  • METHOD AND DEVICE TO REMOVE IONS FROM AN ELECTROLYTIC MEDIA, SUCH AS WATER DESALINATION, USING SUSPENSION OF DIVIDED MATERIALS IN A FLOW CAPACITOR
    Publication number: 20160122211
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a cheap and efficient method and device to remove ions from an electrolytic media, such as water desalination. The invention relates to a cell adapted to remove ions from an liquid electrolytic media, comprising a housing with: two inlets and two outlets, a unique porous membrane ionically conducting but electrically insulating, lying between the two inlets and the two outlets to constitute two compartments, each one comprising one of the inlets and one of the outlets, two electrodes, each one in electronic contact with one compartment.

  • Microfluid device and synthetic methods
    Patent number: 7273541
    Abstract: A method of electrolytic synthesis comprises applying a potential between a first electrode and a second electrode. The first electrode is in contact with a first fluid stream in a channel, the second electrode is in contact with a second fluid stream in the channel, and the first steam and the second stream are in parallel laminar flow in the channel.
