“…Deionizers based on columns of zeolite, silica gel, and ion exchange resins were evaluated for the removal 13'Cs, ?3r, and '=Sb fiom contaminated water at the Three Mile Island Nuclear Power Station Unit No. 2 [25]. As previously discussed, ion exchange columns require chemical regeneration and thereby produce large volumes of radioactive secondary waste.…”

ABSTRACTCapacitive deionization with carbon aerogel electrodes is an efficient and economical new process for removing salt and impurities from water. Carbon aerogel is a material that enables the successful purification of water because of its high surface area, optimum pore size, and low electrical resistivity. The electrodes are maintained at a potential difference of about one volt; ions are removed from the water by the imposed electrostatic field and retained on the electrode surface until the polarity is reversed. The capacitive deionization of water with a stack of carbon aerogel electrodes has been successfully demonstrated. The overall process offers advantages when compared to conventional water-purification methods, requiring neither pumps, membranes, distillation columns, nor thermal heaters. Consequently, the overall process is both robust and energy efficient. The current state of technology development, commercialization, and potential applications of this process are reviewed.
