Desalination at overlimiting currents: State-of-the-art and perspectives
VV Nikonenko, AV Kovalenko, MK Urtenov… - Desalination, 2014 - Elsevier
For about 60 years, it is known that “limiting current” density does not really limit the current
density in electrodialysis (ED). The use of intensive currents allows one to decrease the area …
