Water transport in bi-ionic systems: theoretical treatment and effect on the bi-ionic potential

Abstract

In a previous paper, we have proposed a new experimental method for measuring the water flow and the convection velocity, vM, in the case of a bi-ionic system. In the present paper, we propose analytical and numerical treatments to evaluate the contribution (ΔBIP) of the measured convection velocities to the bi-ionic potential values. These theoretical treatments are based on the pseudo-thermodynamic equation and show a linear relationship between ΔBIP and vM. The ΔBIP values were less than 0.8 mV for concentrations less than 2.0 M. This represents about 4–6% of the experimental bi-ionic potential values obtained with a high selective ion exchange membrane (CM2). The convection velocity vM and its contribution to the BIP values are theoretically more important for less selective membranes. Transport d'eau dans les systèmes bi-ioniques: traitement the′orique et effet sur le potentiel bi-ionique. Dans un article pre′ce′dent, nous avons propose′ une me′thode expe′rimentale pour mesurer le flux d'eau et la vitesse de convection vM dans le cas d'un système bi-ionique. Dans le pre′sent article, nous proposons des traitements analytiques et nume′riques pour e′valuer la contribution, ΔBIP, des vitesses de convection mesure′es sur les valeurs du potentiel bi-ionique. Ces traitements the′oriques sont base′s sur l'e′quation pseudo-thermodynamique et montrent une relation line′aire entre ΔBIP et vM. Les valeurs de ΔBIP sont en dessous de 0.8 mV pour des concentrations infe′rieures à 2.0 M. Ceci repre′sente environ 4–6% des valeurs expe′rimentales du potentiel bi-ionique obtenues avec une membrane e′changeuse d'ions très se′lective (CM2). La vitesse de convection vM et ses contributions aux valeurs du BIP sont the′oriquement plus importantes pour des membranes moins se′lectives.
