We offer advanced water treatment through Capacitive Deionization or with Electrically Enhanced PCO. In either case, MOST nanoparticle materials bring you effective solutions for Water Purification. Capacitive deionization (CDI) is a developing electrochemical technology for removing charged ions and higher molecular weight uncharged molecules from water. CDI purifies water by electrically removing ions without adding other chemicals. In CDI systems, ions in the feed water flow through a highly porous pair of oppositely charged electrodes. Negatively charged ions are removed at the positive electrode while positively charged ions are attracted to the negative electrode, resulting in a cleaner product water. At some point during treatment, the electrodes become saturated, and no further purification can occur until the electrodes are regenerated by removing the adsorbed ions from the saturated electrodes. Regeneration is often performed by simply turning off the voltage to the electrodes and allowing the adsorbed ions to diffuse back into solution. This process can be improved by incorporating nanoparticle materials prepared by MOST into the electrodes. Performance monitoring of Capacitive Deionization (CDI) test cells for water treatment. MOST provides materials that comprise CDI electrodes.
