Abstract: A deionization device is for at least partially deionizing a feed liquid in which at least one electrolyte is dissolved. The device has at least one process channel with a feed inlet for receiving the feed liquid, and a feed outlet; one or more collector channel(s) for collecting the anions and cations separated from the feed liquid; an electrolyte outlet for discharging the collected anions and cations; and at least one channel electrode, at least one separating electrode, and at least one collector electrode. The channel and separating electrodes are placed at opposite sides of the process channel, and the separating and collector electrodes are placed at opposite sides of the collector channel(s). A field generator generates an electric and/or magnetic field between the channel and separating electrodes, and between the separating and collector electrodes, to generate an ion flow from the process to the collector channel(s), which is the same for anions and cations.
