Application of Electro-Sorption Desalination Technique in Water Treatment

Electro-Sorption Technology (EST) is also known as Capacitive Deionization (CDI). It originated in the late 1990s. Electro-Sorption desalination technology is a new water treatment technology that uses the phenomenon of ions and charged particles adsorbed on the surface of charged electrode to enrich and concentrate dissolved salts and other charged substances in the water on the surface of electrode to realize water purification/desalination. As a new water treatment technology, Electro-Sorption technology (EST) has the characteristics of low inlet water quality, reliable operation, low energy consumption, convenient operation, high water yield and low comprehensive operation cost. The electrode material with high activity is the key to obtain its high performance. According to different water quality conditions, the electrode material which is good for ion adsorption in solution should be studied. The application of this low-energy water purification technology in real life has become a new research hotspot.
