ELECTRODE APPARATUS FOR CREATING A NON-UNIFORM ELECTRIC FIELD TO REMOVE POLARIZED MOLECULES IN A FLUID

摘要

An electrode apparatus (21) and method remove a polarized molecule in a fluid. In another aspect, a non-uniform electric field is created between an anode (43, 105) and a cathode (41, 107), the fluid flows within a gap (45, 135) between the cathode and the anode, and the polarized molecule is driven by an electrostatic force to and adsorbed on the anode without experiencing a chemical reaction.
