Description

Electrodeionization: Fundamentals, Methods and Applications explains the latest developments in research on ion exchange membranes, wastewater zero discharge based on ion exchange membranes, membrane capacitive deionization, membrane free, and resin wafer electrodeionization cells. This cost-effective method efficiently assists in ion removal and recovery and is suitable for a wide range of applications, including desalination, water and wastewater treatment, extraction of high-value products, concentrating and purifying operations, and energy savings, and as such will be of interest to researchers and students working on these areas as well as those in chemicals manufacture, energy generation and storage.

Electrodeionization is a fully advanced ion exchange method that combines ion exchange, electrodialysis, and elusion procedures for metal particle removal from wastewater.

Key features

  • Covers the continuous electrodeionization working principle
  • Includes multiple applications of electrodeionization
  • Provides updates on resin-wafer, membrane-free and electrostatically shielded electrodeionization

Readership
