Hello Everyone
I am currently investigating the use of electrolysis of sea water to produce Hydrogen and Oxygen gas, as sea water is arguably the most available substance besides air.
One of the issues I am facing is that the chloride concentration of the water is too high for the anode reaction to yield any oxygen. I am looking for way to remove the majority of the chloride ions from the water without too much energy input as this would make the whole process very inefficient.
I have read on less reliable sites that air stripping can be used to remove chloride ions from water however I have not been able to find any source to verify this. Can air stripping be used for this purpose or are there any other methods that would work effectively on a large scale without disrupting the electrolysis of the water.
Thank you in advance.
