The project titled “Advancing Membrion’s Ceramic Ion Exchange Membranes for Industrial Wastewater Cleaning in Electrodialysis” is dedicated to advancing Membrion’s vision of improving industrial water treatment. In an era of rapid population growth and escalating water demand, the depletion of water supplies presents engineers with a constantly growing challenge. Our project aims to test and implement cutting-edge ion exchange technology to treat wastewater using an electro-ceramic desalination process.
The project's primary objectives are to evaluate Membrion’s ceramic ion exchange membranes, which includes assessing the membrane’s performance under exposure to acids, oxidizers, and foulants. Additionally, quantitative ion exchange capacity tests were conducted to gauge the membrane’s ability to capture ions and to determine if any cleaning agents can restore lost ion exchange capacity. The project's results aim to gain a deeper insight into the membrane’s performance characteristics and suitability for industrial wastewater treatment applications.
