Abstract

A technique to test electrodialysis (ED) stacks designed to desalt dilute solutions is developed. The technique permits obtaining reproducible data on laboratory and medium-scale units useful for predicting mass transfer characteristics of large ED stacks. Quasi-steady state of desalination process is the main condition to obtain such data. This state can be attained by applying recycling hydraulic modes and special devices to maintain constant pH, or pH and concentration of the feed solution. To obtain data for scaling, it is necessary to apply a fixed voltage on the stack and to use a constant flow rate of the feed solution during the experiment, the feed solution concentration may vary with the time. Specifications of the stacks studied, rational hydraulic and electrical modes of testing are considered.
