Abstract:

The process of capacitive deionization (CDI) is a cost effective and energy efficient method that offers many opportunities in terms of desalination of brackish water and the removal of ionic contaminants. Current research focusses on evaluating different influence parameters to make the CDI process more competitive to other commercially available methods like reverse osmosis, direct distillation or ion exchange. CDI is based on the adsorption of ions to highly porous electrodes by applying an external voltage difference. Although, remarkable progress in CDI modeling has been achieved during the past decade, so far, only few models exist which fully describe the CDI process and which predict the cell behavior in all its aspects, including e.g., performance under constant voltage and/or constant current control or pH effects including water dissociation. However, in this paper a new approach to CDI modeling is presented, which opens a path to fast and easy implementation of a digital depiction of complex CDI setups having e.g., multiple cells. The model is based on the object-oriented modeling language Modelica that enables the simulation and prediction of the behavior of complete CDI cells by combining chemical, electrochemical and electrical components. ... mehr
