Does the electrical conductivity of oil affect electrodialysis?
Thread Content
We plan to desalt medium- and low-temperature coal tar, but it contains a high amount of phenolic compounds and has certain electrical conductivity; is the electrodesalination method suitable for this purpose?
The high conductivity of the crude oil is unfavorable for desalination. An appropriate proportion of other solvent oils or light hydrocarbons can be added to reduce the conductivity of the raw material; after desalination, the solvent oils can be separated through distillation and reused, which may yield better results. The operating cost will increase a bit.
