<p>The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for the removal of ions from a fluid. The method comprises contacting the fluid with a charged particulate material such that at least a portion of the designated ions are electrostatically bound to the charged particules material, to produce a fluid effluent having a reduced concentration of the designated ions. The invention further provides an apparatus which comprises: - a vessel having an inlet for introducing the fluid into the vessel; - a plurality of charged particulate matter having an electrostatic field contained within the vessel in fluid communication with the inlet; and an oulet in fluid communication with the particulate matter through which fluid having a reduced concentration of designated ions may be removed, and the particulate matter is retained in the vessel.</p> |
