This invention discloses an electrochemical carbon
membrane reactor and its operating process for removing
cesium ions from water, relating to the field of cesium
ion separation. The device mainly includes a functional carbon membrane
anode, a functional carbon membrane
cathode, a
regulated power supply, a water pump, sensors, and a casing. During operation, the cesium-containing solution to be treated is pumped from the
raw water tank to port A, entering the
anode chamber. It then sequentially penetrates the carbon membrane
anode and
cathode, reaching the
cathode chamber and finally flowing into the product water tank from port B, yielding
treated water. This invention utilizes both the electrostatic repulsion of the carbon membrane anode and the
electrochemical adsorption of the carbon membrane cathode as core processes to remove
cesium ions from water. Furthermore, the device's performance can be restored and regenerated through periodic removal of the concentrate and
electrode reversal. This process has the advantages of simple equipment, simple operation steps, low production cost, and high cesium
ion removal rate, and can be applied to the effective separation and removal of
cesium ions in industrial
wastewater,
salt lake water, nuclear
wastewater,
seawater, and other water bodies.
