INVESTIGATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF AN ELECTROLYTIC SYSTEM FOR THE CONVERSION OF SALINE AND BRACKISH WATERS

摘要

Two kinds of materials possessing both ion exchange activity and electronic conductivity were prepared. Electrolytic regeneration of these materials was less economical than electrolytic regeneration of a conventional resin. Chemical regeneration of the conventional resin was the most effective and economical.nA so-called membrane type "mixed bed" was constructed and was shown to be capable of desalting sodium chloride solutions in the brackish water concentration range. Energy consumption per unit volume of water treated was considerably higher than for desalting with conventional multiple membrane electrodialysis units.
