On the Origin of the Overlimiting Current in Electrodialysis<br />

M. Wessling (Speaker), University of Twente, Netherlands - m.wessling@utwente.nl<br />

The origin of the current flow above the limiting current density has been a puzzle<br />

ever since its discovery. Loss in membrane selectivity, gravitational convection,<br />

and in particular enhanced water splitting have been used as arguments to<br />

explain the occurrence of the overlimiting current. Yet another explaination is the<br />

emergence of electro-convection. This presentation reflects on these theories,<br />

but will present for the first time explicit experimental proof of the existance of<br />

electro-convection.
