  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE MEMBRANE SEPARATION
    Publication number: 20250114746
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for electrically conductive membrane separation from a mixture solution via membrane nanofiltration, electro-filtration, or electro-extraction by: generating an electric field at the membrane filter, holding the membrane filter at a constant electric potential, or driving a constant current through the membrane filter; feeding a mixture solution through the membrane nanofiltration system; and separating a component from the mixture solution into a permeate solution.
