Abstract

This paper presents the performance of a porous glass electroosmotic pump using an iodide/triiodide aqueous solution. The porous glass electroosmotic pump is characterized in terms of the flow rate and voltage. The flow rate and voltage increases linearly with current. A point where the voltage significantly increases is observed owing to an excess in redox capacity. The transition time monotonously decreases with current. The normalized flow rate (flow rate per membrane surface area) is used to compare previous results with results obtained in this study. The normalized flow rate of porous glass frits is three times higher than that of Nafion 117.

본 연구에서는 요오드이온과 삼요오드이온의 가역적인 산화환원 반응에 의하여 기포를 생성하지 않는 다공성 유리막 전기삼투펌프의 성능 평가에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 다공성 유리막 전기삼투펌프의 성능은 유량과 전압으로 측정되었다. 전기삼투펌프의 유량과 전압은 적용 전류가 증가할 때 선형적으로 증가하였고, 전압의 경우 일정 시간 후 작동 유체가 산화환원반응을 할 수 있는 용량의 초가로 인하여 급격히 전압이 증가하는 변이 지점이 발생하였다. 변이시간은 전류의 증가에 의하여 단조적으로 감소하였다. 유량을 표면적으로 나눈 표준화된 유량을 이용하여 다공성 유리막과 이전 나피온 막에서의 펌핑 성능을 비교하였고, 다공성 유리막에서 대략 3 배정도 높은 수치를 가졌다.
