Process and system for separation of organic charged compounds (EDUF1)
-
Electrodialysis with filtration membrane (EDFM), according to the membrane configuration used allowed the simultaneous separation of neutral and charged organic compounds from a solution or composition using anionic and cationic membranes in combination with UF membrane stacked in an electrodialysis cell EDUF separates molecules according to their charge (driving force = electric field) and molecular weight (membrane cutoff). Since no pressure is applied, EDUF minimizes the accumulation of molecules at the membrane surface. It can be used as a batch recirculation process and could overcome the low selectivity of membrane filtration process and be less expensive than chromatography.
