The quiet revolution in electrodialysis and lithium recovery
from BlueNotes · host BlueTech Research®
Electrodialysis is making a comeback. Once niche, ED and EDR are being reinvented with smarter membranes, modular stack designs, and solar-powered operation. BlueTech Analyst Dr. Vishal Wagholikar joins Rhys and Divya to explore how these innovations could enable off-grid desalination, resource recovery, and low-cost acid and base generation.The conversation then shifts to policy, with the proposed Advancing Water Reuse Act offering a 30% U.S. tax credit that could transform industrial reuse economics—boosting uptake among data centers, semiconductor plants, and utilities.They close on lithium, spotlighting the UK’s first commercial DLE project and a Veolia patent targeting zero-liquid discharge and circular lithium recovery. Together, these stories reveal where technology, regulation, and resource security now intersect in water innovation.Join us for the upcoming web briefings in November:20 November: Transforming Nitrogen Management: From Cost to Opportunity27th November: Ceramic Membranes: Market & Technology Update 2025--Presented by BlueTech Research®, Actionable Water Technology Market Intelligence.
