About Application technology of bipolar membrane electrodialysis
Bipolar membrane is a kind of thin film material with many applications. Its special structure and properties make it widely used in battery, separation, catalysis and other fields.
In the field of batteries, bipolar membranes can be used to prepare various types of batteries, such as lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, lead-acid batteries, etc. Its application can improve the energy density of the battery, reduce the internal resistance, extend the life and so on. For example, in lithium-ion batteries, the double can isolate the charge between the anode and cathode, prevent the battery from short circuit, and also avoid the mutual reaction between the anode and cathode, improving the cycle life of the battery.
In the field of separation, bipolar membranes can be used for ion exchange, membrane filtration, etc. For example, in desalination seawater can be desalted by isolating salt and water molecules through selective channels of positive and negative ions. In the chemical industry, it can also be used in the process of acid-base separation and purification of organic matter, with high separation efficiency and selectivity.
In the field of catalysis, bipolar membranes can be used to prepare catalysts and accelerate chemical reactions. For example, in electrochemical synthesis reactions, it can be used as a catalyst carrier to improve reaction rate and selectivity. In organic synthesis, it can also be used in photocatalytic reactions and electrocatalytic reactions to perform functional modifications on various organic molecules.

FAQ's of Application technology of bipolar membrane electrodialysis:
Q: How does bipolar membrane electrodialysis separate acids and bases from saline solutions?
A: The system utilizes bipolar and ion exchange membranes within an electrodialysis stack, which, when activated by an electrical current, causes ions to migrate and dissociate, effectively separating acid and base from the salty feed solution. This process enables targeted recovery of high-purity acids and alkalis, such as HCl and NaOH.
Q: What types of applications can this technology be customized for?
A: Its flexible design allows for use in wastewater treatment, acid and alkali recovery, resource recycling, chemical processes, and environmental protection. Flow rate, stack size, and system configuration can be tailored to specific industrial requirements for optimal performance and integration.
Q: When is membrane maintenance required for optimal performance?
A: Periodic inspection and cleaning of the membranes are recommended, typically aligned with scheduled system maintenance intervals. This helps maximize membrane lifespan-often over three years-and sustain system efficiency and reliability over extended operation.
Q: Where can the system be installed within industrial operations?
A: Thanks to its compact, skid-mounted design and scalable structure, the system can be installed as a plug-and-play unit or integrated into custom-engineered processes within a wide range of industrial facilities across India and other global locations.
