Ion Exchange Membrane Processes: Their principle and practical appications
During the
second half of the last century ion-exchange membranes and their practical
utilization in electromembrane processes have gained significant technical and
commercial importance in water deionization and purification as well as in
electrochemical synthesis and in energy conversion and energy storage. Certain
processes such as electrodialysis are mature state-of-the-art techniques, while
other processes such as capacitive electrodeionization and electrodialysis with
bipolar membranes or the use of ion-exchange membranes in fuel cells and energy
conversion
are more recent developments which show a large number of
interesting applications.
The literature covering ion-exchange processes and their applications is very fragmented and contained in a number of scientific journals or in a large number of patents. This makes it difficult to gain an overview of today’s available ion-exchange membrane processes and their applications.
The objective of this seminar is to provide a comprehensive
description of the fundamentals of ion-exchange membranes processes and their
applications. The subject is covered in six chapters.
First, a very general
overview of relevant ion-exchange membrane processes is given. Then some
electrochemical and thermodynamic fundamentals are discussed. The preparation
and characterization of ion-exchange membranes is described next. This is
followed by a discussion of the various processes as unit operations and the
design of systems and equipment. Finally, present and possible future
applications of ion-exchange membrane processes are treated and research needs
are pointed out.
