Bipolar-membrane electrodialysis: Applications of electrodialysis in the food industry

Identification of Skim Milk Electroacidification Fouling: A Microscopic Approach

“…Ion-exchange (or ionic) membranes are made of a macromolecular material (skeleton) having ionizable groups electrically neutralized by mobile charges of the opposite sign (1,2). Under the influence of an electric field, these membranes exchange by diffusion between the membrane and the surrounding solution (2) and reject from their core, by the Donnan effect, ions with the same charges as the ionized groups fixed on the skeleton (3,4).…”

Electric field‐enhanced transport across phase boundaries and membranes and its potential use in sample pretreatment for bioanalysis

“…A list of applications of ED in food analyses is given in the later publication. Bazinet et al have focused on applications of bipolar membranes as separation media in ED sample treatment for food processing in their review article [11]. The principle of ED with bipolar membranes was predominantly used for acidification and alkalization of beverage streams on industrial and laboratory scale.…”

“…Since its early days, ED has evolved into a routine separation technique in various fields of applications and has been adopted by industrial as well as by academic community. It can be documented by several relevant publications as representative examples of applications of ED in industry [8][9][10] and in food and environmental analyses [11][12][13].…”

Electro-generation of 3-methyl-2-formylaminopyridine using a bipolar membrane as separator

“…Yu et al [8] reported the recovery of acetic acid from dilute wastewater using BPM. Bazinet et al [9] developed an electro-acidification technology using BPM for the food industry. Sidhar [10] successfully synthesized acetoacetic ester using BPM with methanol splitting, which initiates novel and green paths for organic synthesis.…”
