Description
Technical Field
The utility model relates to the field of capacitive deionization, in particular to a capacitive deionization device with foam electrodes.
Background
The seawater occupies 71 percent of the earth surface area, is inexhaustible and is the best water source for obtaining fresh water. However, it is difficult to directly obtain fresh water from seawater due to the high concentration of sea salt, a series of toxic substances and organic substances in seawater. Many seawater desalination technologies exist in the market, such as Reverse Osmosis (RO), multistage flash evaporation (MSF) and Electrodialysis (ED), but these technologies also have many disadvantages, such as reverse osmosis requires water treatment under high pressure, high energy consumption, short equipment life, poor acid and alkali resistance; the multistage flash evaporation technology needs a high-temperature environment, the energy consumption is high, and the water purification speed is low. The capacitive deionization technology is that active adsorption materials are added on the basis of electrodialysis, and salt ions in water are removed by utilizing the electric adsorption effect to achieve the water purification effect. Compared with the method using pure metal as a current collector, the capacitive deionization technology has stronger adsorption force and larger adsorption capacity, and better purification effect, and the technology is completed at normal temperature and normal pressure, does not use special environmental conditions, has simple equipment, low process cost, energy conservation and environmental protection, and has unique advantages. In addition, the capacitive deionization device can resist acid and alkali and corrosion, can be regenerated in situ by connecting the electrode adsorption material reversely through voltage, and is a unique seawater desalination technology.
The existing capacitance deionization technology of the fixed electrode can not achieve large adsorption capacity, and the regeneration can be realized by in-situ desorption of salt ions by electrode materials, so that continuous desalination can not be realized. Therefore, a flow electrode capacitance deionization technology has appeared, in which a fixed electrode adsorption material is changed into a liquid material, electrode liquid using positive and negative electrodes is neutralized outside the device, and salt ions are automatically desalted into an electrolyte. The advantages of this technique are: the quantity of the electrode adsorbing materials is enlarged, and the adsorption capacity and the adsorption rate of salt ions can be greatly enlarged; and secondly, the positive electrode liquid and the negative electrode liquid run out of the device and can be automatically neutralized, so that salt ions are automatically desorbed into electrolyte, do not occupy adsorption sites of the material, and the in-situ regeneration of the electrode is realized.
Capacitive deionization devices have been developed for over thirty years, with active materials evolving from initial carbon aerogels to final carbon-based nanomaterials with gradually optimized properties. Capacitive deionization technology has been developed from the initial brackish water desalination to the seawater desalination level and has achieved the selective extraction of salt ions from water, which is not currently possible with water treatment technology. The carbon-based nano material is generally accepted by an activated carbon material at present, and the activated carbon has the advantages of abundant yield on the earth, simple preparation, low manufacturing cost and universality, and is an industrialized preferred material from the perspective of desalination. The electrode is also the most mature electrode adsorption material of the current flowing electrode capacitance deionization technology.
However, in the current flowing electrode capacitance deionization technology, the contact surface between the electrode liquid and the ion exchange membrane is less, and the desalination efficiency is low.
