A performance study of four different cation-exchange membranes was conducted on laboratory and pilot scale (172 cm2/membrane, model CS-0 from Asahi Glass Co.) electrodialysis cells, using Neosepta CMS from Tokuyama Soda Co.; Morgane CRA from Solvay; Selemion CHV from Asahi Glass Co. and Nafion 117 from DuPont, coupled with a Morgane ARA 17-10 anion-exchange membrane. Comparisons were made of the sulphuric acid recovery rate, water transport, metal leakage and energy intake for these membranes. Proton permselectivity and metal leakage, co- and counter-ion transport numbers of the CMS membrane were investigated using Hittorf's method and radiotracer methods. This study shows that electrodialysis is suitable for the treatment of zinc hydrometallurgy effluents. However, R&D work must still be done in order to improve and optimize the technology for its use in future industrial applications. In particular, research efforts must concentrate on the synthesis of affordable and stable cation-exchange membranes showing high selectivity towards protons.
