Abstract
This invention relates to an electric double layer capacitor electrochemical cylinder (11) made up of concentric layers of capacitors (16), current collectors (14a, 14b, 14c), ion specific membranes (18, 18a, 18b) and dielectric spacer (20) wrapped around an inner support tube (12) that can be used as a high capacitance capacitor and to remove dissolved solids from a liquid stream such as water, acid, aqueous or non-aqueous.
Claims19
A concentric layer electric double layer capacitor cylinder for use in deionizing aqueous streams, comprising:
- a. a plurality of concentrically opposed capacitor pairs of predetermined diameter and length,
- b. a dielectric spacer interposed between one of said capacitors in pairs and its adjacent capacitor with similar predetermined length and position,
- c. a means of containing said capacitors and spacers,
- d. a means of introducing an electrical charge to said capacitor pairs, and
- e. a means of introducing and removing a liquid to said dielectric spacer whereby said liquid can be deionized by said cylinder.
A method for deionizing water containing ionic components comprising:
- a. A concentric layer electric double layer capacitor cylinder
- b. A power supply
