Abstract
The article discusses the possibility of using electrodialysis for processing weak aluminate solutions for the purpose of causticization and obtaining strong alkaline solutions is being studied. A three-chamber electrodialysis cell of our own design is described. The cell uses heterogeneous cation exchange membranes MK-40; titanium alloy VT1-0 is used as the cathode and anode material. Electrodialysis was carried out at an interpolar distance of 3–5 cm and a current density of 0.5–3.0 A/dm2 to obtain cathodic (concentrated caustic alkali solution) and anodic (aluminum hydroxide and desalinated solution) products. The optimal operating parameters for the process of electrodialysis concentration of an aluminate solution were selected – the current density is about 2 A/dm2 with an the interpolar distance of 4 cm. It was determined that the soda content in the solution within an hour decreases from 55 to 25–30% at various operating parameters of the electrolylysis process. The degree of concentration of total alkali in the solution at the selected process parameters after an hour reaches 1.40–1.45.
