electro-osmosis

Electro-osmosis is the movement of a liquid through a porous material or biological membrane when influenced by an electric field. This phenomenon is distinct from electrophoresis, which involves the movement of electrically charged particles within a fluid under an electric field. While osmosis is the natural diffusion of solvents through a semipermeable membrane, electro-osmosis is driven by electrical forces. This process has applications in various fields, including analytical chemistry and the chemical industry, where electrochemical processes are increasingly used to replace polluting chemical methods.12345
