Abstract
The Bayer red mud (RM) and phosphogypsum (PG) accumulation have caused significant environmental contamination. However, practical and effective resource utilization technologies are still lacking currently. This work aims to develop ferric sulfoaluminate cement (FSAC) employing low-cost materials including Bayer red mud, phosphogypsum, and other materials. This method effectively improves the utilization rate of Bayer red mud and phosphogypsum. Under the premise of ensuring the performance of FSAC, the utilization rate of solid waste can reach up to 48.56%. The effects of different red mud dosages on cement mineral formation, workability, and mechanical properties are investigated. Then, untreated phosphogypsum is adopted as a retarder for FSAC, and the hydration process, working properties, mechanical properties, types of hydration products, and morphology of FSAC are explored. The results suggest that the crystal transformation of Ye'elemiteC 4 A 3 S ¯ is promoted with the increase of Bayer red mud content. Cubic crystal system Ye'elemiteC 4 A 3 S ¯ - c with higher hydration activity is generated, which increases the early strength of cement but greatly reduces the setting time, hindering the later strength growth. Untreated phosphogypsum can effectively delay the early hydration process of FSAC, prolong the setting time of cement, and increase the strength of FSAC in the later stage. When the dosage of Bayer red mud and phosphogypsum is 17.64% and 9.21%, respectively, with phosphogypsum dosage of 20%, the prepared FSAC has satisfactory mechanical properties, and the 3-day and 90-day compressive strengths are 34.6 MPa and 57.1 MPa, respectively. In addition, the study of heavy metal leaching indicates that the FSAC prepared by Bayer red mud, phosphogypsum, and other raw materials will generate no environment pollution, and the solidification of heavy metal elements in the cement slurry is superior.

Red mud with enhanced dealkalization performance by supercritical water technology for efficient SO 2 capture. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2023; 344:118469. [PMID: 37393878 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2023.118469] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2023] [Revised: 06/06/2023] [Accepted: 06/19/2023] [Indexed: 07/04/2023]
Abstract
The total de-alkalization treatment of industrial solid waste red mud (RM) has been a worldwide challenge. Removing the insoluble structural alkali fraction from RM is the key to enhancing the sustainable utilization of RM resources. In this paper, supercritical water (SCW) and leaching agents were used for the first time to de-alkalize the Bayer RM and to remove sulfur dioxide (SO2) from flue gas with the de-alkalized RM slurry. The results showed that the optimum alkali removal and Fe leaching rates of RM-CaO-SW slurry were 97.90 ± 0.88% and 82.70 ± 0.95%, respectively. Results confirmed that the SCW technique accelerated the disruption of (Al-O) and (Si-O) bonds and the structural disintegration of aluminosilicate minerals, facilitating the conversion of insoluble structural alkalis to soluble chemical alkalis. The exchangeable Ca2+ displaced Na+ in the remaining insoluble base, producing soluble sodium salts or alkalis. CaO consumed SiO2, which was tightly bound to Fe2O3 in RM, and released Fe2O3, which promoted Fe leaching. RM-SCW showed the best desulfurization performance, which maintained 88.99 ± 0.0020% at 450 min, followed by RM-CaO-SW (450 min, 60.75 ± 6.00%) and RM (180 min, 88.52% ± 0.00068). The neutralization of alkaline components, the redox of metal oxides, and the liquid-phase catalytic oxidation of Fe contributed to the excellent desulfurization performance of the RM-SCW slurry. A promising approach shown in this study is beneficial to RM waste use, SO2 pollution control, and sustainable growth of the aluminum industry.

