Abstract

Reverse electrodialysis (RED) technology is one of the promising directions of alternative energy based on electrochemical transformations. In this study, an industrial experiment on the utilization of highly mineralized alkaline liquid waste from a chemical desalination water treatment plant by RED technology is performed on an experimental pilot electromembrane unit at an operating TPP. The RED process with ion-selective cation- and anion-exchange membranes proceeds in the diffusion dialysis mode under the action of the concentration gradient of ionic current carriers. As a result, the specific power of the unit per unit area of the membrane pair of 0.36 W/m2 is recorded. The rate of diffusion dialysis transport of the electrolyte substance is 0.3–0.6 kg/h on average per an apparatus. The efficiency of the RED process with respect to the energy generation is 47%, the theoretical electromotive force is 0.12 V per chamber, and the potential energy storage (specific generated energy) is 1.8 kWh/m3 of highly mineralized liquid waste at f = 1/2.
