Abstract
The redox sorption of molecular oxygen from a flow of deionized water onto a cathode-polarized granular layer of nanocomposite copper-ion exchanger is considered. A mathematical description of it in terms of external diffusion is given. In contrast to better-known approaches, conditions are created that are as close as possible to the limiting diffusion current; this effect can be achieved by dividing the granular layer into shallow layers, each of which is then polarized with a near-limiting current. This allows water to be obtained with a particular value of deoxygenation close to the theoretically calculated value in stationary sorption membrane electrolyzers equipped with a unit containing a nanocomposite copper-ion exchanger. It is established that the lower deoxygenation value relative to the one calculated from the limiting current is associated with the additional reduction of oxygen with copper nanoparticles.
