FLOW-ELECTRODE DEVICE WITH ELECTRODE REGENERATION BY SHORT CIRCUIT AND CAPACITIVE DEIONIZATION DEVICE

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of regenerating ion adsorption capacity by short circuit of a flow cathode and a flow anode, and a desalination device applying the same. The desalination device can continuously perform desalination process while consuming little amount of electrode by simultaneously regenerating flow electrodes with desalination process. According to the present invention, the area and costs required for installing a desalination device can be remarkably reduced by integrating a supply line and a recovery line of the flow cathode and flow anode. Therefore, the desalination device of the present invention can reduce costs required to regenerate electrodes and can reduce the amount of flow electrodes consumed for desalination process.
