Desalination is becoming a solution for water scarcity in most arid countries where structural water shortage is a permanent phenomenon. One of the applicable methods in desalination is electrodialysis. Electrodialysis involves the transfer of ions from a low salinity stream to a higher salinity stream from diluate to concentrate. In an electrodialysis stack, the dilute (D) feed stream, brine or concentrate (C) stream and electrode (E) stream are allowed to flow through the appropriate cell compartments formed by ion exchange membranes. The aim of this work was to concentrate the highly saline concentrate stream produced from the electrodialysis to extract salts from it instead of pouring it to the sea and save the aquatic life from it.
