New research unlocks potential of electrochemical separation for water treatment and resource extraction

A team of Vanderbilt researchers has developed novel technology called electrochemical ion pumping (EIP) that could revolutionize the treatment of water and resource extraction.

According to the researchers, the practical use of electrosorption has been limited by the need for alternating charging and discharging cycles due to limited electrode capacity. During these frequent switches, residual solutions in the electrodes mix with incoming solutions, which reduces energy efficiency and ion removal effectiveness.
