Abstract
Electrochemical membrane technology for environmental remediation repository of basic knowledge and recent progress is reviewed in this chapter. The chapter summarizes the key processes in the use of electrochemical membranes, focusing on their need in electrodialytic and the electrocatalytic remediation of contaminated media. The fundamentals (including materials and reactor design) of the electrodialytic remediation technology are presented with consideration given to the critical operating parameters and performance indicators, mathematical simulation/modeling methods, and recent advances in electrodialytic remediation research. Meanwhile, two membrane technologies (i.e., the 3D electrochemical system and the proton-conducting membrane cell) for electrocatalytic remediation of contaminated media under different scenarios are briefly described. Finally, the chapter ends with a critical discussion on the challenges of and the perspectives for future study in electrochemical membrane technology for the purpose of environmental remediation.
