Abstract
A method is provided that includes discharging a solute from a solute-bearing electrode into a discharge liquid stream. The discharge liquid stream has a relatively higher concentration of solute than a feed stream from which the solute-bearing electrode gained the solute. A system is provided, also.
Claims28
A method, comprising:
- discharging a solute from a solute-bearing electrode into a discharge liquid stream, wherein the discharge liquid stream has a relatively higher concentration of solute than a feed stream from which the solute-bearing electrode gained the solute.
A desalination system, comprising:
- a first sub-system, and
- a second sub-system in fluid communication with the first sub-system, wherein the second sub-system comprises a means for discharging a solute from a solute-bearing electrode into a discharge liquid stream, wherein the discharge liquid stream has a relatively higher concentration of solute than a solute-bearing feed stream from which the solute-bearing electrode gained the solute.
A treatment system, comprising:
- a first sub-system;
- a second sub-system in fluid communication with the first sub-system;
- and
- a controller in communication with the second sub-system, wherein in response to a signal from the controller the second sub-system discharges a solute from a solute-bearing electrode into a discharge liquid stream, wherein the discharge liquid stream has a relatively higher concentration of solute than a solute-bearing feed stream from which the solute-bearing electrode gained the solute.
