Boron transfer during desalination by electrodialysis by Han, Le, Liu, Yue, Chew, Jia Wei

“…Diffusion and additional transfer are key mechanisms for boron transfer in ED, and the additional transfer is governed by convection for boric acid and migration for borate. Four key results are highlighted. Firstly, boric acid (i.e., at pH = 6.1) transfer was greater than borate (i.e., at pH = 10.8) transfer, giving the permeability and additional transfer coefficient of the former of respectively an order-of-magnitude and twofold that of the latter. …”
