And Migration

Using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), we observed the rate of water dissociation decrease in the presence of salt ions while also observing the diffusion and migration of these salt ions, showing a clear link between the peaks observed in EIS and ion crossover. In addition, we show how EIS can be used to in-situ monitor the stability and ageing of a BPM, revealing that degradation of the BPM is more prominent in extreme pH electrolyte pairs compared to non-extreme electrolyte pairs. The in-situ monitoring of the WDR and stability of a BPM are vital methods for adequate and consistent comparison of novel designs of BPM-based systems, where EIS allows for discriminating BPM characteristics from other components even during operation. <br>

Added Salt

Bipolar-membrane electroacidification (BMEA) technology, which uses the property of bipolar membranes to split water and the demineralization action of cation-exchange membranes (CEM), was tested for the production of acid casein. BMEA has numerous advantages in comparison with conventional isoelectric precipitation processes of proteins used in the dairy industry. BMEA uses electricity to generate the desired ionic species to acidify the treated solutions. The process can be precisely controlled, as electro-acidification rate is regulated by the effective current density in the cell. Water dissociation at the bipolar membrane interface is continuous and avoids local excess of acid. In-situ generation of dangerous chemicals (acids and bases) reduces the risks associated with the handling, transportation, use and elimination of these products. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of BMEA in different conditions of added ionic strength (μadded = 0, 0·25, 0·5 and 1·0 M) and added salt (CaCl2, NaCl and KCl).The combination of KCl and μadded = 0·5 M gave the best results with a 45% decrease in energy consumption. The increased energy efficiency was the result of a decrease in the anode/cathode voltage difference. This was due to an increase of conductivity, produced by addition of salt, necessary to compensate for the lack of sufficiently mobile ions in the skim milk. However, the addition of salts, irrespective of type or ionic strength, increased the required operation time. The protein profile of isolates were similar under all experimental conditions, except at 1·0 M-CaCl2.
