<p>The present invention provides a device and methods of use thereof for desalting a solution. The methods, inter-alia, make use of a device comprising microchannels, which are linked to conduits, whereby induction of an electric field in the conduit results in the formation of a space charge layer within the microchannel. The space charge layer provides an energy barrier for salt ions and generates an ion depletion zone proximal to the link-age region between the microchannel and the conduit. The method thus en-ables the removal of salt ions from the region proximal to the conduit and their accumulation in a region distant from the conduit, within the mi-crochannel.</p> |
