Abstract

Conventional flow-electrode capacitive deionization (FCDI) often exhibits performance constraints stemming from elevated ion migration resistance associated with diminished conductivity within the desalination chamber, particularly under complex aqueous matrices. This investigation introduces a symmetric anion-exchange membrane (AEM) configuration engineered to circumvent these conductivity limitations and enhance arsenic removal efficacy. Relative to conventional designs, the symmetric-AEM configuration demonstrated an approximate 19.4% enhancement in arsenic removal efficiency. For influent streams with initial arsenic concentrations of 1000 μg·L⁻¹, effluent concentrations were diminished below the analytical detection limit (0.02 μg·L⁻¹) employing a two-stage sequential process. This configuration sustains or potentially enhances desalination-chamber conductivity by optimizing ion migration pathways and facilitating anion compensation via highly mobile chloride ions. The contributions of chloride ions as supporting electrolytes and the transformations of arsenic valence states were interrogated, providing mechanistic insights into the observed performance improvements. Our findings signify a practical advancement in FCDI, presenting a potentially robust and efficacious strategy for arsenic remediation in contaminated groundwater. Thus, the symmetric-AEM configuration represents a significant advancement toward the broader implementation and practical application of FCDI systems for potable water production.

对称阴离子交换膜提高了砷的去除,克服了FCDI系统的电导率限制
传统的流动电极电容去离子(FCDI)通常表现出性能限制,这是由于海水淡化室中与电导率降低相关的离子迁移阻力升高,特别是在复杂的水性基质下。本研究介绍了一种对称阴离子交换膜(AEM)结构,旨在绕过这些电导率限制,提高除砷效率。与常规设计相比,对称aem结构的砷去除效率提高了约19.4%。与初始入渗流砷浓度的1000μg·L⁻¹,废水浓度下降低于分析检出限(0.02μg·L⁻¹)采用顺序过程分为两个阶段。这种结构通过优化离子迁移途径和通过高流动性氯离子促进阴离子补偿,维持或潜在地增强了脱盐室的电导率。氯离子作为支持电解质的贡献和砷价态的转变被询问,为观察到的性能改进提供了机制上的见解。我们的研究结果表明了FCDI的实际进展,为污染地下水中的砷修复提供了一种潜在的强大而有效的策略。因此,对称aem结构代表了饮用水生产中FCDI系统的广泛实施和实际应用的重大进步。
