Studies on bipolar membranes .2. Conversion of sodium acetate to acetic acid and sodium hydroxide
The electrodialytic water-splitting technology using bipolar membrane is an attractive cost-effective process for the production of acids and alkalies from the corresponding salts occurring in waste waters. Earlier report by us described the preparation of bipolar membranes and its application in converting sodium sulfate into sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide. In this paper, as an extension of our earlier published work [G.S. Trivedi, B.G. Shah, S.K. Adhikary, V.K. Indusekhar and R. Rangarajan, React. funct. Polym. 28 (1996) 243], the experimental results on the conversion of sodium acetate to acetic acid and sodium hydroxide under different experimental conditions are discussed.
