After solving the above equations we can found out the following relation

[( ) ]
We can see that there is linear relationship that exists between and [ ] .
Now the flux with which the metal ion mass transfer occurs is given by
= = .
Here in this equation Vf volume of liquid phase in feed, A is the effective area of
the membrane exposed surface and cf is the concentration of the migrated
substance into liquid feed. On further solving the above equation

ln = .

Here in the given relation the cf(t) and cf(0) are the concentrations of metal ions
in liquid phase feed at time t=t and initial time respectively. We can clearly see
( )
that ln would be a straight line.
