6. Electrodialysis applications

Numerous [20][21][22][23][24] applications have been developed in recent years for conventional electrodialysis (EDC) and bipolar electrodialysis (EDBM). The integration of these technologies into processes for the purification or production of organic molecules makes it possible to reduce, among other things, the saline effluents generated by the use of ion exchange resins.

Table 5 shows the main applications of electrodialysis by sector of activity. An overview of EDMB installations worldwide is given in .
