Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 1754: Heavy Metal Removal from Aqueous Solutions Using a Customized Bipolar Membrane Electrodialysis Process

In conclusion, this process efficiently separates HMs from aqueous solutions. It showed the features of diluate pH adjustment, reduction in the overall stack electrical resistance, and contribution of anion exchange membranes in multivalent cation removal. The mechanisms involved in HMs removal were diffusion and migration from the bulk solution, followed by their sorption on both cation and anion exchange membranes.
