Abstract: Transport phenomena of charged membranes based on the charge models (including the space charge model and the fixed charge model) are cataloged into the three kinds, that is,separation performance,electro-kinetic properties and transport characteristics with respect to the charge effect.Generally,separation performance is expressed by the rejections and permeation fluxes,electro-kinetic properties are specified by the membrane potential and streaming potential, while transport characteristics are summed up by six independent parameters (or coefficients): pure water permeability,reflection coefficient,electro-osmostic coefficient,solute permeability coefficient,electrical conductance and electrical transport number.In this article, the above-mentioned transport phenomena of charged membranes based on the charged models are reviewed in detail.The respective advantages of the space charged model and the fixed charge model applied to charged membranes are described, and the development trend is presented.
