Mathematical model of the process of water softening using ion exchange pre-treatment of waters to desalination, with a view to removal of scale forming components, such as calcium and magnesium, are formed in the paper. In this process, no additional chemicals, except for brines formed during desalination, are required for regeneration of ion-exchanger in operation cycles. An asymptotic approximation of a solution of a corresponding model problem is constructed. Theoretical description and modelling assumptions included the set of differential equations of mass balance, initial, boundary and operational conditions. The paper deals with the development of a computer model for description and prediction of the performance of ion exchange columns.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
