In the electric deionization apparatus of Japanese Patent Publication No. 4-72567, since the deionization chamber is divided into vertically elongated small chambers, the number of small chambers is limited. That is, too many small chambers cannot be formed. Moreover, since the rib blocks the flow of water in the left-right direction, the contact efficiency between the water and the ion exchange resin is poor. Further, the ion exchange resin is compressed in the lower part of the small chamber, and there is a gap in the upper part, so that the filling rate of the ion exchange resin tends to be low.

For example, when city water is treated by a reverse osmosis membrane device and the permeated water is treated by an electric deionization device, deionized water having a specific resistance value of about 10 MΩ · cm is obtained. However, when the carbon dioxide concentration of the feed water is as high as 10 ppm or more, the specific resistance value decreases to 1 to 5 MΩ · cm. Therefore, in order to obtain treated water having a high specific resistance value, a decarbonation device must be installed in advance before the electric deionization device.

The removal mechanism of carbonic acid, which is a weak electrolyte, in an electric deionization apparatus is considered as follows. Carbonic acid (CO 2 ) of the water to be treated is converted into bicarbonate ion (CO 2 + OH → HCO 3 ) by an ionization reaction with hydroxide ion (OH ) in the electric deionization apparatus.

The places where this water dissociation occurs are between the ion exchange resins and between the ion exchange resin and the ion exchange membranes. Of these, hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions generated between the ion exchange resins are re-associated in the desalting chamber, so that their life is short. Therefore, as OH for the ionization of carbonic acid, OH ions generated between the ion exchange membrane and the ion exchange resin, particularly between the cation exchange membrane and the anion exchange resin are effective. Therefore, for example, if the ratio of the anion exchange resin is increased from 60% to 70%, the contact ratio of the anion resin to the cation exchange membrane is about 17%.
%, And the amount of generated OH ions also increases. As a result, the ionization reaction of carbonic acid is promoted. If the ratio of the anion exchange resin is increased to 80%, OH
- ion generation amount further increases, removal of the Na + ions is decreased because the H + ions is too reduced, deteriorating the resistivity of the treated water.

This ionized bicarbonate ion must be promptly moved to the concentration chamber. Increasing the proportion of anion exchange resin from 60% to 70% increases the rate of migration through the anion exchange resin by a factor of about 3. As a result, the mobility of carbonic acid ions is improved, and thus the carbonic acid removing property is improved.
However, since the ratio of the cation exchange resin is reduced, Na + leak is caused and the specific resistance is deteriorated.

When the desalination operation is performed by passing water through this electric deionization apparatus, the raw water flowing into the desalination chamber passes through the partition member 21 surrounding the small chamber 22 as shown in FIG.
And gradually flows downward, during which it is subjected to deionization. Finally, it reached the bottom of the desalination chamber, and the waterway 2
It flows into the hole 28 for taking out demineralized water via 8a, and is taken out of the electric deionization device as demineralized water.

The average flow direction of water in this desalination chamber is that a water channel 26a for inflowing raw water exists at the upper part of the frame 20 and a water channel 28a for taking out demineralized water exists at the lower part of the frame 20, The vertical direction is from top to bottom. Since the upper and lower parts of the small chamber are inclined with respect to this average water flow direction, the water to be treated is contained in one small chamber 22.
To the small chambers 22 on the left and the right side, the flow is divided diagonally. For this reason, the water to be treated is distributed in each of the small chambers 22 almost evenly, and the contact efficiency between the water to be treated and the ion exchange resin is improved.

In this desalting chamber, the small chamber 22 is relatively small, and the downward pressure applied to the ion exchange resin in each small chamber 22 is small due to its own weight and water pressure. Therefore, the ion exchange resin is not compressed in any of the small chambers 22, and the ion exchange resin is not locally compacted in the lower portion of the small chamber.

When the proportion of the anion exchange resin is less than 60% by volume, the amount of OH produced by the dissociation of water is insufficient, the ionization of carbonic acid into bicarbonate ion is insufficient, and the effect of removing carbonic acid is lowered. On the other hand, when the proportion of the anion exchange resin is more than 80% by volume, the efficiency of removing cations such as Na + ions is deteriorated and the concentration of Na + ions and the like in the treated water is increased. When the amount of the anion exchange resin is in the range of 60 to 80% by volume, preferably 65 to 75% by volume, the removal of carbonic acid, Na + ions and the like is sufficiently performed, and the ionization of silica, which is a weak acid, is promoted, resulting in silica. The removal rate is also high.

The distance between the pair of anion exchange membrane and cation exchange membrane that sandwich the desalting chamber, that is, the thickness of the desalting chamber is preferably 1.5 to 15 mm, particularly 3 to 10 mm. In addition, the smaller the small chamber, the smaller the amount of the ion exchange resin filled in one small chamber, and the flow of the ion exchange resin is suppressed.
Although the strength of the partition member and the desalting chamber also increases, the water pressure loss in the desalting chamber increases.

Since the cathode chamber is generally alkaline, acidic anode water that has normally passed through the anode chamber is supplied and neutralized in the cathode chamber to partially become pure water. Therefore, the conductivity of the cathode chamber is lowered, the voltage is locally increased, and scale is likely to occur. In order to avoid this situation, it is preferable to prevent the generation of scale by increasing the electrode area by using a mesh electrode or a non-woven fabric electrode alone or in combination as the cathode and decreasing the current density on the electrode surface.
