DESALINATION DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240294408 titled 'DESALINATION DEVICE

The abstract describes a desalination battery cell that alternately collects and disperses salt from a saline water solution to produce desalinated water and brine solution.

• First compartment separated by an anion exchange membrane
• Saline water solutions in both compartments with intercalation host electrodes
• Voltage source supplies electric current to release cations into the solution
• Controller adjusts electric current to change direction of anions passing through the membrane
• Desalination process produces desalinated water and brine solution

Potential Applications: - Desalination of seawater for drinking water production - Industrial processes requiring desalinated water - Water treatment in remote locations

Problems Solved: - Provides a sustainable and efficient desalination method - Reduces the energy consumption of traditional desalination processes

Benefits: - Cost-effective desalination solution - Environmentally friendly process - Can be used in off-grid locations

Commercial Applications: Desalination Battery Cell Technology for Sustainable Water Treatment Solutions

Questions about Desalination Battery Cell Technology: 1. How does the desalination process in this battery cell differ from traditional methods? 2. What are the potential environmental impacts of implementing this technology on a larger scale?

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on the latest advancements in desalination battery cell technology for improved efficiency and scalability.

Original Abstract Submitted

a desalination battery cell includes a first compartment separated by an anion exchange membrane from a second compartment, each of the first and second compartments containing a saline water solution having a concentration of dissolved salts cand first and second intercalation host electrodes, respectively, in fluid communication with the solution, a voltage source supplying electric current to the first and second intercalation host electrodes to release cations into the solution, and a controller programmed to adjust an amount of the electric current being supplied to change direction of anions in the solution passing through the anion exchange membrane between the compartments such that the first and second compartments alternately collect and disperse salt from the solution and release desalinated water solution having a concentration cof dissolved salts and a brine solution having a concentration cof dissolved salts such that c>c>c.
