Article Abstract

According to the characteristics of desulfurization wastewater, A new capacitive deionization (CDI) device was designed to study the desalination characteristics of desulfurization wastewater in this paper. The experiments investigated the desalination efficiency under different conditions which find that the best desalination efficiency is achieved at a voltage of 1.2V, pH=11 and 50°C. Besides, ion adsorption is more favorable under acidic and alkaline conditions. The anion and cation removal performance experiments showed that the order of cation removal is Mg>Na>Ca>K and the order of anion removal is Cl>CO>NO>SO>HCO. The mechanism of CDI was studied and analyzed by the isothermal adsorption model and COMSOL simulation software. It was found that the Freundlich model and Redlich-Peterson model have a good fit with the experimental results. The experiments show that the CDI device has excellent stability. CDI device was used to treat actual desulfurization wastewater. Furthermore, the study provides theoretical support for the industrial application of CDI for desulfurization wastewater treatment in the future. Graphical abstract.

Efficient hierarchical porous carbon (HPC) and heteroatom doping electrode materials remain a formidable challenge for advanced capacitive deionization (CDI) systems for cadmium-containing wastewater purification. This study reports the successful preparation of asymmetric CDI cathodes for the electrosorption of Cd by a controlled dual-organic-salt activation strategy, and its adsorption performance and underlying mechanism were comprehensively investigated. Compared with a single KCO activation strategy, incorporating CHNOSK during activation induced a chain activation-gas etching reaction, resulting in a carbon material with high heteroatom doping, exceptional specific surface area an optimized pore distribution, and abundant edge defects.

The lack of robust distillation membranes to resist scaling/wetting remains a significant barrier to applying membrane distillation (MD) for hypersaline wastewater treatment. Constructing a functional surface layer was demonstrated to be a promising strategy against membrane scaling/wetting. However, conventional surface coating processes could increase water transport resistance and low compatibility between the surface layer and hydrophobic substrate, deteriorating membrane efficacies and stabilities.
