Abstract
This paper describes the continuous removal of nickel ions from a dilute solution using a hybrid ion-exchange/electrodialysis process. Emphasis was placed on the ionic state of the bed during the process, and the mass balance of ions in the system. Much of this information was obtained by analysing the current distribution across the cell. The effects of temperature, feed nickel concentration and feed solution flow rate were ascertained. It was found that a steady, continuous process can be achieved.
