Batch electrodialysis (ED) with continuous recirculation was carried out to remove CaCl2 from sugar solution at room temperature. Role of limiting process parameters e.g. (i) concentrate concentration, (ii) sugar mass% cum solution viscosity and (iii) ionic conductivity on electrolyte removal rate were investigated. Unsteady state mass balance defining ion transport through the ED cell with its initial and boundary conditions were solved with linearized Nernst- Planck equation. A new Sherwood number expression appropriate to the cell geometry and process parameters (physical properties and conductivity ratios) is developed as . . .

Electrolyte removal percentage can’t be correctly estimated from ED cell current instead model based estimates of the flux compone.. View More»
