The present work describes the chemical synthesis of poly-N,N-diallyl pyrrolidinium bromide and polyN,N-diallyl morpholinium bromide - high-molecular compounds containing quaternary nitrogen atoms, which included in two five- and/or six-membered heterocyclic rings. These polymers are perspective modifiers for industrially produced anion-exchange membranes, the use of which should significantly improve the resistance to degradation of the membranes at over-limiting current regimes. The structure of obtained polymers was characterized by FTIR, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The optimal reaction conditions, which increase the yield of desired products, were defined. It is shown that is preferable to use 1-butanol as a solvent and benzoyl peroxide as an initiator

Theoretically and experimentally, we investigated the process of adjusting the pH of natural water of hydrocarbonate class electrodialyzer with bipolar membranes with channel length of 40 cm. We experimentally measured concentration of components, pH of the solutions in alkaline and acid channels of electrodeposition depending on the current density. The article describes a mathematical model for long channels; to scale the mass transfer characteristics of the process there was applied and verified a method of compartmentalization, which gave the possibility to calculate the dependence of the component along the channel length at different velocities of flow of the solution. Numerical calculations were compared with experimental data on electrodialyser of 10 cm and 40 cm length

The article presents a mathematical model of the ion transport across phase boundary exchange membrane / solution. The border is considered as an object in space, endowed with all the physical and chemical properties that are inherent physical and chemical phases. It is regarded as a special physical and chemical environment, having a distributed exchange capacity in which there is space charge dissociation of water molecules. The size of this object is estimated in the range of 1-300 nm. The surface morphology of industrial membrane type MK-40, ÐœA-41 and ÐœA-41P was investigated experimentally by scanning electron microscopy (REM). There was analyzed the amplitude of average surface roughness. In this article, the reaction layer is modeled as a region that forms as a relief morphology of the membrane. Membrane properties are due to the properties of the solution and the properties of the membrane. To determine the dependence of Q(x) is proposed procedure for assessing the proportion of solid phase in the total volume of which can be seen in the vertical cross section microprofile on the membrane surface line. Height multivendors determine the reaction layer zone on frame of model. Influence of surface morphology on the V-A characteristics and the sizes of the convective instability of cation-exchange membrane evaluated numerically simulating the hydrodynamic flow conditions using a solution of the Navier-Stokes equations. The transfer of a strong electrolyte such as NaCl ions through the thin layer of the reaction layer is considered. The place of nanomodel in the structure of a three-layer membrane system is showed. The distribution of the concentration of ions in the system, the charge density distribution and the dependence of the integrate charge with extent nanolayer is present. How to change the shape of the space charge and its integral value with one is investigated

This article continues the works [1,2], devoted to the theoretical study of the basic laws of electroconvection caused by natural or artificial inhomogeneous conductivity of ion-exchange membranes in a smooth rectangular channel electrodialysis desalination unit. For this purpose, a mathematical model was created for a binary electrolyte electroconvection at overlimiting current modes in the form of a boundary value problem for a coupled system of the Nernst-Planck-Poisson and Navier-Stokes equations. We have studied the influence of heterogeneity on the ion-exchange membranes and ion transport electroconvection salt, calculated currentvoltage characteristic. The possibility of intensification of mass transfer due to the surface modification of ion exchange membranes was also shown

The current-voltage characteristics and the number of effective ion transfer, as well as the frequency spectrum of the electrochemical impedance of multilayer ion-exchange membranes in a stable and controllable thickness of the diffusion layer were measured, using the of rotating membrane disk complex. The article presents a comparative analysis of the frequency spectra of the electrochemical impedance of the source and a surface-modified monopolar anion exchange membranes in 0.01 M sodium chloride was made. The process of water molecules dissociation at current densities above the limiting one in 0.01 M sodium chloride solution was studied in detail

This work is a continuation of [1], which was devoted to the investigation of the hydrodynamics of the experimental electrochemical cell with rotating disk cation exchange membrane. This article focuses on the transport of salt ions in a closed cell at different initial experimentation with modes of exact current regimes. The main regularities of transport of salt ions and membrane equal accessible surface were set

This article investigates hydrodynamic of experimental electrochemical cell with rotating disk in the cation exchange membrane. We have also investigated the flow in open, with the free surface of the solution and in hermetically closed cells. The main regularities of the hydrodynamics of the experimental cell at its real size were set

In the article the mathematical model of the space charge region in the bipolar membrane is considered. The structure of the space charge region under passing of electric current, and without electric current is discussed. The results of experimental studies of water dissociation in the bipolar membrane in the presence of chromium(III) are discussed

The results of study of bipolar membrane – analogue of MB-2, modified with chemically introduced chromium (III), iron (III) and nickel (II) hydroxides by the method of frequency spectrum of electrochemical impedance, by infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy in combination with X-ray spectrum analysis are presented. It is shown, that sequential treatment of cation-exchanger, contained in cationexchange membrane, with metal salt solution and alkali solution does not result in formation of complex compounds of these metals with ionic groups of ion exchanger. It was found that in these conditions the presence of heavy metals in the phase of cationexchanger confirmed by X-ray analysis, however, crystals of hydroxides of heavy metals are not detected in the size range of 1000 nm to 20 nm. These heavy metal compounds are thermally unstable and their catalytic activity in the reaction of dissociation of water molecules decreases with increasing temperature during heat treatment. The introduction of low-soluble hydroxides of d-metals (chromium (III), iron (III), nickel(II)) by chemical method can significantly improve the electrochemical characteristics of a bipolar membrane. The most effective catalysts in water dissociation reaction are the hydroxides of chromium (III) and iron (III) and, as a consequence, membranes with these hydroxides have a lower value of overpotential compared with original membrane at the same current density

The article discusses results of experimental research of the influence of aprotic and proton solvents on reaction rate of water molecules dissociation in the bipolar membrane MB-1 by the method of electrochemical impedance frequency spectrum. It was discovered, that addition of organic component in aqueous solutions results in significant influence on the parameters of water dissociation in a bipolar region of the membrane. The reason for this influence is the reduction of the mass fraction of water in solution and, consequently, in a bipolar region of the membrane, which itself reduces the rate of the dissociation reaction. Another reason for the influence of the organic solvent is its effect on the network of hydrogen bonds existing in water and aqueous solutions. Depending on the nature of organic solvent and its concentration, the network of hydrogen bonds may be strengthened, or destroyed, thus facilitating removal of the proton involved in the reactions between water molecules and catalytic centers in cation-exchange and anion-exchange layer of bipolar membrane, or retarding removal of proton. This leads respectively to speed up or slow down the rate of dissociation in the bipolar region of the membrane, as well as changing the constants of the dissociation reaction of water. Introduction of organic solvent in solutions, which are in the contact with bipolar membrane, is a convenient method of investigating the role of solution composition on the rate of proton transfer between water molecules and catalytic centers in the membranes
