Electrodialytic element - for desalination or power generation using dissociable metal salt solns.

摘要

A system of electrodialysis for use in the desalination of seawater, the generation of electrical power from brine of different concn., or the storage of electrical energy uses in the electrode chambers solns. of substances which can dissociate into ions and can be reduced or oxidised as the ions change their charge, without passing into the gaseous phase. The pref. dissociable substances metallic salts or metallic complexes. This eliminates the release of chlorine and hydrogen gas and the shortening of the life of the electrodes and membranes by the attack from aggressive gases. The complicated means for the disposal of the gases are saved.
