Abstract
Capacitive deionization (CDI) is an emerging technique for removing dissolved, charged species from aqueous solutions. It has been previously applied to brackish water and seawater desalination, wastewater remediation, and water softening. The CDI unit cell comprises two parallel electrode sheets separated by a non-conductive spacer (nylon cloth, 100 mm thick) and fixed with a rubber gasket. The electrodes are typically carbon, and the feed water flows between or through the two charged electrodes. The porous electrode pair is accused of an applied voltage difference (called the cell or charging voltage). Optimizing the CDI electrode features is essential for scaling up the technique to an industrial scale. The effect of the water flow rate and the applied voltage are key factors that affect the efficiency of the CDI units. This research used Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a smart-based modeling tool to optimize and predict the highest efficiency concerning the electrode and process parameters. The results showed that a carbon-based structure with super-electrochemical and mechanical properties could revolutionize CDI technology.
