Advantages and disadvantages of electro-membrane processes in organic acid recovery.

Technology Advantages Disadvantages
ED Simple process, low energy consumption Relatively low recovery rate
EMT Can realize double composition reactions Acid requirement
EIS Can realize double composition reactions Low current efficiency, acid requirement
EED High current efficiency, can be operated continuously Low product concentration, low membrane stability and selectivity
EDBM High separation efficiency, high acid purity Expensive bipolar membrane price
EDI High recovery rate, self-regeneration, can be operated continuously Requires pretreatment
