Abstract

This study presents the development of a mathematical model to accurately predict the dynamics of salt and water transport in a batch electrodialysis system used for either NaCl desalination or LiCl brine concentration. The primary aim of the model is to simulate the desalination of high-salinity water under specified current density conditions. The governing equations for the electrodialysis stack and associated tanks were formulated and solved using numerical methods.
