Abstract

The concentration of an acid in a weakly ionized aqueous solution, more particularly the concentration of boric acid in solution in demineralized water from the primary circuit of a pressurized water nuclear reactor, is modified by effecting simultaneously the dissociation of the acid and the electrodialysis of the solution using at least one electrodialysis membrane comprising a polymer support such as PTFE or FEP and having aminated groups introduced for example according to a process comprising a step of grafting.
