Transport of Sulfuric-Acid Through Anion-Exchange Membrane Neosepta-Afn
This paper deals with the determination of the membrane mass transfer coefficient for sulfuric acid in an anion-exchange membrane NEOSEPTA-AFN. This quantity has been determined on the basis of experiments carried out in a batch dialysis cell using the method of numerical integration of the basic differential equation describing the time dependence of sulfuric acid concentration and subsequent optimization procedure. The experiments carried out made it possible to calculate the membrane mass transfer coefficient for sulfuric acid over the concentration range from 0.1 to 1.9 kmol m(-3) in the external solution.
