Abstract
A one-dimensional problem of mass transfer during electroseparation in an electric filter has been formulated taking into account its design features. The ultimate objective of this study is the determination of the concentration at the outlet of the electric filter as a function of time, which is the characteristic used in the practical operation of electric filters and in experimental research. To that end, we have divided the space of the electric filter into two zones: an emitter (purification) zone and a collector zone. The problem is solved through averaging over the entire volume of the electric filter and the specified zones. Finally, the problem reduces to the approximation of the concentration and its coordinate derivative in the boundary plane that separates the emitter and collector zones. In addition, the concentration is approximated via introducing an averaging parameter, and its derivative is approximated on the basis of the boundary layer concept. Owing to solving the derived differential equation, we represent partial solutions that are consistent with the experimental data.
