Moulding composition in the form of particles of a) at least one polyheteroaromatic compound or an aniline in the oxidised, polycationic form, especially polypyrrole, and b) at least one polyanion of a thermoplastic polymer having sulfated alcohol groups ##STR1## in recurring structural units. Mouldings obtained from the moulding compositions have a high electrical conductivity and good mechanical strength properties. The mouldings can be used as electrodes, electrically conductive fibers or components for electromagnetic screening. The pulverulent moulding compounds are also suitable as electrically conductive fillers for plastics.

Salts of organic carboxylic acids can be separated from non-salt organic compounds using a semipermeable membrane consisting of a perfluorosulfonic acid polymer or a salt of such a polymer, by bringing a solution of the salts and the organic compounds in a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkanol into contact with one side of the membrane and having the pure solvent on the opposite side of the membrane. The process can be used, for example, in purification processes or for recovering reactants from reaction residues.
