Abstract
A dynamic multi-short-circuited galvanic cell (MSCGC) with Pt-AI electrodes has been used to study the removal of colloidal silica from seawater as a pretreatment step for the desalination of seawater by use of reverse osmosis. The rate of silica removal is observed to be affected by the flow rate of the solution through the cell and the dissolved oxygen content of the solution as well as by the nature of the aluminum electrode surface and the number of contact points (short circuits) between the aluminum and platinum. The total silica content is reduced by 95 % by use of this cell configuration. © 1985, American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.
