Abstract

We investigate the stationary state solution of the fractional diffusion equation applied to Electrodialysis. This model corresponds to the anomalous diffusion case, that has several applications on Biology, Chemistry and Engineering. With the tools of fractional calculus, we have obtained the analytical solution for the fractional diffusion equation considering an external field. We use the mean field approximation to obtain the solution.

Keywords: Anomalous diffusion; Electrodialysis; Fractional calculus; Membranes; Mean field approximation
