The Role of Membrane, Feed characteristic and Process Parameter on RED Power Generation

Reverse electrodialysis (RED) is a renewable energy-generating SGE technique using energy from salinity gradients. This research investigates the effect of membrane and feed characteristics on reverse power generation. Some investigations process parameters for complement main study were also conducted. The generated RED was measured density analysis. experiments performed artificial seawater varied 0 to 1 g/L NaCl diluted salt water 40 concentrated water. In ions type, non-pa used represent monovalent ions, MgSO4 represents divalent ions. results showed that highest voltage generation 2.004 volts by 14 cells number utilizing self-made laboratory scale. enhanced raising flow rate (0.10 L/min), concentration difference (40 g/L), presence electrode rinse solution. Further, ion type (monovalent, divalent, multivalent) influenced resulting density, where (MgSO4) 's greater than (NaCl). resistance selectivity major keys
