Question
Describe about
  1. Dialysis
  2. Electro dialysis.

Answer

1. Dialysis:
Thomas Graham separated the electrolyte from a colloid using a semipermeable membrane. In this method, the colloidal solution is taken in a bag made up of semipermeable membrane. It is suspended in a trough of flowing water, the electrolytes diffuse out of the membrane and they are carried away by water. membrane and they are carried away by water.
2. Electro dialysis:
The presence of electric field increases the speed of removal of electrolytes from colloidal solution. The colloidal solution containing an electrolyte as impurity is placed between two dialysing membranes enclosed into two compartments filled with water.When current is passed, the impurities pass into water compartment and get removed periodically. This process is faster than dialysis, as the rate of diffusion of electrolytes is increased by The application of electricity.
