Optimal control of oxidation-reduction processes in electrochemical reactors with flowing volumetric porous electrodes. Mathematical models

As to the solution of problems in control of electrochemical reactors with VPE, two directions of research seem to be the most promising ones. The first direction is in the optimization of construction items of the reactor at the expense of precise selection of electrical conductivity of an electrode, as the function dependent on one of spatial coordinate. The second direction is in optimal process control of an electrochemical deposition in the situation when the relation of the dimensional current density on electrodes of reactor to the temporary coordinate of process is selected as a control parameter. To work on these topics, it is necessary to use methods of mathematical modeling of electrochemical processes in porous media, as well as mathematical methods of solutions of problems of optimal control. In addition, an experimental verification of mathematical findings is necessary. To do this, it is proposed to elaborate methods for obtaining of carbon fibrous materials with given properties, such as, for example with given electrical conductivity.
