New paper published on cation separation during flow electrode capacitive deionization in Desalination

New paper published on cation separation during flow electrode capacitive deionization in Desalination. This work is about improving water treatment and resource recovery through selective ion removal using flow electrode capacitive deionization (FCDI). We explore separating specific cations like calcium and magnesium from multi-ion solutions, helping to optimize water desalination processes. Our data show that while the overall ion separation order follows a universal order, the kinetics (down to full ion depletion) can be adjusted as a function of carbon mass loading, presence or absence of conductive additive, and flow rate.
