    This study presents a molecular-level theory for how solute concentration affects the osmotic reflection coefficient, considering solute interactions. The findings suggest this concentration effect is independent of pore geometry.

    Area of Science:

    • Physical Chemistry
    • Colloid and Surface Science
    • Biophysics

    Background:

    • The osmotic reflection coefficient is crucial for understanding membrane transport.
    • Existing theories often simplify solute-solute interactions and their impact on concentration within pores.
    • Molecular-level understanding of concentration effects on transport properties is limited.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a first-order theory for the effect of concentration on the osmotic reflection coefficient at the molecular level.
    • To incorporate solute-solute interactions and their influence on local concentration and fluid stress within a pore.
    • To investigate the geometry dependence of the concentration effect on the osmotic reflection coefficient.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a molecular-level theory for osmotic reflection coefficient.

  • Modeled the solvent as a continuous fluid.
  • Considered pairwise additive potential energies between solute molecules and the pore wall.
  • Calculations focused on excluded volume effects (hard-sphere solute, hard-wall pore).

    • Main Results:

    • A first-order theory for concentration effects on the osmotic reflection coefficient was established.
    • The theory accounts for solute-solute interactions and fluid stress tensor within a pore.
    • The relationship between the first-order concentration effect and the infinite dilution reflection coefficient appears geometry-independent.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed theory provides a molecular basis for understanding concentration effects on osmotic reflection coefficients.
    • The geometry independence of the concentration effect is a significant finding.
    • The theory offers a framework for interpreting experimental studies on osmotic flow.
