DefinitionDefinition

Desalination is the process of removing salt and minerals from salt water to make it suitable for human consumption, irrigation and other fresh water uses.

Introduction of CDI

CDI reactors comprise pairs of porous activated carbon electrodes through which the brine flows.

Introduction of CDI

Adsorption stage

The cations in the aqueous solution are adsorbed on the cathode and the anions are adsorbed on the anode , leaving a deionized solution in the cell, which flows out as freash water.

Desorption

Desorption stage

The electrodes are shorted, leading to ion desorption, thus forming concentrated solutions that are expelled from the cell as waste.

Desorption

Introduction of CDI

Everyone has the accountability to save water and to propagate the concept of treasuring water.

CDI is regarded as a promising desalination process.

Desalination is useful in solving the problem of water shortage.
