Abstract: Regenerated cellulose membranes with mean pore diameter 2rf from 30 to 1000Å wereprepared from cellulose cuoxam solution in company with a microphase separation and after-treatment techniques.The rf values of the membranes were measured by flow rate me-thod and the rejection Re on the membranes was measured on standard polystyrene samplesin toluene.The value of 2rf was found in relatian with molecular weight Mw and rootmean square end distance < H2 > 1/2 of the rejected polystyrene in following equations:lg 2rf = lg0.155 + 0.59 lgMw and lg2rf = lg 0.589 + 0.96 lg < h2 > 1/2.

Key words: regenerated cellulose membrane, pore diameter, rejection, polystyrene
