Abstract: Membrane separation technology is a phase-change-free, low-energy, high-efficiency water treatment technology, which has been widely used in the fields of seawater desalination, drinking water treatment, deep treatment of sewage and industrial separation. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) has the advantages of in-situ, fast, non-destructive and reproducible, etc. By fitting the feedback signal to the equivalent circuit, it can investigate the distribution state and migration behavior of ions on the membrane surface and inside the membrane pores, and it is a powerful method for in-depth study of the constitutive relationship and operational status of water treatment separation membranes. This paper briefly describes the basic principles of EIS technology applied to the study of water treatment separation membranes, on this basis, the progress of the application of EIS technology in the study of membrane structure, membrane performance and the problems of concentration polarization and membrane contamination generated in the membrane process is reviewed. Finally, it is summarized and the outlook of its development is made, with a view to providing a reference for more in-depth research on water treatment separation membranes using EIS technology.
