• The membrane phenomena in an amphoteric membrane-single-electrolyte or mixed-electrolyte solution systems were examined. The mobilities of the ions within the membrane were evaluated from the relation between the transport number and membrane conductance after determination of the ionic concentration within the membrane. In the single-electrolyte system, the mobilities depending on the ionic charges were observed. The facts supported that ion-transport phenomena were mainly controlled by the electrostatic interaction between the ion-exchange sites and the ions within the membrane. On the other hand, the cation with the smaller valence was always excluded out of the membrane in the mixed-electrolyte system. When comparing the ratios of mobilities in the single-electrolyte system with those in the mixed-electrolyte system, large differences between them could be observed. It is conjectured that one of the reasons may be the difference in the Donnan adsorption salt concentration within the membrane.
