Design and Calculation of Effective Separation Area of Flat-Chamber Electrobaromembrane Equipment

Optimized Flat-Chamber Electrobaric Membrane System for the Processing of Industrial Solutions

“…The total membrane area (per unit volume of the system) is 13.6% greater than in the system proposed in [11]; and 8.1% less than in the system in [12]. The volume of industrial solution processed (per unit system volume) in the proposed equipment is 88.1% greater than in [11] and 17.3% greater than in [12].…”

“…Analysis of the literature does not reveal a wide range of systems for processing solutions, except in [11,12]. While such systems are described, little attention is paid to optimizing their design in terms of strengths.…”

“…This method is used to determine the effective working area in the proposed electromembrane system (for comparison with the systems in [11,12]) and to calculate the volume of solution processed in relation to the system volume (Table 1).…”

“…A deficiency of baric and electrobaric membrane systems is that end flanges of high strength and rigidity must be used at high transmembrane pressure. The design of membrane systems and their structural and strength characteristics were discussed in [11,12]. Since apertures in the flange plate for supply of the solution impair its strength and rigidity, we now develop a method for detailed strength calculation of The basic design of the flat-chamber electrobaric membrane system is shown in Fig.…”
