Abstract

In this study, high concentrations of cadmium-containing wastewater were treated by electrodialysis (ED) with a channel stack. The limiting current density (LCD), cadmium removal efficiency, and current efficiency were investigated under each experimental condition according to the Reynolds number (Re), membrane area, and pH. With the increase in the film area to 111, 333, 555, and 777 cm2 at Re (109.1), LCDs decreased to 408.11, 44.45, 35.32, and 13.64 A/m2, respectively. The highest cadmium removal efficiency (99.6%) and current efficiency were obtained for the membrane area of 111 and 777 cm2, respectively. Under changing Re in the pH range of 1 to 4, Re and LCD were proportional under the same pH condition, and pH and LCD tended to be inversely proportional under the same Re condition. Cadmium removal rate was the best at the pH range 3 - 4. It has been found that ED with channeled stacks can be successfully applied to treat wastewater containing high concentrations of cadmium.
