Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for reducing the ionic strength or the concentration of certain polyvalent ions in aqueous dispersions of organic binding agents or inorganic solid bodies by electrodialysis, and a cell package suitable for use in the method. This method permits stabilization of aqueous compositions of the dispersed components by regulating the ionic strength or the concentration of certain polyvalent ions thereby increasing the durability and throughput times of coating baths. More particularly, the method is used in removing polyvalent metal cations from anionically stabilized aqueous binding agent dispersions. A special application exists in removing from autophoretic baths, which contain anionically dispersed organic binding agents and possibly inorganic pigments for forming protective layers on metallic components, polyvalent cations of zinc, iron and aluminum, which accumulate in the bath when components with surfaces comprised at least partially from zinc, iron and/or aluminum, are processed.
