  "term": "Electro-dialysis",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A membrane separation process that uses an electric potential difference to drive ions across ion-exchange membranes, separating them from uncharged species or other ions. Cation-exchange membranes and anion-exchange membranes are arranged alternately between electrodes. This technique is commonly used for desalination of water and demineralization of solutions.",
