Abstract: The method and system for removing ions from an ionized liquid includes electrically charging the ions, establishing a given flow direction, and applying a magnetic field to the electrically-charged ions causing movement of the ions in the direction of fluid flow. Liquid having higher ion concentration is discharged at a location remote in the direction of flow, and liquid having lower ion concentration is withdrawn near the location of the applied magnetic field.

Abstract: The system for removing ions from an ionized liquid of the type employing rotating bipolar electrodes wherein at least one of the electrodes is provided with a surface comprising a plurality of segments of electrically conducting material, each of which segments is electrically insulated from the other and with brush contact means to apply one polarity voltage to a plurality of segments on one side of the electrode and the opposite polarity voltage to a similar plurality of segments on the opposite side of the electrode to provide the voltage polarity difference between the two sides of the electrode to cause ion adsorption from one part of the ionized liquid and ion rejection to another portion of the ionized liquid.
