Approaching Capacitive Deionization (CDI) on Desalination of Water and Wastewater - New Progress and its Potential

Article Preview

Abstract:

Capacitive deionization (CDI) technology is a challenge on an economical and effective electrosorption desalination method. The paper analyses the CDI current status and progress of carbon electrode materials, and describes the types of CDI and its performances of testing materials. The electrosorption capacities are summarized on the carbon electrode materials and the current hurdles. The reported numbers from the literature vary in a wide range between 0.25 and 26.42 mg/g of both electrodes CDI cell, we suggest that the CDI electrodes should have an adsorption of at least 9.0 mg/g NaCl when the applyed voltage is 2.0 V. The potential capacitive deionization technologies are proposed here.
