Method and system for providing a flow through battery cell and uses thereof

摘要

In one embodiment, the present invention relates generally to a system for providing a flow through battery cell and uses thereof. In one embodiment, the flow through battery cell includes an inlet for receiving a flow of water, a solid oxidizer coupled to the inlet for reacting with the flow of water to generate a catholyte, wherein the solid oxidizer comprises at least one of: an organic halamine, a succinimide or a hypochlorite salt, a galvanic module coupled to the solid oxidizer for receiving the catholyte and generating one or more effluents and an outlet for releasing the one or more effluents.

1. A system, comprising:
a basic galvanic battery cell for receiving a first flow of sea water and generating a basic effluent, wherein said basic galvanic battery cell comprises:
a first inlet for receiving said first flow of sea water;a first solid oxidizer coupled to said first inlet for reacting with said first flow of sea water to generate a first catholyte;a first galvanic module coupled to said first solid oxidizer for receiving said first catholyte and generating said basic effluent; anda first outlet for releasing said basic effluent; an acidic galvanic battery cell for receiving a second flow of sea water and generating an acidic effluent, wherein said acidic galvanic battery cell comprises:
a second inlet for receiving said second flow of sea water;a second solid oxidizer coupled to said second inlet for reacting with said second flow of sea water to generate a second catholyte, wherein the second solid oxidizer comprises an organic halamine;a second galvanic module coupled to said second solid oxidizer for receiving said second catholyte and generating said acidic effluent; anda second outlet for releasing said acidic effluent; and an effluent conditioning cell coupled to said basic galvanic battery cell and said acidic galvanic battery cell for combining said basic effluent and said acidic effluent to create a neutral effluent.
