magnetically stirred aqueous solution was 1360 ppm (mg/kg) or 20.1 mM.
Figure 3.
Permeation of ClO2 through a pig bladder membrane as a function of time t.
V and N have the same meaning like in Figure 2. TL1 = 2770 s, TL2 = 586 s and TL3 = 226 s are time lags of the experiments performed on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd day, respectively. The concentration of the ClO2 source was 946 ppm (14.0 mM) in these experiments.