Abstract
Electrolytic manganese residue (EMR) and red mud (RM) are solid waste by-products of the metal manganese and alumina industries, respectively. Under long-term open storage, ammonia nitrogen and soluble manganese ions in EMR and alkaline substances in RM severely pollute and harm the environment. In order to alleviate the pollution problem of EMR and RM. In this study, the alkaline substances in RM were used to treat ammonia nitrogen and soluble manganese ions in EMR. The results confirm the following suitable treatment conditions for the mutual treatment of EMR and RM: EMR-RM mass ratio = 1:1, liquid-solid ratio = 1.4:1, and stirring time = 320 min. Under these conditions, the elimination ratios of ammonia nitrogen (emitted in the form of ammonia gas) and soluble manganese ions (solidified in the form of Mn3.88O7(OH) and KMn8O16) are 85.87 and 86.63%, respectively. Moreover, the alkaline substances in RM are converted into neutral salts (Na2SO4 and Mg3O(CO3)2), achieving de-alkalinisation. The treatment method can also solidify the heavy metal ions-Cr3+, Cu2+, Ni2+, and Zn2+-present in the waste residue with leaching concentrations of 1.45 mg/L, 0.099 mg/L, 0.294 mg/L, and 0.449 mg/L, respectively. This satisfies the requirements of the Chinese standard GB5085.3-2007. In the mutual treatment of EMR and RM, the kinetics of ammonia nitrogen removal and manganese-ion solidification reactions are controlled via a combination of membrane diffusion and chemical reaction mechanisms.

Abstract
Red mud (RM) cementitious materials were prepared with the thermally, thermoalkali- or thermocalcium-activated RM, steel slag (SS), and other additives. The effects of different thermal RM activation methods on the cementitious material hydration mechanisms, mechanical properties, and environmental risks were discussed and analyzed. The results showed that the hydration products of different thermally activated RM samples were similar with the main products being C-S-H, tobermorite, and Ca(OH)2. Ca(OH)2 was mainly present in thermally activated RM samples, and the tobermorite was mainly produced by samples prepared with thermoalkali- and the thermocalcium-activated RM. The mechanical properties of the samples prepared by thermally and thermocalcium-activated RM had early-strength properties, while the thermoalkali-activated RM samples were similar to the late-strength type of cement properties. The average flexural strength of thermally and the thermocalcium-activated RM samples at 14 days were 3.75 MPa and 3.87 MPa respectively, whereas, the 1000 °C thermoalkali-activated RM samples only at 28 days was 3.26 MPa; the above data could reach the single flexural strength (3.0 MPa) of the first-grade pavement blocks of the building materials industry standard of the People's Republic of China-concrete pavement blocks (JC/T446-2000). The optimal preactivated temperature for different thermally activated RM was different; the optimal preactivated temperature for both thermally and thermocalcium-activated RM was 900 °C, and the flexural strength was 4.46 MPa and 4.35 MPa, respectively. However, the optimal preactivated temperature of thermoalkali activated RM at 1000 °C. The 900 °C thermally activated RM samples had better solidified effects for heavy metal elements and alkali substances. 600~800℃ thermoalkali activated RM samples had better solidified effects for heavy metal elements. Different temperatures of thermocalcium-activated RM samples showed different solidified effects on different heavy metal elements, which may be due to the influence of thermocalcium activation temperature on the structural changes of the hydration products of the cementitious samples. In this study, three thermal RM activation methods were proposed, and the co-hydration mechanism and environmental risk study of different thermally activated RM and SS were further elucidated. This not only provides an effective method for the pretreatment and safe utilization of RM, but also facilitates the synergistic resource treatment of solid waste and further promotes the research process of replacing part of traditional cement with solid waste.

Abstract
This work aims to develop a modulation strategy for converting red mud (RM) into cementitious material based on elucidating the phase transformation of hydrogarnet. The results show that cementitious minerals 2CaO·SiO2 (C2S), 12CaO·7Al2O3 (C12A7), and 4CaO·Al2O3·Fe2O3 (C4AF), as well as the free iron minerals Fe and FeO, are formed by integrating calcification dealkalization and reduction roasting treatment of RM. During the reduction roasting process, CaO is preferentially combined with SiO2 and Al2O3 to form cementitious minerals, and the Fe(III) compounds in hydrogarnet and hematite can be directly reduced to free iron minerals without intermediate ferrites. By optimizing the reduction roasting parameters and eliminating the useless minerals 2CaO·Al2O3·SiO2 (C2AS), and FeO, the reduction roasting product is mainly composed of C2S, C12A7, C4AF, and Fe. Therefore, cementitious material is obtained after the magnetic separation of Fe, which possesses both early and late hydration properties. In addition, 75% Fe in RM can be recovered, and the reduced iron powder (RIP) is also useful in the cement clinker production or steel smelting process. The findings in this work lay the foundations for understanding the phase transformation of RM-derived hydrogarnet in the reduction roasting process and also provide a new reference for the modulation and utilization of RM in the cement and concrete field.

