In this work CO2 from (synthetic) seawater was captured electrochemically via bipolar membrane electrodialysis. Although previous studies showed promising results regarding energy consumption (kJ/mole CaCO3), inorganic fouling is a drawback, which is why an inorganic fouling control and removal study was done. The effect of applied current density and flowrate on inorganic fouling build-up and dissolved organic carbon removal was investigated for 2 cell pair configurations. For inorganic fouling removal 5 methods were investigated. This research was a proof of concept.
