Membrane capacitive deionization

Membrane capacitive deionization (MCDI) is an ion-removal process based on applying an electrical potential difference across an aqueous solution which flows in between oppositely placed porous electrodes, in front of which ion-exchange membranes are positioned. Due to the applied potential, ions are adsorbed in the electrodes and a product stream with a reduced salt concentration is obtained. Including the membranes in the process has two advantages: first, they block co-ions from leaving the electrodes, thereby increasing the salt removal efficiency of the process, and second, when during ion release a reversed voltage is used, counterions can be more fully flushed from the electrode region, thereby increasing the driving force for ion removal in the next cycle. Here we present pilot-plant experimental data for salt removal in MCDI as function of inlet ionic strength and flow rate. In the subsequent stage of ion release the flow rate is temporarily reduced to zero and the voltage sign reversed. This “stop-flow” operation mode results in a small and concentrated product stream. We present a theoretical process model for MCDI which describes the time-dependent electric current and effluent ion concentration, both during the deionization stage and during the subsequent stage of ion release. The process model describes the MCDI cell as a number of stirred volumes placed in-series, and includes the transport resistance of the ion-exchange membrane and of the stagnant diffusion layer in front of the membrane. Ion storage in the electrodes is described according to the equilibrium Gouy–Chapman–Stern model for the electrostatic double layer.     

Enhanced electrical and mass transfer characteristics of acid-treated carbon nanotubes for capacitive deionization

Capacitive deionization (CDI) has attracted significant attention for the next generation water treatment due to its low energy consumption and environment friendly properties in comparison to widely established methods. For CDI technology to move forward, however, the development of carbon electrodes having superb electrosorption behavior is essential. In this study, we demonstrate the functionalization of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) via acid treatment shows enhanced electrochemical characteristics and effectively improves the wettability of the acid-treated CNTs (a-CNTs) via the addition of oxygen functional groups, leading to a higher electric double layer capacitance. Furthermore, defect formation in a-CNTs increases the conductivity and decreases the mass transfer resistance during CDI operation. CDI measurements confirmed a 270% increase in performance of a-CNTs in contrast to pristine CNTs (p-CNTs), attributable to the improved characteristics outlined above.     

Silicon Nitride Capacitive Chemical Sensor for Phosphate Ion Detection Based on Copper Phthalocyanine – Acrylate‐polymer

In this work, we report the development of a highly sensitive capacitance chemical sensor based on a copper C,C,C,C‐ tetra‐carboxylic phthalocyanine‐acrylate polymer adduct (Cu(II)TCPc‐PAA) for phosphate ions detection. A capacitance silicon nitride substrate based Al−Cu/Si‐p/SiO₂/Si₃N₄ structure was used as transducer. These materials have provided good stability of electrochemical measurements. The functionalized silicon‐based transducers with a Cu(II)Pc‐PAA membrane were characterized by using Mott‐Schottky technique measurements at different frequency ranges and for different phosphate concentrations. The morphological surface of the Cu(II)Pc‐PAA modified silicon‐nitride based transducer was characterized by contact angle measurements and atomic force microscopy. The pH effect was also investigated by the Mott‐Schottcky technique for different Tris‐HCl buffer solutions. The sensitivity of silicon nitride was studied at different pH of Tris‐HCl buffer solutions. This pH test has provided a sensitivity value of 51 mV/decade. The developed chemical sensor showed a good performance for phosphate ions detection within the range of 10⁻¹⁰ to 10⁻⁵ M with a Nernstian sensitivity of 27.7 mV/decade. The limit of detection of phosphate ions was determined at 1 nM. This chemical sensor was highly specific for phosphate ions when compared to other interfering ions as chloride, sulfate, carbonate and perchlorate. The present capacitive chemical sensor is thus very promising for sensitive and rapid detection of phosphate in environmental applications.     

Suppression of pull-in in a microstructure actuated by mechanical shocks and electrostatic forces

This work investigates the effect of a high-frequency voltage (HFV) on the pull-in instability in a microstructure actuated by mechanical shocks and electrostatic forces. The microstructure is modelled as a single-degree-of-freedom mass-spring-damper system. The method of direct partition of motion is used to split the fast and slow dynamics. Analysis of steady-state solutions of the slow dynamic allows the investigation of the influence of the HFV on the pull-in. The results show that adding HFV rigidifies the system, creates new stable equilibria and suppresses the pull-in instability for adequate high-frequency voltages. To illustrate the applicability of the result, a specific capacitive microelectromechanical system consisting of a clamped-clamped microbeam is considered.     

Effect of Mass and Charge of Ionic Species on Spatio‐Temporal Evolution of Transient Electric Field in CCP Discharges

The formation of capacitive sheath and existence of the transition electric field between sheath edge and bulk plasma in RF‐CCP discharge is predicted (PRL 89, 265006 2002); such structures are sensitive to the plasma composition. On the basis of semi‐infinite particle‐in‐cell (PIC) simulation the effect of charge and mass of ionic species on the spatio‐temporal evolution of the transient electric field and phase mixing phenomena in linear and weakly nonlinear regime has been explored. As an important feature, the simulation results predict that the maximum amplitude of the transient electric field decreases with increasing ionic mass and charge; further the sheath width increases with increasing ionic mass while follow opposite trend with increasing ionic charge. The excitation of wave like structures in the transition region and efficient energy transport to the bulk region of CCP discharges in a nonlinear regime has also been predicted.
