Selective ionic separations represent an increasingly important technical area for the strategic interests of the U.S. economy–for example, securing critical minerals and materials and circular economy aspirations that include recovering organic acids from processed biomass. This work disseminates bipolar membrane (BPM) capacitive deionization for selective ionic separations from multicomponent, ionic species mixtures. The selective separations are guided by the Pourbaix diagram and acid–base equilibria principles. BPM capacitive deionization was demonstrated to generate alkaline or acidic process streams depending upon the location of the BPM in the electrochemical cell. The role of system operating parameters, such as the cell voltage, residence time, and feed concentration on effluent stream pH was studied. It was observed that the pH adjustment in BPM-CDI/MCDI (MCDI, membrane capacitive deionization) was more sensitive to the cell voltage when compared to the process stream residence time and salt feed concentration. The BPM-MCDI gave over 6 times higher percentage of copper(II) removal when compared to sodium ion removal from brine mixtures. Lastly, BPM-MCDI demonstrated over 40% greater removal for copper ions from brine mixtures and fivefold higher removal for itaconic acid from brine mixtures when benchmarked against a traditional flow-by-MCDI setup.