Abstract
Red mud is a kind of strong alkaline hazardous slag discharged from aluminum metallurgy industry. In this study, the water immersion with high temperature and high pressure was developed for the selective dealkalization from red mud by adding Mg-based additives. The removal efficiency of alkali could reach 92% by using 12% MgCl2 with 9 mL/g at 250 °C for 60 min. The MgCl2 was the most effective leaching reagent to promote the decomposion of cancrinite lattice. The new minerals bearing Mg, i.e., chlorite (Mg5Al2Si3O10(OH)8) and pyrope (Mg3Al2Si3O12) could be formed, which was in favor of transforming the structural alkali into the free alkali by the analysis and validation of XRD and SEM-EDS. The dealkalization process was mainly controlled by chemical reactions according to the analysis of unreacted shrinking core model (USCM) of leaching kinetics. The leaching kinetics equation of 1 - (1 - x)1/3 = 32.2 × exp[4582.6 / T] × t was built and the apparent activation energy of 38.1 kJ/mol was obtained. This method may provide a new and cleaner way for the efficient dealkalization of red mud and a basis for the utilization of leaching residue as the soil amendment.

Abstract
The Bayer red mud is the solid waste generated during the production of alumina by the Bayer process. At present, the stock of red mud in China exceeds 1.1 billion tons, covering an area of more than 120,000 mu, and the annual production volume is increasing by 100 million tons. The comprehensive utilization of red mud is still a difficult problem. Therefore, it is of great significance to actively explore new methods for removing sodium from red mud. In this study, the traditional red mud desalination process and the slurry electrolysis process are combined, and the influence of three different leaching agents on the leaching and sodium removal of red mud slurry in the presence of an electric field is explored. In the slurry electrolysis experiment, it was found that the sodium removal rate obtained by different leaching agents was CaO > CaCl2 > HCl. The red mud leached with pure dilute hydrochloric acid has the highest Na removal rate, which is 93.11%. In view of this situation, a pre-slurry-electrolysis cycle process with HCl as leaching agent was proposed. The core of slurry electrolysis is electrolyzing NaCl solution, and HCl only participates in the process as circulating medium. The design of this process reduces cost and increases efficiency.

Alkali Recovery of Bauxite Residue by Calcification. MINERALS 2022. [DOI: 10.3390/min12050636] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/10/2022]
Abstract
Bauxite residue (red mud) generated during alumina production is a highly alkaline solid waste. The red mud is mainly stored on land, but it can cause harm to the surrounding environment and human health. The transformation of red mud into soil is a feasible method for the large-scale disposal of red mud, but alkali removal is the key process that controls the transformation of red mud into soil. In this study, the calcification dealkalization of red mud with a small particle size was carried out below 100 °C. The results show that the sodium in red mud is predominately distributed in small particles, mainly because the lattice alkali and alkali present between the crystals are exposed to the surface of red mud particles by ball milling. The dealkalization process was controlled by the internal diffusion of the shrinking-core model (SCM), and the apparent activation energy was 23.55 kJ/mol. The dealkalization rate and the Na2O content of dealkalized red mud reached 92.44% and 0.61%, respectively. The dealkalization rate increased with increasing reaction time, reactant concentration, and leaching temperature, and this result was consistent with the results of the kinetic study. In addition, calcification enhances the flocculation of particles, so the filtration performance of red mud improved.

