Reverse-Osmosis of Multicomponent Electrolyte-Solutions .2. Experimental-Verification
A variety of single salt experiments were performed over a wide range of concentration and pH using NaCl and CaCl2, to test the model developed in Part I. The model was shown to be effective in producing the same type of separation behaviors as was experimentally observed. Using the parameters obtained from single salt experiments, separations of mixtures of NaCl and CaCl2 were predicted and experimentally confirmed. Agreement between the predictions and experimental data was quite good, and confirms that the model is useful far prediction of multicomponent separations using data from single salt experiments.
