Abstract
Two liquid membranes are developed for moving chloride ions from low to higher concentration. The membranes use alkylammonium cations as mobile carriers which react with the diffusing anions. The size of the chloride flux is an elaborate but predictable function of chloride concentration. The energy for this flux comes from a simultaneous flux of hydroxide ions.
