Influence of current density and concentration difference between solutions on mass transfer in reverse electro-dialysis stack
Taking the NaCl aqueous solution as the working fluid
the mass transfer characteristic of which in a reverse electro-dialysis (RED) stack have been tested under the conditions of changing the current density and concentration difference between solutions through the RED stack. The RED stack used in the experiments was composed of 5 unit membrane cells with Selemion type of ion exchange membranes (IEMs). The results showed that the selectivity coefficient (a)
solvent permeability ratio (vw)
solute ion transport flux (JNaCl) and co-ion diffusion rate (DNaCl) of IEMs were affected by stack current density and solution concentration. When the concentration difference increases
the a reduces
but the vw
JNaCl and DNaCl increase. With the increase of the electric current density exported by the RED stack
