A team of Vanderbilt researchers have developed novel technology called electrochemical ion pumping (EIP) that could revolutionize the treatment of water and resource extraction. The research, published in the Oct. 1 issue of Nature Water, overcomes a critical limitation in the commonly used process of conventional electrosorption, which uses electrodes to adsorb and remove ions from water.

AbstractAchieving high selectivity of Li+ and Mg2+ is of paramount importance for effective lithium extraction from brines, and nanofiltration (NF) membrane plays a critical role in this process. The key to achieving high selectivity lies in the on-demand design of NF membrane pores in accordance with the size difference between Li+ and Mg2+ ions, but this poses a huge challenge for traditional NF membranes and difficult to be realized.

Vanderbilt researchers are part of a team that has developed a cutting-edge method that seeks to make the removal of salt from hypersaline industrial wastewater far more energy-efficient and cost-effective. While desalination through reverse osmosis has made tremendous strides—allowing for salt removal from seawater for less than a penny per gallon—it still falls short in eliminating saline in wastewater from industries like mining, oil and gas, and power generation and in inland brackish water.
