Abstract

The article formulates a mathematical model of non-stationary transfer of 1:1 electrolyte in potentiodynamic mode, taking into account electroconvection and non-catalytic reaction of dissociation/recombination of water molecules in membrane systems, which are considered the channel of desalting of the electrodialysis apparatus. Using this model, the main regularities of the space charge distribution are theoretically established, the influence of the input parameters is determined: initial concentration, potential sweep rate, etc. It is shown that the desalination channel consists of narrow quasi-equilibrium regions of space charge adjacent to ion-exchange membranes; an electric double layer appears in the central part, caused by the recombination reaction. Regions of electroneutrality are located between this double electric layer and the near-membrane space charge regions. This study will further be used to analyze the combined effect of the noncatalytic reaction of dissociation of water molecules and recombination and electroconvection on the current-voltage characteristic of the desalting channel.
