5.1.1 Mass transfer simulation by the Nernst–Planck equation Ions in electrolytic solution are charged species that interact with one another as well as with the solvent. These interactions are quite complex and difficult to model, but an effective yet simple approach leads to the Nernst–Planck equation, which is commonly adopted to describe the ionic flux in electromembrane processes. This approach is based on the so-called principle of independence of ionic fluxes: the flux density of a species i is determined by its electrochemical potential gradient only, and not by the electrochemical potential gradients of other species [62]. This means that cross- phenomenological coefficients are neglected in the transport equations for ionic species, i.e. short- range interactions among ions are neglected, while only ion-solvent interaction is considered. The Nernst–Planck approach is strictly applicable only to dilute solutions, where the probability that two ions get close is relatively small. The ions flux is expressed as previously reported in eq. (7) (see Section 4.1). The complete system of equations includes the mass balance of ionic species, the conservation of mass (continuity equation) and momentum (Navier–Stokes equations), a condition for the net charge density (electroneutrality or Poisson’s law) and a constitutive equation linking current density and ions flux. Usually, local electroneutrality condition is simply assumed, which states that the local electrical charge density is null everywhere: (26) In this respect, a more rigorous relationship is Poisson’s equation, which, for a medium of uniform dielectric constant ε, is: 􏰽𝑧􏰒𝐶􏰒 =0 􏰒 ∇ 􏰣 𝜑 = 𝐹𝜀 􏰽 𝑧 􏰒 𝐶 􏰒 􏰒 (27) When Poisson’s equation is used (instead of local electroneutrality) to close the system, the so-called Nernst–Planck–Poisson (N-P-P) model is obtained. The proportionality constant F/ε in eq. (27) is quite large (for water ε ≈ 7.08 × 10-10 F/m), so that a negligible deviation from electroneutrality would lead to a considerable deviation from zero of the Laplacian of the electric potential. In other words, an appreciable separation of charge would be associated with very large electric forces [305]. However, deviations from local electroneutrality do occur in the electrical double layer at IEM- solution or electrode-solution interfaces and are confined to a very narrow region (thickness of 1-10 nm [305]). Only at overlimiting currents the space charge (or extended space charge, ESC) region expands beyond the electric double layer. In these conditions, Poisson’s equation is needed for the description of transport phenomena. 52
