How is the cathode level balance in an ion-exchange membrane cell calculated? Including some of the water vapor carried away by hydrogen.
Thread Content
By calculating the amount of water added to the cathode of the electrolytic cell and ignoring side reactions, the water supplied to the cathode consists of: 1. externally added pure water； 2. Water in the sodium ion migration zone; the water from the cathode outlet includes: 1. Water from the cathodic electrolysis section ； 2. Water carried away by the finished alkaline strip ； 3. Water vapor carried away by hydrogen gas. Upon calculation, the amount of water discharged was far greater than the amount of water taken in. I’m seeking expert guidance on a detailed explanation of the algorithm, and also to find out if I’ve overlooked any incoming flow stream
The water in the sodium ion migration zone is roughly 1 band to 4
The calculation for the method of sodium ions carrying water was incorrect; it has been recalculated, and both the cathode and anode sides are now correct.
