Extruded and overlapped geometries of feed spacers for solution mixing in electrochemical reactors and electrodialysis-related processes

Sajjad Khudhur Abbas Al-Amshawee et al.

Summary: This study discusses the designs of extruded and overlapped channel spacers, demonstrating the fundamental mechanisms that affect the hydrodynamics of the spacer-filled channel flow. The geometry of the spacers determines the flow dynamics and mass transfer rates. The attack angle also influences flow disturbance and pressure drop. New spacer designs should aim to improve membrane performance and reduce power consumption.
