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.
