The high salinity and nicotine salts are challenging to be addressed by traditional treatment and are a severe threat that ought to be overcome. Thus, proper techniques can regenerate the tobacco stalks into reconstituted tobacco flakes used as cigarette filler. The electrodialysis process has been a viable approach to removing the inorganic ingredients in wastewater. We studied concentration, pH, and co-related influences with the nicotine and sugar\/nicotine contents on the desalination performance. The results show that the inorganic ions such as Cl\u2212, K+, Ca2+, and Mg2+ ions were successfully removed. When the feed concentration ranges from 3 to 15%, the removal ratio of the K+ ions is higher than Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions. As we reported previously, the K+ and Ca2+ ions are unfavorable for the total particulate matter emission but beneficial to decreasing the HCN delivery in mainstream cigarette smoke. Selective ED is a robust technology to reduce the harmful component delivery in cigarette smoke.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/membranes12060597","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,12]],"date-time":"2022-06-12T22:37:20Z","timestamp":1655073440000},"page":"597","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["A Comprehensive Analysis of Inorganic Ions and Their Selective Removal from the Reconstituted Tobacco Extract Using Electrodialysis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Shaolin","family":"Ge","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"IAT USTC-AHZY Joint Laboratory of Chemistry & Combustion, Institute of Advanced Technology, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230088, China"},{"name":"Anhui Key Laboratory of Tobacco Chemistry, Anhui Tobacco Industrial Co., Ltd., 9 Tianda Road, Hefei 230088, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qian","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Applied Engineering Technology Research Center for Functional Membranes, Institute of Advanced Technology, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230088, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhao","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anhui Key Laboratory of Tobacco Chemistry, Anhui Tobacco Industrial Co., Ltd., 9 Tianda Road, Hefei 230088, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Combustion & Pyrolysis Study of CNTC, Anhui Tobacco Industrial Co., Ltd., 9 Tianda Road, Hefei 230088, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shike","family":"She","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Combustion & Pyrolysis Study of CNTC, Anhui Tobacco Industrial Co., Ltd., 9 Tianda Road, Hefei 230088, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bingxia","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anhui Key Laboratory of Tobacco Chemistry, Anhui Tobacco Industrial Co., Ltd., 9 Tianda Road, Hefei 230088, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fei","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anhui Key Laboratory of Tobacco Chemistry, Anhui Tobacco Industrial Co., Ltd., 9 Tianda Road, Hefei 230088, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Noor Ul","family":"Afsar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anhui Provincial Engineering Laboratory of Functional Membrane Materials and Technology, Department of Applied Chemistry, School of Chemistry and Materials Science, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230026, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1222","DOI":"10.1016\/S1671-2927(11)60113-2","article-title":"Comparative analysis on chemical components and sensory quality of aging flue-cured tobacco from four main tobacco areas of China","volume":"10","author":"Sun","year":"2011","journal-title":"Agric.
