Descripción
A mathematical model to calculate tertiary current distributions in electrochemical reactors is presented taking into account the potential and concentration fields together with the hydrodynamics under laminar or turbulent conditions. Multiple reactions with different kinetic controls are considered at both electrodes. The computational algorithm solving the model was implemented in OpenFOAM. It allows the calculations for a given local potential at the working electrode, potentiostatic control, or for a fixed cell potential difference and also for a current flowing through the cell, galvanostatic operation. The model was validated by using the reduction of ferricyanide and the oxidation of ferrocyanide from dilute solutions as main test reactions and hydrogen and oxygen evolution as secondary ones, in a modified hydrocyclone. A close agreement between experimental and predicted current distributions was obtained. The hydrocyclone presents a promising electrochemical performance being the mass-transfer conditions in its cylindrical part better than in the conical region. The computational tool developed in this paper can be employed to optimize both cells stack design and system operation conditions. Likewise, the algorithm can also be used to check, when limiting current studies are needed, whether the desired reaction is under mass-transfer or charge-transfer control for a given geometric configuration.
