A colloidal sol (e.g., ferric hydroxide sol) is often contaminated with an electrolyte like left over from its preparation. In ordinary dialysis, this small ionic impurity diffuses out through the membrane down its concentration gradient; electrodialysis accelerates this by using an applied potential to actively pull the and ions toward the cathode/anode respectively. Urea (a), glucose (c), and sugar (d) are neutral, non-ionic molecules — they diffuse out …
