Electrodialysis (ED) has been used as a membrane technique to concentrate tartaric acid from ion exchange regeneration waters obtained in grape juice treatment. The initial ion tartrate concentration in these streams varies between 1 and 10 kg m~3 and can be concentrated more than 60% (53Γ2 kg m~3 a

Abstract
The recovery of tartaric acid (TA) from three industrial enological wastes: (i) cream of tartar, (ii) lees, and (iii) eluates from the regeneration of anion exchange resins used for the production of grape liquid sugar, was studied. Recovery of TA ranged between 58 and 99%, the highest being from cream of tartar. The level of addition of calcium salts is important to improve the recovery of calcium tartrate from lees and eluates. A significant inverse correlation between TA recovery and the percentage of organic acids, except for tartaric acid, was found; this index may help to optimize the level of calcium addition. Enological eluates would represent a commercial source of malic acid (recovery of 51%).

## Abstract A method of recovery of the organic compounds: dichloropropanols, epichlorohydrin, 1,2,3βtrichloropropane from epichlorohydrin plant waste has been performed. The method depends on the adsorption of organic compounds in the active carbon and their desorption by allyl chloride. Allyl chl
A process is described which enables the removal of sulphuric acid from effluents without the addition of chemicals to the effluent. The technique employs an anion selective membrane which separates the acidic effluent from a lime solution. In the case where no current is applied, facilitated tran
