A system and method for water purification by capture of contaminants in an aqueous mixture is described herein. A system and method for regenerating the capture system is also described. An integrated capture and regeneration system and method is also described including a separation vessel that houses a capture bed and optionally an electrode in electrical contact with the bed with a power source for applying a voltage to the electrode. The applied voltage enhances capture of the contaminant from aqueous liquid on the capture bed and modulation of the applied voltage enhances release of contaminant on the capture bed into aqueous wash liquid to regenerate the bed. The aqueous wash liquid may contain a counter ion that binds to the contaminant forming an aggregate contaminant phase that separates from the aqueous wash liquid.
A method of removing a contaminant from an aqueous mixture comprising flowing a contaminated aqueous mixture comprising one or more ionic contaminants through a vessel that houses a capture bed, and flowing an aqueous wash liquid through the vessel.
A system for removing a contaminant from water comprising:
A method of regenerating a capture bed comprising providing a vessel that houses a capture bed having one or more ionic contaminants bound to the capture bed, and flowing an aqueous wash liquid through the vessel.
A system for regenerating a capture bed comprising:
