Abstract
⺠dc current leads to steady proton generation that cancels AEM mineral fouling. ⺠Repetitive current pulsation removes AEM fouling imparting cleaning-in-place effect. ⺠Brucite layers are formed on the AEM-diluate side when applying long pause lapses. ⺠Brucite layers lead to violent water splitting creating amorphous magnesium hydroxide. ⺠Violent water splitting exalts current and fouls the AEM-concentrate side.
