A New Theoretical Approach To Electroosmotic Dewatering (Eod) Based On Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics#x2606;

摘要

A novel theoretical approach to electroosmotic dewatering (EOD), with or without a pressure gradient, of clays, sludges and other colloidal suspensions is proposed. The treatment is based on nan-equilibrium thermodynamics as developed in the work of Overbeek, De Groot and others. The interpretation of electrokinetic phenomena in terms of the cancepts of irreversible thermodynamics when combined with Onsager's relations, it has been shown by Overbeek, provides a complete framework for understanding all electrokinetic phenomena.
