EleTher JIP: an industrial community to better understand thermodynamic electrolyte models

Electrolyte Thermodynamics (EleTher) is known to be one of the key challenges for developing many industrial processes. To take up this challenge, the EleTher Joint Industry Project (JIP) aimed at creating a community of practice on electrolytes modeling. After three years of collaboration and research, significant progress has been made on the understanding of fluids with electrolytic species.
