Abstract
-
This research is about the power supply considerations and energy recovery schemes in water purification systems utilizing the Capacitive De-Ionization (CDI) method. The first chapter is a general introduction about the ever rising need for water in the world. It also talks about the drive behind this research. The most common methods for water desalination are discussed in Chapter II. Then, the method of CDI is discussed in detail in Chapter III. The model, applications and design considerations for CDI are discussed. Energy recovery in desalination methods is talked about in Chapter IV, with emphasis on energy recovery in CDI. Then a novel method for energy recovery in CDI is presented, showing superior results to prior art. Simulation and experimental results confirmed the validity of the method, and are presented. Power supply considerations for the CDI method are presented in Chapter V. Then, a novel power supply scheme is suggested.