Abstract
An Mn/Ce@red mud (RM) catalyst was prepared from RM via a doping–calcination method. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to characterize the surface morphology, crystal morphology, and elemental composition of the Mn/Ce@RM catalyst, respectively. In addition, preparation and catalytic ozonation conditions were optimized, and the mechanism of catalytic ozonation was discussed. Lastly, a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) was adopted to evaluate the degradation of coal chemical biochemical tail water. The best preparation conditions for the Mn/Ce@RM catalyst were found to be as follows: (1) active component loading of 3%, (2) Mn/Ce doping ratio of 2:1, (3) calcination temperature of 550 °C, (4) calcination time of 240 min, and (5) fly ash floating bead doping of 10%. The chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal rate was 76.58% under this preparation condition. The characterization results suggested that the pore structure of the optimized Mn/Ce@RM catalyst was significantly improved. Mn and Ce were successfully loaded on the catalyst in the form of MnO2 and CeO2. The best operating conditions in the study were as follows: (1) reaction time of 80 min, (2) initial pH of 9, (3) ozone dosage of 2.0 g/h, (4) catalyst dosage of 62.5 g/L, and (5) COD removal rate of 84.96%. Mechanism analysis results showed that hydroxyl radicals (•OH) played a leading role in degrading organics in the biochemical tail water, and adsorption of RM and direct oxidation of ozone played a secondary role. FAHP was established on the basis of environmental impact, economic benefit, and energy consumption. Comprehensive evaluation by FAHP demonstrated that D3 (with an ozone dosage of 2.0 g/H, a catalyst dosage of 62.5 g/L, initial pH of 9, reaction time of 80 min, and a COD removal rate of 84.96%) was the best operating condition.

Abstract
Dealkalization is the necessary step for the multipurpose use of red mud (RM), and acid leaching is a productive method to realize the dealkalization of RM. Most researches focus on recovering metals from the highly alkaline waste by pure acid leaching or stabilization by dealkalization. In this study, according to the strong alkalinity of RM and strong acidity of the waste acid from titanium dioxide production, the waste acid was used for the dealkalization of RM. The effects of leaching temperature, reaction time, the concentration of waste acid, liquid-solid ratio (L/S), and stirring rate on the dealkalization of RM were investigated, and the main metal ions in the dealkalization solution were analyzed. The results show that the leaching ratio of sodium can reach 92.3591% when the leaching temperature is 30 °C, the reaction time is 10 min, the concentration of waste acid is 0.6238 mol/L, the L/S is 4:1, and the stirring rate is 300 rpm. The residual alkali content in the treated RM is 0.2674%, which is a reduction to less than 1%. The phase analysis results show that the sodalite and cancrinite in RM are dissolved, decomposed, and transformed after acid leaching. Therefore, RM meets the requirements of building materials after dealkalization, which provides further development as building material products.

Abstract
Red mud contains high levels of fluorine compounds. Once these fluorides were released, which led to adverse effects on human health and environment. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible use-electrokinetic remediation (EKR) for the removal of fluorine from red mud and explore the effects of different electrolytes on the remediation process. Three runs of EKR experiments were chosen using distilled water (run A), 0.1 mol/L HCl (run B) and 0.1 mol/L NaOH (run C), respectively. Related parameters for EKR, such as electric current, electro-osmotic flow (EOF) and energy consumption, were analysed. Characterisations of red mud were studied by SEM, XRD and FTIR. Experimental results showed that EKR could effectively remove fluorine pollutants from red mud. Electrolyte can obviously affect fluorine removal in EKR. The removal efficiency of run A, B and C was 57.69%, 66.75%, 60.04%, respectively, and run B (adding 0.1 mol HCl) had the best removal efficiency and the lowest residual fluorine in treated red mud after EKR, because of the highest electric current and EOF in all runs. Energy consumption per kilogram dry red mud of run A, B and C was 0.370, 0.726, and 0.506 kWh/kg, respectively. Experimental results showed that electro-osmosis and electromigration were both important removal mechanisms in EKR of fluorine from red mud. After EKR, the proportion of RESF (the residual fraction of fluorine) increased significantly, now fluorine of treated red mud had a good chemical inertness and had a smaller influence on environment.

Abstract
Bauxite residues, a large volume solid waste, are in urgent need of effective disposal and management. Especially, strategies to alleviate the high alkalinity of bauxite residue remain a big challenge. Here, we developed a synergistic pyrolysis to neutralize the alkalinity of bauxite residue and upgrade the structure of biomass simultaneously. By cooperating the catalytic feature from bauxite residue, rice straw, a cellulose-enriched biomass, could prefer to produce acidic components under a hypothermal pyrolysis temperature (below 250 °C) and partial oxygen-contained atmosphere as evidenced by the synchronous TGA-FTIR analysis. In return, these in-situ produced acidic components neutralized the bauxite residue profoundly (pH decreased from 11.5 to 7.2) to obtain a neutral product with long-term water leaching stability. Also, a higher pyrolysis temperature led to neutral biochar-based products with well-defined carbonization characteristics. Thus, the biomass-driven pyrolysis strategy provides a potential to dispose the alkalinity issue of bauxite residue and further opportunities for the sustainable reuse and continuing management of bauxite residue.

