SELECTIVE BROMIDE ION REMOVAL AND RECOVERY BY ELECTROCHEMICAL DESALINATION

摘要

A method of bromide ion and iodide ion selective removal from seawater or the like by electrochemical desalination; and a device therefor. The method includes (a) providing a capacitive deionizing cell with high surface area activated carbon electrodes; (b) flowing the seawater through the cell; and (c) applying a voltage to charge and discharge the electrodes.
