Performance of electrodialysis reversal and reverse osmosis for reclaiming wastewater from high-tech industrial parks in Taiwan: A pilot-scale study

Allochthonous and Autochthonous Halothermotolerant Bioanodes From Hypersaline Sediment and Textile Wastewater: A Promising Microbial Electrochemical Process for Energy Recovery Coupled With Real Textile Wastewater Treatment

“…The average current densities calculated from 48 research papers are 2.6 A/m 2 for industrial wastewater and 0.8 A/m 2 for domestic wastewater. Two main reasons could explain in part this significant difference in average current densities: (i) industrial wastewater is generally more conductive (7 mS/cm) than domestic wastewater (1.5 mS/cm) (Yen et al, 2016) and (ii) the total organic matter concentration in industrial wastewater is between 5,000 and 12,000 mg/L (Rajeshwari et al, 2000), whereas that in domestic wastewater is between 320 and 740 mg/L (Almeida et al, 1999).…”

Sustainability considerations in membrane-based technologies for industrial effluents treatment

“…Membranes can also be used to produce renewable energies. For instance, reverse electrodialysis [226,227] can be utilized in the simultaneous treatment of EFs and the production of electricity. However, the techno-economic features of such advanced types of membrane technologies need to be addressed for their commercialization.…”

Energy-efficient resin wafer electrodeionization for impaired water reclamation

“…Using RO in purifying impaired water, the processing costs would be influenced greatly by the size of the RO plant, typically in the range of USD 0.42−1.20 per m 3 fresh water production. In the case of conventional ED, the operating costs were estimated to be USD 0.73 per m 3 fresh water production based on a treatment capacity of 4000 m 3 /d (Yen et al, 2017). In comparison, using RW-EDI in purifying brackish water, the system size exhibits a minor effect on the processing cost due to its nearly linear scaleup of electric driving forces, where the processing costs are estimated in the range of USD 0.35−0.45 per m 3 fresh water production according to the bench-scale operations in this study.…”
