A novel theoretical approach to electroosmotic dewatering (EOD), with or without a pressure gradient, of clays, sludges and other colloidal suspensions is proposed. The treatment is based on nan-equilibrium thermodynamics as developed in the work of Overbeek, De Groot and others. The interpretation of electrokinetic phenomena in terms of the cancepts of irreversible thermodynamics when combined with Onsager's relations, it has been shown by Overbeek, provides a complete framework for understanding all electrokinetic phenomena. We have applied this approach here to the electroosmotic dewatering. both in the presence and absence of applied hydrostatic pressure. The approach provides much clarification on the nature and significance of currents and fluxes observed during EOD: these are composed of three components, during combined pressure electroosmotic dewatering: (i) electrochemicavelectrical current; (ii) hydrodynamic flux: (iii) electroosmotic current. We have also shown the manner in which the proposed new approach to EOD based on irreversible thermodynamics can be connected to the conventional approach based on the Helmholzu-Smoluchowski equation. |
