Electrochemical batch recycle process

Electrochemical flow cells commonly suffer from the problem that the conversion per pass is low. Eor this reason, it is common to run such cells with an electrolyte reservoir and to recirculate the electrolyte repeatedly through a cell or group of cells and back to the reservoir. If the electrochemical process including the flow cell is operated batchwise, it is known as a batch recycle process (Figure 17.4a). The reagent concentration in the reservoir decreases with time and the process is stopped when...
