Description
The present invention relates to an electroosmotic pump for fluid transfer using a membrane electrode assembly, and more particularly to a stacked electroosmotic pump composed of a first electrode, a second electrode, a membrane, and an insulating layer, The fluid is moved due to the generation and consumption of cations due to the oxidation reaction proceeding at the first electrode and the reduction reaction proceeding at the second electrode, and the fluid for moving the fluid using the membrane electrode composite in which the electrode maintains the original state due to the reversible reaction Lt; / RTI > pump.
The electroosmosis phenomenon is a pump that utilizes fluid movement that occurs when a voltage is applied to both ends of a capillary or a porous membrane. Therefore, when a pump is constructed using electroosmosis, an electrode for applying a voltage to both ends of the porous separator must be used.
Although platinum which is chemically stable is generally used as a material of the electrode, platinum has a low hydrogen overpotential to water, and hydrogen gas is generated at the reducing electrode when a potential difference of several volts or more is applied to both ends of the porous separator. This gas generation is an important factor limiting the practical use of the electroosmotic pump.
In addition to the gas generation at the electrode, the practical application of the electroosmotic pump is limited due to the change of the pH due to the oxidation / reduction reaction during the operation of the electroosmosis pump and the problem of using high pressure in order to generate high pressure.
Among the above-mentioned problems, the problem of gas generated in the electrode has been solved by introducing a substance capable of being oxidized and reduced into the electrode itself. However, these electrodes have been made of silver (Ag), silver oxide (AgO) ), Polyaniline and the like are used.
Also, in order to increase the pressure generated by the electrode, zwitterion (zwitterion) is added to the working fluid, or a cascade pump structure in which the membrane and the electrode are connected in a multi-stage series connection There is also a proposed bar.
As described above, the electroosmotic pump has been improved in the direction of improving the performance of the electrode, the direction of improving the material and porosity of the porous separator, and the direction of improving the composition of the working fluid of the pump among the components of the pump.
The electrolyte solution is stored in Korean Patent No. 10-1106286 (the name of the invention: an electroosmotic drug pump and its system, hereinafter referred to as Prior Art 1), and a driving unit for pumping the drug, a driving unit provided between the driving units, A porous glass slit diaphragm for separating the first and second spaces into a first space and a second space and forming a concentration gradient by passing ions therethrough to move the solvent or the solution; a drug storage portion for storing the drug; At least one micro needle arranged to protrude through the outer membrane of the reservoir and inserted into the skin to immobilize the drug, a first space, both electrodes inserted in the second space, and both electrodes, An electric osmotic drug pump comprising an integral power supply unit including a power supply unit capable of applying an electric osmotic drug.
