• This paper is concerned with analysis of membrane transport processes on the basis of nonequilibrium thermodynamics. Inter-ionic correlations between permeating ions are quantitatively estimated by applying the membrane permeability matrix theory to the system in which the NaCl and CsCl solution phases are divided by a highly selective cation exchange membrane. The membrane permeability matrix of the system may be expressed by four ionic correlation terms concerning with Na+ and Cs+. The electroconductive and diffusional membrane permeabilities are expressed as a function of the matrix elements having the dimension of permeating speed of ions. The conductive and diffusional permeabilities as well as the matrix elements are estimated from membrane potential, conductance, and ionic flux data. The external electrolyte concentration dependence of these permeability parameters is discussed. The conductive and diffusional permeabilities considerably differ from each other and their ratio changes with the external electrolyte concentration, whereas the permeability ratio of Na+ to Cs+ is constant. Electroconductive and diffusional characteristics of membrane transport processes are consistently analyzed in terms of the memberane permeability matrix theory.
