Abstract
This electrodialysis device comprises: an electrodialyzer stack having a cathode, an anode, and a membrane unit including at least three membranes provided at intervals between the cathode and the anode, wherein a dilution chamber and a concentration chamber is formed between adjacent membranes; a liquid-to-be-treated feed device that causes a liquid to be treated to flow through the dilution chamber to obtain a diluted liquid; a concentrate liquid circulation device for causing a concentrate liquid to be concentrated to circulate through the concentration chamber, a circulation line through which the concentrate liquid flows to return to the concentration chamber after flowing out from the concentration chamber; a drainage line through which the diluted liquid flowing out from the dilution chamber flows; a concentrated solution line for extracting a part of the concentrate liquid circulating through the circulation line from the circulation line; and a narrowing member provided on the circulation line between the branch point at which the concentrated solution line branches from the circulation line and the outlet of the concentration chamber, and which narrows the flow of the concentrate liquid, and/or a narrowing member provided on the drainage line and which narrows the flow of the diluted liquid.
