Abstract
The electrodialytic water-splitting technology using bipolar membrane is an attractive cost-effective process for the production of acids an d alkalies from the corresponding salts occurring in waste waters. Ear lier report by us described the preparation of bipolar membranes and i ts application in converting sodium sulfate into sulfuric acid and sod ium 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 resu lts on the conversion of sodium acetate to acetic acid and sodium hydr oxide under different experimental conditions are discussed.
