Laboratory tests were performed to determine the efficiency of dye solution desalination by electrodialysis. The study involved anionic dye and mineral salt recovery by obtaining two streams from a salt and dye mixture - dye-rich solution and salt solution. A standard anion-exchange and cation-exchange membranes or monovalent selective anion-exchange membranes were used in the ED stack. It was found that the separation efficiency was strongly dependent on the dye molecular weight. The best results for standard ion-exchange membranes were achieved for the desalination of Direct Black solution. Furthermore, the obtained results implied that the application of monovalent selective anion-exchange membranes improved the recovery of dye and salt solutions - the dye concentration in the diluate remained constant irrespective of the molecular weight of anionic dyes, whereas the salt recovery remained very high (99.5%).

The inorganic components in tobacco sheet extract have significant influence on the sensory taste of the cigars and the harmful component delivery in cigarette smoke. To identify the contributions of the divalent inorganic components on harmful components delivery in cigarette smoke, a self-made selective electrodialysis was assembled with monovalent ion-selective ion exchange membranes. The influences of current density and extract content on the desalination performance were investigated. Result indicates that the majorities chloride, nitrate, and sulfate ions were removed, comparing with 50-60% of potassium and only less than 10% of magnesium and calcium ions removed in the investigated current density. The permselectivity of the tested cations across the Selemion CSO cation exchange membranes follows the order: $K^+>Ca^{2+}>Mg^{2+}$. A current density of $15mA/cm^2$ is an optional choice by considering both the energy consumption and separation efficiency. When the extract contents are in the range of 7%-20%, the removal ratios the potassium ions are kept around 60%, while the removal ratios of the calcium and magnesium ions fluctuate in the range of 16-27% and 8-14%, respectively. The tobacco smoke experiments indicated that the divalent metal ions have dual roles for the harmful component delivery in cigarette smoke. The divalent potassium and calcium ions were unfavorable for the total particulate matter emission but beneficial to decrease the HCN delivery in the mainstream cigarette smoke. The selective electrodialysis is a robust technology to decrease the harmful component delivery in cigarette smoke.

역전기투석(reverse electrodialysis, RED)은 해수와 담수의 농도 차로부터 에너지를 얻는 이온교환막을 이용한 전기막 공정이다. 해수와 담수에 포함된 다가 이온은 이온교환막의 고정 전하 그룹에 강하게 결합하여 높은 저항을 유발하며 uphill transport를 통해 개방회로 전압과 전력 밀도를 저하시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 RED 응용을 위해 1가 이온 선택성 및 전기화학적 특성이 우수한 세공충진 음이온교환막(pore-filled anion-exchange membrane, PFAEM)을 제조하였다. 제조된 막의 1가 이온 선택성은 3.65였으며 동일 조건에서 1.27의 선택성을 갖는 상용막(ASE, Astom Corp.)보다 우수한 수준을 나타내었다. 또한 제조된 막은 ASE 대비 낮은 전기적 저항 등 우수한 전기화학적 특성을 나타내었다. 0.459 M NaCl/0.0510 M Na₂SO₄의 해수와 0.0153 M NaCl/0.0017 M Na₂SO₄의 담수 조건에서 RED 성능을 평가한 결과 제조된 막을 적용하여 1.80 W/m²의 최대 전력 밀도를 얻었으며 이는 ASE 막 대비 40.6% 향상된 출력 성능이었다.
