Patrick Stenner on Electrodialysis

Evonik is working to scale up electrodialysis for industrial use to drive the green transformation of the chemical industry. The researchers expect better access to key raw materials on a circular basis, as well as simpler and more efficient processes that require fewer resources. Using electrodialysis, salts generated in many chemical processes can be separated and converted back into their valuable starting materials. Expert Patrik Stenner explains the advantages of the technology.

Under Power

Expensive energy sources and raw materials as well as stricter requirements for climate change mitigation require new processes for the production of chemicals. Evonik is therefore exploring ways to make greater use of electrochemical processes and products—and has set up a platform specifically for this purpose

“It works—and it pays off”

Today, most chemical processes function with the help of a chemical catalyst. In the future, progress in the field of electrochemistry could increasingly make electricity alone sufficient to power a chemical reaction, says Professor Siegfried R. Waldvogel from the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion

History of Electrochemistry

In view of the increasing share of renewable energies, electrochemistry is coming into focus. However, it is not a new branch of chemistry, but has a longer history. Here are some milestones.

A green transformation for the chemical industry

There are many ways to make chemical production sustainable. One of these ways is to convert not only the big reactors but also just about everything around them. Managing raw materials, energy or waste flows smartly can be the key to a green future. Evonik wants to demonstrate this with its Herne Green Deal. A site visit
