Abstract
The paper demonstrated the importance of research into the development of the methods for the removal of boron from aqueous solutions determined both by ecological and economic reasons. The paper has investigated the possibilities of the electrodialysis method and reverse osmosis in terms of separation or concentration of boron-containing solutions obtained in the course of regenerating boron-selective sorbents with the aim of creating the sorption-membrane “green” technology of removing boron from natural and waste waters. We have developed a general technological flowchart of sorption-membrane utilization of boron from the waters in question.Keywords
