DEFINITION

Classification: 204/516

Barrier separation (e.g., using membrane, filter paper, etc.):

(under subclass 515) Process in which a barrier (e.g., membrane, filter paper, etc.) is used to separate some ions or particles from other ions or particles by allowing some ions or particles to pass through the barrier while the others are retained at or stopped from passing through the barrier.

(1) Note. This subclass and the subclass indented hereunder are not intended to provide for the mere use of a perforated electrode.
