In the context of preserving and improving human health, electrodialytic processes are very
promising perspectives. Indeed, they allow the treatment of water, preservation of food …

For about 60 years, it is known that “limiting current” density does not really limit the current
density in electrodialysis (ED). The use of intensive currents allows one to decrease the area …

Mechanisms for overlimiting current and concentration polarization in electrodialysis (ED)
with ion-exchange membranes are not yet well understood despite its half-century history. A …

Electrochemical methods are known to have attractive features and capabilities when used
for ion separations and water purification. In this study, we developed a new process called …

The development of energy and infrastructure efficient water purification systems is among
the most critical engineering challenges facing our society. Water purification is often a multi …

Rising global demand for potable water is driving innovation in water treatment methods.
Shock electrodialysis is a recently proposed technique that exploits deionization shock …

The increasing popularity of nuclear energy necessitates development of new methods to
treat water that becomes contaminated with radioactive substances. Because this polluted …

Surface modification of ion-exchange membranes is already proved to be an effective and
low-cost way to improve membrane properties. Usually, the object of modification are cation …

The conductivity of highly charged membranes is nearly constant, due to counterions
screening pore surfaces. Weakly charged porous media, or “leaky membranes,” also contain …

Water purification remains a challenge across sectors worldwide, especially the efficient
removal of specific (toxic or valuable) dissolved ions at low salinity. In this article, shock …
