DEFINITION

Classification: 204/520

Ion selective:

(under subclass 518) Process in which the barrier distinguishes between ions of different charges to effect separation.

(1) Note. Methods which distinguish between ions having different levels of positive or negative charge are included here as well as those distinguishing between positive and negative charges.

(2) Note. Use of permiselective membranes or ion exchange materials to effect separation is included in this group.
