Hydrochloric Acid Generator is composed of a bipolar membrane, and the anion membrane and the cation membrane to form acid, alkali, and salt chambers (two chambers or three chambers) in different combinations.
The anions pass through the anion exchange membrane and combine with the H+ ions produced by the bipolar membrane to generate acid. The cations pass through the cation exchange membrane and combine with the OH-ions produced by the bipolar membrane to generate alkali. The process is equivalent to the reverse reaction process of the neutralization reaction.
The bipolar membrane electrodialysis is a new type of electrodialysis that introduces bipolar membrane on the basis of electrodialysis, and combines various configurations of cathode and/or cation membrane. Its role is to convert salt solutions into acids and bases.
Under the action of an external reverse DC electric field, the bipolar membrane dissociates H 2 O molecules into H+ and OH- under the action of a catalyst, and migrates into the solution on both sides of the membrane through the anode and cathode layers respectively. The decrease of H+ and OH concentration in the catalytic layer makes the hydrolysis reaction continue to proceed. The bipolar membrane is equivalent to a hydrolysis generator that produces H+ and OH ions.
Bipolar membrane electrodialysis is a new type of electrodialysis formed by introducing a bipolar membrane on the basis of electrodialysis and combining various configurations of the anion membrane and/or the anode membrane. Unlike the concentrated desalination function of conventional electrodialysis, its function is to convert a salt solution into an acid and a base. Under the action of a reverse DC electric field, the H2O molecules in the catalytic layer are dissociated into H+ and OH- under the action of a catalyst, and migrated through the positive and negative layers to the host solution on both sides of the membrane, respectively. The lowering of the H+ and OH- concentrations causes the hydrolysis to proceed continuously. Simply put, a bipolar membrane is equivalent to a hydrolysis generator that produces H+ and OH-ions.
The bipolar membrane, the combination of the anion membrane and the yang membrane constitute a three-chamber of acid, alkali and salt. The anion of the salt passes through the anion membrane and combines with the H+ ion generated by the bipolar membrane to form an acid. On the other hand, the cation passes through the cation exchange membrane and the double The OH-ion generated by the polar membrane combines to form a base, and the process is equivalent to the reverse reaction process of the neutralization reaction.

Characteristics of The Hydrochloric acid generator
- Energy saving and environmental protection, a new generation of acid-base technology;
- splitting water into H+ and OH- at low voltage;
- The acid and alkali are formed from inorganic salts and organic acid salts in a single process, and the process is simple and clean;
- The concentration of acid and alkali produced is controllable and adjustable;
- no redox reaction occurs except for the electrodes at both ends, and no by-products are produced;
- Each chamber does not require electrodes, and the amount of gas generated is small. The investment cost and operating cost account for only 40 to 50% of the electrolysis method.
