The electrosurface characteristics of nanoporous glass membranes–ion concentrations in pores with taking into account the specificity of counterions, electrokinetically mobile charge, the convective component of pore solution electrical conductivity, electroosmotic mobility of a liquid in the field of streaming potential and ion mobilities in pore space–were calculated within the homogeneous model. The effects of the type of counterion (sodium, potassium, ammonium, tetramethylammonium, and tetraethylammonium ions), solution concentration, glass composition, and pore size on the equilibrium and transport characteristics of membrane systems have been analyzed. A method for the determining of electrolyte activity coefficients in the membranes has been proposed.
