APPARATUS AND PROCESS FOR SEPARATION AND SELECTIVE RECOMPOSITION OF IONS

摘要

A device and process are disclosed for the separate removal of oppositely charged ions from electrolyte solutions and recombining them to form new chemical compositions. The invention provides the ability to create multiple ion flow channels and then form new chemical compositions therefrom. The process is accomplished by selectively combining oppositely charged ions of choice from different electrolyte solutions via the capacitive behavior of high electrical capacitance electrodes confined in insulated containers.

1. A process for the separation and selective recombination of oppositely charged ions from two different electrolyte solutions, the process comprising:
a) providing a first input electrolyte solution and a second input electrolyte solution in insulated containers, each input electrolyte solution comprising an equal amount of positive and negative ions; b) generating a positively charged ion stream and a negatively charged ion stream from each electrolyte solution; and c) selectively combining the positive ion stream from the first input solution with the negative ion stream from the second input solution, and the negative ion stream from the first input solution with the positive ion stream from the second input solution, to form new chemical compositions.
