Ion Exchange Modeling on Mixed Catonite H+, Na+ in Waterproof Processes
摘要
A mathematical model of multicomponent ion exchange on mixed cationite (H+, Na+) in cartridges produced by the Russian company AquaBrite is developed. The purpose of this process is to maintain the total and carbonate hardness, as well as the pH value of water within the norms of its use in various systems. The model uses the author’s method of describing the matrix of multicomponent diffusion coefficients for ion exchange in the aqueous phase. To calculate the matrix of multicomponent diffusion coefficients, data on the Einstein diffusion coefficients, which are determined through the ionic conductivities of the corresponding ions, are used. The mass-transfer coefficients are determined using known criterion equations in matrix form. The relationships of the diagonal and non-diagonal elements of the matrix of mass-transfer coefficients are analyzed. The possibility to neglect non-diagonal elements under certain conditions is shown. The solution of the system of equations of the mathematical model is the nonstationary profiles of the concentrations of Ca2+, Н+, Nа+, and HCO
