AN INTEGRAL, MONOLITHIC FRAME -MEMBRANE IS DISCLOSED, SUCH FRAME-MEMBRANCE HAVING A SEMI-PERMEABLE MEMBRANE PORTION AND INTEGRAL THEREWITH A FRAME PORTION, THE FRAME HAVING ONE OR MORE CAVITIES, EACH CAVITY JUXTAPOSED TO THE MEMBRANE PORTION, EACH CAVITY HAVING AT LEAST ONE FLUID ENTRANCE CONDUIT COMMUNICATING WITH AN ENTRANCE MANIFOLD APERTURE AND AT LEAST ONE FLUID EXIT MANIFOLD APERTURE. THE INTEGRAL, MONOLITHIC FRAME-MEMBRANE MAY BE USED IN APPARATUS FOR CARRYING OUT GAS-SEPARATION; MICROFILTRATION; ULTRAFILTRATION; NANOFILTRATION; REVERSE OSMOSIS (i.e. HYPERFILTRATION); DIFFUSION DIALYSIS; DONNAN DIALYSIS; ELECTRODIALYSIS (INCLUDING FILLED-CELL ELECTRODIALYSIS; i.e. ELECTRODEIONIZATION); PERVAPORATION; PIEZODIALYSIS; MEMBRANE DISTILLATION; OSMOSIS; THERMO OSMOSIS; AND ELECTROLYSIS WITH MEMBRANES. ALSO DISCLOSED ARE PILLOWS PREPARED FROM ION EXCHANGING FILMS OR FABRICS (WHICH MAY BE POROUS OR NON-POROUS), THE PILLOWS FILLED WITH ION EXCHANGE STRUCTURES SUCH AS BEADS, FIBERS, FABRICS OR RODS. THE PILLOWS MAY BE USED WITH THE INTEGRAL, MONOLITHIC FRAME-MEMBRANES, WITH SEPARATE FRAMES AND MEMBRANES OR WITH FRAMES ONLY.
