TL;DR: In this article, the principle of electrodialysis is described and its advantages and limitations in various applications are pointed out and their present and potential future applications are indicated, as well as the research needs for a sustainable growth of electrodesys and related processes.

TL;DR: Ion exchange membranes play an important role today in deionization of aqueous solutions, in electrochemical synthesis, and in energy conversion and storage as discussed by the authors, and their advantages and limitations are discussed and their commercial relevance is indicated.

TL;DR: In this article, the design and optimization of an electrodialysis plant to be used for brackish water desalination has been treated and the required equations were derived or, as in the case of the limiting current density, were experimentally determined.

TL;DR: In this paper, the development of anion-exchange membranes with low electrical resistance, high selectivity and good long-term stability in strong acid or alkaline solutions is described, and the results show that these membranes are suitable for use in electrodialysis in the chemical and biochemical process industry and for the treatment of industrial waste waters.

TL;DR: Based on the ternary phase diagram, the tie-lines and some kinetic considerations, a new approach is introduced to explain membrane formation as discussed by the authors, which can be applied to vapor-, diffusion-and thermal-induced phase separation processes.
