Abstract
Electrochemical ion exchange (EIX) is a recently developed electrical process for removing ions from solution by adsorbing them on to an ion exchange membrane. These ions can be subsequently eluted from the ion exchange material by polarity reversal. A model of the process has be en developed and tested against experimental results. The model gives predictions close to the measured data over a range of operating condi tions for different values of pH, ion concentration, flow and current density.
