Flow Electrode Capacitive Deionization System with Simultaneous Desalting of Na and Gathering of Na.

Oceans contain many freshwater resources and metal elements that people need, so the rational development of marine resources can solve the two major problems of shortage of freshwater resources and metal elements for people. To solve these two challenges, a system was designed to obtain freshwater resources and metallic elements simultaneously. An ion enrichment module was added to the conventional flow capacitor deionization system to collect metal elements while the seawater was deionized.
