Bipolar membrane electrodialysis (BPMED) is an essential process used in various industrial applications, such as water purification and acid/base production. Additionally, advanced BPMED systems are an integral component of larger CO2 sequestration technologies, allowing for ease of pH control within these systems. Improving these systems is vital to mitigating the global effects of climate change. To develop a viable advanced BPMED scheme, it is necessary to acquire bipolar membranes (BPMs) that operate at minimal voltage loss, high current density, and exhibit little ion crossover, while maintaining high performance over an industrially adequate timeframe. Researchers, such as Oener et al., have advanced BPM designs with the introduction of metal oxide catalysts to the interface of the cation- and anion-exchange layers of the BPM. These advanced BPM have shown a significant reduction in the energetic requirements of water dissociation. Applying these findings to BPMED has the potential to significantly improve the efficiency of BPMED systems, however, the BPM electrolyzer used for the development of these BPM are not directly analogous to an electrodialysis system. Thus, I present here a custom-built BPMED system that allows for the assessment of the specific voltage contributions of each component within the overall BPMED system. Using this tool, we aim to identify and address the performance and durability limitations of advanced BPM in BPMED by monitoring signs of degradation, such as blistering and delamination, and by monitoring changes in the potential drop across the BPM as conditions within the BPMED system are manipulated. This will lead to enhanced efficiencies and increased durability in BPMED applications, allowing for its integration into emerging CO2 sequestration systems, as well as other stacked membrane systems.
