Preface

The electrodialysis process, from energy to the environment, offers very important opportunities. Separation of ion content in water, recovery, electrolysis of water, and many other possibilities will be possible with electrodialysis. Electrodialysis is of great importance not only in the efficient use of resources in our world, but also in space studies. In this book on electrodialysis, in 7 chapters, the possibilities offered by the electrodialysis process are discussed in detail and presented to the service of the scientific community. In the first chapter, Toujani et al. discussed the organic rankine cycle (ORC) application on desalination systems. In the second chapter, Cevher-Keskin describe how the functional organization of eukaryotic cells requires the exchange of proteins, lipids, and polysaccharides between membrane compartments through transport intermediates. The vacuolar and endocytic trafficking are presented to enhance our understanding of plant development and immunity in plants. In the third chapter, the breakdown of endocrine disrupting drugs (trimethoprim and a mixture of clavulanic acid-amoxicilli) in aqueous media using electrolysis by Perez et al is discussed. The fourth chapter proposes an alternative system for conventional reverse osmosis (RO) and electrodialysis (ED) desalination plants by incorporating the use of gravitational potential energy (GPE). The proposed system in this chapter is devised with two subsystems, the RO module followed by the ED module, both simultaneously powered by GPE. The fifth chapter proposes a zero discharge approach for the sustainable protection of groundwater by membrane-based treatment processes by Gupta. In the sixth chapter, Deseure and Aicart provide the details of hydrogen production by Solid Oxide Steam Electrolyser (SOEC) coupled with renewable energy sources. Finally, in the seventh chapter, Yonar briefly discusses the potential of the Electrodialysis Bipolar Membrane Process potential on membrane concentrate management.
