  Electrodialysis (ED) is a new advanced separation process that is commonly utilized for producing drinking water from water bodies as well as for the treatment of industrial effluents. ED process is applied on commercial scale. Basically, an ED process consists of an ion exchange membrane and the diving force necessary for applicability of the process is electric potential. Due to the presence of electric potential ions from one solution after passing through ion selective membrane barrier are transferred to another solution. The main factors on which ED process performance depends on concentration of ion in raw water, flow rate, concentration of feed, current density, membrane properties and cell compartments geometry. Fouling which is produced by foulants including organics, colloids and biomass on the inside membrane internal structure or on the outside surface results in reduction.. View More»
