“…The results confirmed that the experimental system allows the efficient recovery of Ni and the removal of P without using additional chemical reagents, which is associated with less pollution [48]. Alternatively, Liu et al [49] designed a bipolar membrane electrodialysis system to recover nickel from electroplating sludge. They concluded that the H + produced during the electrodialysis process has a relevant influence on the solubilization of Ni from the solid matrix.…”

Electrodialysis is classified as a membrane separation process in which ions are transferred through selective ion-exchange membranes from one solution to another using an electric field as the driving force. Electrodialysis is a mature technology in the field of brackish water desalination, but in recent decades the development of new membranes has made it possible to extend their application in the food, drug, and chemical process industries, including wastewater treatment. This work describes the state of the art in the use of electrodialysis (ED) for metal removal from water and wastewater. The fundamentals of the technique are introduced based on the working principle, operational features, and transport mechanisms of the membranes. An overview of the key factors (i.e., the membrane properties, the cell configuration, and the operational conditions) in the ED performance is presented. This review highlights the importance of studying the inter-relation of parameters affecting the transport mechanism to design and optimize metal recovery through ED. The conventional applications of ED for the desalination of brackish water and demineralization of industrial process water and wastewater are discussed to better understand the key role of this technology in the separation, concentration, and purification of aqueous effluents. The recovery and concentration of metals from industrial effluents are evaluated based on a review of the literature dealing with effluents from different sources. The most relevant results of these experimental studies highlight the key role of ED in the challenge of selective recovery of metals from aqueous effluents. This review addresses the potential application of ED not only for polluted water treatment but also as a promising tool for the recovery of critical metals to avoid natural resource depletion, promoting a circular economy.

“…In another report, Liu et al reported the recovery of nickel from electroplating sludge and conversion to the desired Ni(OH) 2 product form with purity comparable to the commercial grade. 28 BPM electrochemical separation platforms also find applications in the process of harvesting hydrogen from biological sources. 29,30 The production of hydrogen from biomass is limited by the excessive accumulation of products (e.g., hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and acetic acid) which can drive the kinetics of the reaction backward (eq 1).…”

Sustainable energy conversion, chemical manufacturing, and separations are central to addressing the world's energy and environmental challenges. Electrochemical platforms stand as a cornerstone in addressing these challenges because they are low exergy and can be powered on renewable electrons. In electrochemical systems, bipolar membranes (BPMs) are emerging as a unique class of ion exchange membranes poised to revolutionize various electrochemical processes via pH control of anode and cathode chambers and in situ pH adjustment. In this Spotlight Review, we provide a comprehensive review of electrochemical platforms utilizing BPMs for energy conversion (water electrolyzers for hydrogen production, fuel cells, and flow batteries), chemical manufacturing (electrolyzers that convert carbon dioxide into value-added chemicals and nitrate into ammonia), and separations. The motivation for using BPMs, as well as their performance and durability, in electrochemical platforms are disseminated. We also discuss current challenges that impede BPM electrochemical systems from competing with state-of-the-art electrochemical systems using monopolar ion-exchange membranes (e.g., anion/hydroxide exchange membranes and cation/proton exchange membranes). The review also covers molecular modeling and continuum modeling efforts to understand the basic mechanisms that govern BPM performance.
