Description: Das Projekt "Thematisches Netzwerk zu Elektro-Membranverfahren: Anwendung bipolarer Membranverfahren fuer die Bekaempfung von Umweltverschmutzung und saubere Produktion" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von GKSS-Forschungszentrum Geesthacht, Standort Geesthacht, Institut für Chemie durchgeführt. Electro-membrane processes such as electrodialysis, electrolysis, bipolar membrane technology and diffusion dialysis using charged membranes exhibit a large potential as efficient and economic tools for pollution control in both 'end-of-pipe' treatment and as a process integrated technique. However, the various electro-membrane processes differ significantly in terms of their fundamental process design, the properties of the different components needed, their state of development and their area of application. While e.g. electrodialysis can be considered as a state of the art technique, other processes like diffusion dialysis and bipolar membrane technology are just making their appearances. With increasing environmental problems and restrictions, a major market for these techniques will certainly be present. The chances to develop a European based electro-membrane process industry, which is at this moment relatively small compared to the ones in Japan and the USA, are estimated to be very good. The focus in this Thematic Network will be on the application of bipolar membrane technology in environmental pollution control and cleaner production techniques. As far as coordination of research activities within the network is concerned, emphasis will be given to the following topics: - Preparation and characterisation of bipolar membranes and the corresponding anion and cation exchange membranes for the use in bipolar membrane technology. - Coordination of research activities at institutes and companies in the area of module- and system design for bipolar membrane technology. - Coordination of activities, which are a direct spin-oft of the development of membranes for bipolar membrane Systems, e.g. the use of anion-selective membranes in 'conventional' electro-membrane processes. The objective of the network is the organisation of an efficient collaboration and transfer of knowledge between research organisations, membrane and system manufacturers and the end-users of the technology in Europe. The main activities of the network are: - Transfer of knowledge by organisation of a conference and three workshops in which different aspects of electro-membrane processes will be highlighted, e.g. membrane preparation or system design. - Coordination of exchange of personnel between the participants of the network. - Organizing local or national networks in order to transfer knowledge to companies or institutes outside the network. - Identifying important research topics and coordinate the preparation of proposals for research in the framework of European and national programmes. The collaboration between the participants could be the basis of an extensive research programme concerning the use of electro-membrane processes in general and bipolar membrane technology in particular as a solution for the environmental pollution control and cleaner production techniques.
