Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Industrial application of ion‐exchange membranes, the key component of many electro‐membrane processes, is often hindered due to their high cost—result of complex fabrication methods and use of highly engineered precursors. As an alternative to conventional anion‐exchange membrane (AMX), this study focuses on the fabrication of cation‐coated filtration membranes (CCFM‐Type 1 and CCFM‐Type 2) by depositing a thin layer of crosslinked branched polyethyleneimine (PEI)‐based ionomer on top of the porous substrate. The use of commodity precursors (PEI) in combination with energy efficient fabrication processes ensures a low end‐cost for CCFMs. The properties and the performances of these membranes are evaluated and compared with AMX. Though ionic conductance of both CCFMs is found to be lower than AMX, similar electrochemical behavior is observed for all three membranes. In terms of performance, the highest NaCl demineralization rate is given by CCFM‐Type 2, while whey demineralization rate for all three membranes is similar. Energy consumption during both processes is increased for CCFMs probably due to noticeably higher global resistance which the ED system reaches during the process. These promising results suggest the possible application of these cost‐effective CCFMs in electrodialysis demineralization processes as an alternative to commercial AMX at an industrial level.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
