Referring to table 3, parameters corresponding to the first embodiment, the sixth embodiment and the ninth embodiment of the present invention are shown.
Table 3 current efficiency and Li transfer rate data tables for example one, example six to example nine
As can be seen from the comparison of the data in examples one, six to nine of table 3, the current efficiency in the electrodialysis of the two feed solutions, i.e. the mixed permeate and the second concentrate, gradually decreased with increasing current density, and the Li transfer rate was not significantly changed and was maintained at a high level (> 99%).
