✦ Synopsis
The performance of three membr~e processes (Donnan dialysis, electrodialysis, electrodeionization) using an ADS-Morgane anion-exchange membrane, was compared to remove nitrate from drinking water. The influence of concentration, current density and flow rate was studied with a 3.10 -3 M nitrate solution to determine the best experimental conditions. Then the membrane processes were applied for the treatment of Montpellier drinking water where the nitrate concentration was increased up to a concentration of 80-100 ppm. In all cases the results showed extraction ratios higher than 80%. With the electrodialysis and electrodeionization techniques, the extraction rate of nitrate was faster than with Donnan dialysis, and a deionized water of high purity was obtained. A nitrate elimination ratio of 99% has been reached with electrodeionization.

## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** There are a number of articles related to removal of boron by electrocoagulation using aluminium electrodes, but there are fewer articles describing the use of magnesium as the anode material. The main disadvantage of aluminium electrodes is the residual aluminium presen
