  • Method for electrochemical treatment of water
    Patent number: 12030794
    Abstract: A method for electrochemical treatment of water is provided. The method includes providing a flow-through reactor including a cathode and an anode, wherein the anode includes about 80 weight percent or greater of a sub-stoichiometric titanium oxide. The method further includes applying power to the cathode and the anode, passing a solution including water and a metal chloride through the flow-through reactor, and withdrawing the purified water.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 7, 2022
    Date of Patent: July 9, 2024
    Assignee: UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS
    Inventors: Julie Bliss Mullen, David A. Reckhow

  • FLOW-THROUGH ELECTROCHEMICAL REACTOR
    Publication number: 20220073380
    Abstract: A flow-through electrochemical reactor includes a housing having a solution flow-path. A flow-through or solid first electrode is disposed within the solution flow path. A second electrode is spaced apart from the flow-through or solid first electrode, thereby creating an electroactive gap between the flow-through or solid first electrode and the second electrode. The electroactive gap is less than 5 mm and greater than 2 mm.
