  • Publication number: 20200189941
    Abstract: Drainage water that includes anions and cations dissolved in water and that is received from an agricultural or industrial facility is treated by applying a voltage to an anode and a cathode on opposite sides of an electrically driven separation apparatus that further includes at least one monovalent-selective ion exchange membrane between the anode and the cathode. The drainage water is passed through the electrically driven separation apparatus, wherein monovalent ions are selected from the drainage water through the monovalent-selective ion exchange membrane. The drainage water is then recirculated as treated water through the facility after the monovalent ions are removed.
