Fundamentals of Dialysis
Dialysis is a simple process in which small solutes diffuse from a high concentration solution to a low concentration
solution across a semipermeable membrane until equilibrium is reached. Since the porous membrane selectively
allows smaller solutes to pass while retaining larger species, dialysis can effectively be used as a separation
process based on size rejection. The conditions of dialysis can be controlled or manipulated to produce desired
results for a variety of dialysis applications. The application depicts which Molecular Weight Cut Off (MWCO)
yields the preferred molecular separation.
