MODELLING AND MEASUREMENTS ON A DEVICE FOR CURRENT FOCUSING IN AN ELECTROLYTIC PROCESS

Cipriano Bartoletti

Abstract

An electrical model of ionic current distribution in electrolytic solutions, in asymmetrical geometry of electrodes, is proposed. The results are compared with the known ones carried out by a software specialised in symmetrical current flow computing. By means a systematic campaign of computing, the electrical and geometrical parameters of a ionic current focusing device are found. A computer controlled experimental apparatus, based on such parameters, is also presented. Early measurements on this device seem to confirm the model validity.