Abstract
Bauxite residue, a byproduct of alumina manufacture, is a serious environmental pollutant due to its high leaching contents of metals and caustic compounds. Four typical anions of CO32-, HCO3-, Al(OH)4- and OH- (represented caustic compounds) and metal ions (As, B, Mo and V) were selected to assess their leaching behavior under dealkalization process with different conditions including liquid/solid ratio (L/S ratio), temperature and leaching time. The results revealed that washing process could remove the soluble composition in bauxite residue effectively. The leaching concentrations of typical anions in bauxite residue decreased as follows: c(CO32-) > c(HCO3-) > c[Al(OH)4-] > c(OH-). L/S ratio had a more significant effect on leaching behavior of OH-, whilst the leaching concentration of Al(OH)4- varied larger underleaching temperature and time treatment. Under the optimal leaching, the total alkaline, soluble Na concentrations, exchangeable Ca concentrations were 79.52, 68.93, and 136.0 mmol/L, respectively, whilst the soluble and exchangeable content of As, B, Mo and V in bauxite residue changed slightly. However, it should be noted that water leaching has released metal ions such as As, B, Mo and V in bauxite residue to the surrounding environment. The semiquantitative analysis of XRD revealed that water leaching increased the content of gismondine from 2.4% to 6.4%. The SEM images demonstrated the dissolution of caustic compounds on bauxite residue surface. The correlation analysis indicated that CO32- and HCO3- could effectively reflect the alkalinity of bauxite residue, and may be regarded as critical dealkalization indicators to evaluate alkalinity removal in bauxite residue.

Physicochemical and Microstructural Properties of Red Muds under Acidic and Alkaline Conditions. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2020.

Abstract
The main purpose of this study was to characterize the mineral and chemical composition of typical red muds in China. Changes in the physicochemical and microstructural properties of red muds collected from the Shanxi and Shandong provinces were investigated after they were immersed in an alkaline NaOH or an acidic HCl solution for 7, 28, and 120 days. The results showed that red mud has a high cation exchange capacity and active physicochemical properties, which can be closely related to its extremely high alkalinity and complex microstructure. The neutralization of red mud with the HCl solution results in the release of Na+ from the red mud particles into the leachate and can effectively decrease the pH value of the filtrate. The neutralization process can result in a significant decrease in the liquid limit, plastic limit and plasticity index, whereas the opposite was observed for the different parameters after the addition of the NaOH solution. In this sense, acid neutralization can significantly improve the cementation property of the red mud. This result will increase the water permeability of the acid-treated soil layer and improve the growth ability of plants. The specific surface area of red mud immersed in the NaOH solution decreased, whereas the specific surface area of red mud immersed in the HCl solution increased. This study contributes to our understanding of red mud properties after the red mud has been subjected to acidic and alkaline treatments, and the results can provide insights into the safe disposal of red mud.

Abstract
Bauxite residue is the by-product of the aluminium industry with an annual output of more than 200 million metric tons in China. Its treatment is still a big problem because more than 96% of that is stockpiled on land causing environmental pollution and threatening the human health. This study used bauxite residue to remove Cr (Ⅲ) from aqueous solution and analyzed the removal mechanism. The removal time was dependent on the initial concentrations of Cr (Ⅲ) and different active components acted on different reaction period. Reaction time increased from <5 min to >2 h with an increase of Cr (Ⅲ) concentration from 5 to 100 and 170 mg/L. The existing forms of adsorbed-Cr were iron oxide-bound Cr (40.80%-87.85%), sulfide-bound Cr (4.04%-20.28%) and residue (6.60%-33.72%). All the components started to react as soon as bauxite residue was added. Cr did not precipitate in the presence of high alkalinity bauxite residue due to the slow release of alkalinity maintaining pH < 6, thus producing Cr(OH)2+, Cr2(OH)24+ and Cr3(OH)45+ by hydrolysis without precipitation. Fe2O3 and Al-containing components were the main active phases for Cr (Ⅲ) removal, with the reaction time lasting more than 2 h and producing Ca6Al4Cr2O15, AlCr2, (Si, Al)2O4, Fe(Cr, Al)2O4, FeCr2Si3O12, MgCr0·1Fe1·9O4 and MgCr0·4Fe1·6O4. Finally, bauxite residue was granulated and used for column tests. Cr (Ⅲ) wastewater (1 and 50 mg/L) was treated and the effluent can meet the first level of the Shanghai standard (0.1 mg/L) defined by Integrated Wastewater Discharge Standard (DB 31/199-2009).

