Electrodeionization (EDI) is a water treatment technology that utilizes DC power, ion exchange membranes, and ion exchange resin to deionize water. EDI is typically employed as a polishing treatment following reverse osmosis (RO), and is used in the production of ultrapure water. It differs from other RO polishing methods, like chemically regenerated mixed beds, by operating continuously without chemical regeneration.[1]
Electrodeionization can be used to produce high purity water, reaching electrical resistivity values as high as 18.2 MΩ/cm.
Electrodeionization (EDI) integrates three distinct processes:
Electrolysis: A continuous DC current directs positive and negative ions toward electrodes with opposing electrical charges. The electrical potential draws anions and cations from diluting chambers, through cation or anion exchange membranes, into concentrating chambers.
Ion exchange: An ion exchange resin fills the diluting chambers. As water flows through the resin bed, cations and anions become affixed to resin sites.
Electrochemical regeneration: Unlike chemically regenerated mixed beds, EDI accomplishes regeneration through water splitting induced by the continuous electric current. Water splits from H2O into H+ and OH- to effectively regenerate the resin without the need for external chemical additives.
EDI is sometimes labeled "continuous electrodeionization" (CEDI) because the electric current continually regenerates the ion exchange resin mass.
