The concentration polarization demo is important.
fouling. You should know why you sometimes use hydrophillic membranes and sometimes
hydrophobic membranes,
membrane configurations. You should know when to use hollow fibers and when to use
spiral modules.
making and testing membranes.
electrodialysis. Be prepared to explain why ions can either pass or be rejected.