Abstract
The chemical and mineral composition of the red mud from the Ural Aluminum Plant were studied by XRF, XRD, and Mössbauer spectroscopy. Experiments on reductive smelting of red mud were carried out in a range of temperatures (1650–1750 °C) to recover iron from the aluminum production waste with maximum efficiency. It was found that it is possible to obtain pig iron with a high content of titanium, phosphorus, and vanadium, and low sulfur content. The efficiency of iron recovery at 1750 °C was found to be around 98%. Thermodynamic calculations were carried out to assist in finding the optimal conditions for the process (e.g., carbon content, furnace temperature, slag liquidus temperature). It was also found that the pig iron phase obtained at 1650 to 1700 °C is not separated from the slag phase into ingot compared with the sample obtained at 1750 °C. Pig iron obtained at 1750 °C can be used to produce molds for the steel-casting equipment.

Abstract
Effective neutralization of strongly alkaline conditions in bauxite residues (BR) is the fundamental step to initiate the process of eco-engineering BR into growth substrate (or soil-like medium) for direct phytostabilization with pioneer plant species. The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of microbial decomposition of organic matter (OM) (i.e., biomass residues) in neutralizing the strong alkalinity of residues under saturated conditions, together with the regulatory role of calcium sulfate (CaSO4) addition. Admixing OM (i.e., sugarcane mulch, Lucerne hay) alone in the BR significantly lowered the porewater pH from 11.4 to around 9.0 by Day 7, which persisted until the end of incubation (Day 28). The pH reduction in the porewater of OM-amended BR coincided with the production of acidic organic compounds (mainly acetic acid). Diverse species of organotrophic bacteria (e.g., Enterobacteriales, Pasteurellales, Lactobacillales, and Streptophyta) were found to have colonized in the OM-amended BR, but which were dominated by haloalkaliphilic bacteria (e.g., Halomonas and Bacillaceae). The CaSO4 addition in the OM-amended BR further lowered pH to 8.3 in the porewater. Besides, the bioneutralization effects resulted in dramatic reduction (>90%) of soluble Al in the porewater, which is a prerequisite to lowering Al toxicity in plants. At the same time, the levels of major cations (i.e., K, Ca, Mg) in the porewater were elevated by the OM + CaSO4 amendment, which would facilitate subsequent leaching of these soluble salts to lower the salinity in the BR, and improve the diversity of organotrophic bacterial communities in the amended BR.

Abstract
Bauxite residue, a major by-product of the alumina-producing Bayer process, is a serious environmental pollutant due to its high alkalinity. Here, we reported an operation system designed in our laboratory that included washing and electrodialysis dealkalization systems with aeration pipes. Washing with aeration releases a substantial amount of free alkali and attached alkali into water and increases the dealkalization efficiency. The washing liquid was treated with five steps of batch-mode electrodialysis. The average removal of total dissolved solids (TDS) after the aeration and non-aeration electrodialysis processes were 61.30% and 39.61%, respectively. The average removal of OH- under aeration conditions was 76.62%, a value that was greater than the value produced under non-aeration conditions (68.48%). This efficiency was also higher than that of some other reports (64.90-68.50%). Aeration decreased the energy consumption to a greater extent than the non-aeration condition. NaOH was recovered in terms of the concentration chamber, and the NaAl(OH)4 present in the dilution chamber was separated for the electrodialysis treatment. Membrane scaling was generated to a lesser amount under aeration conditions than that of non-aeration conditions, which would improve the dealkalization efficiency. The high repeatability of the experiments was indicated by the intraclass correlation coefficient (P < 0.05).
