Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for generating acid and base regenerant solutions by utilization of a bipolar membrane electrodialysis stack. A mineral-containing salt solution is continuously circulated through the stack to produce a partially demineralized salt solution, an acid solution and a base solution. The acid solution and base solution are continuously circulated through the stack to increase the concentration thereof. The circulating salt solution is controlled to maintain the salt concentration in the range of 2% to 25% and the pH in the range of 8-11. The concentrations of the circulating acid solution and base solution are controlled to maintain the concentrations thereof in the range of 0.2N to 3.0N. The concentrated acid solution and base solution are utilized to regenerate exhausted ion-exchange resins.
