Mathematical Modeling of Operation of a Reactor with Flow-Through Three-Dimensional Electrodes at the Limiting Diffusion Current under Non-Steady-State Conditions

Abstract

The results of mathematical modeling of metal electrodeposition in reactors with three-dimensional flow-through electrodes in a limiting diffusion current mode taking into account the nonsteady-state state of electrode and electrolysis were presented. An algorithm was developed for calculating the overall density of the current that passes through the electrode, which supports the electrode work in the limiting diffusion current mode throughout the metal electrodeposition process. A numerical study was performed to investigate the changes in the main characteristics of the process and electrode with time for the model electrochemical system.
