Abstract

Evaluation of the transport properties of copper ions through a heterogeneous ion-exchange membrane in etidronic acid solutions by chronopotentiometry, Journal of Membrane Science, http://dx. ABSTRACTThe transport properties of copper chelates across an anion-exchange membrane were investigated by means of chronopotentiometry. Several solutions containing etidronic acid, copper sulfate and potassium chloride were evaluated. Tests were accomplished in a three-compartment reactor using a heterogeneous membrane containing quaternary ammonium functional groups. Results showed a strong relation between the amount of chelated anions and the limiting current density, the electrical resistance and the concentration polarization. An increase in the anionic equivalent charge of the solutions modified the three regions of the current-voltage curves. The acid medium was found to be less favorable because of the possibility of the formation of non-charged species in overlimiting regions. The presence of chloride anions increased the limiting current density, especially when the chloride concentration exceeded the etidronic acid concentration.

Electrodialysis Applications in Wastewater Treatment for Environmental Protection and Resources Recovery: A Systematic Review on Progress and Perspectives

“…Several studies have focussed on transport phenomena by assessing IEMs properties, pH effect, complexes formation and ions competition, and by developing modified or novel IEMs. Among them, experiments with aqueous solutions of Ni [ 153 , 154 , 155 , 156 , 157 ], Cu [ 158 , 159 , 160 , 161 , 162 ], Zn [ 157 , 163 , 164 ], Cr [ 154 , 156 , 165 , 166 , 167 , 168 , 169 , 170 ], Fe [ 154 , 156 ] and Pb [ 155 , 157 ] have been conducted, as well as with mixtures (e.g., Ni, Cu and Pb, or Cu and Zn) [ 171 , 172 ], thus providing important insights on basic phenomena and ED processes. Another crucial aspect is the identification of optimal operative conditions.…”

Water reclamation and chemicals recovery from a novel cyanide-free copper plating bath using electrodialysis membrane process

“…The electrochemical properties of the anion-exchange membrane were evaluated by means of chronopotentiometric measurements after electrodialysis tests. The membrane reactor used in this study was well defined in a previous work [15]. Nevertheless, a schematic drawing of the reactor is presented in Fig.…”

Assessment of a Thermally Modified Cellulose Acetate Forward‐Osmosis Membrane Using Response Surface Methodology

“…In spite of technological developments, coupling with energy recovery equipment, and development of hybrid processes, the energy consumption in RO and MSF declined slightly since a few decades, but still have relatively high carbon footprints . Accordingly, numerous studies have been performed for developing new energy efficient methods .…”
