Fig. 15. Ion movements in the electro dialysis process. Courtesy U.S. Agency for International Development, (a) Many of the substances which make up the total dissolved soHds in brackish water are strong electrolytes. When dissolved in water, they ionize ie, the compounds dissociate into ions which carry an electric charge. Typical of the ions in brackish water are Cl ,, HCO3, , and. These ions tend to attract the dipolar water molecules... Fig. 15. Ion movements in the electro dialysis process.

Much of this equipment runs on electricity. One possible solution was to use batteries, but the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the U.S. agency responsible for space exploration, rejected this idea. The problem with... [Pg.144]
