Continuous Electrodeionization (CEDI) is a hybrid separation process of electrodialysis and ion exchange to produce high purity water under electric field. CEDI system is generally explained with two regimes, ionic removal and electroregeneration. The performance optimization and modification of stack configuration is required for the effective utilization and various applications of a CEDI system. Understanding on various system characterization method and ion transport equation is thus necessary to utilize the CEDI system more effectively. This article provides a general review of continuous electrodeionization, including the basic principles and current stage of technologies of a CEDI system.

The transport and removal characteristics of cobalt ions were investigated in a continuous electrodeionization with cation exchange textile (CEDI-CET). It was shown that the removal properties of cobalt ions are strongly dependent on the operating parameters such as temperature, flow velocity, and the solution pH. The transport and removal of cobalt ions was mainly related to the sorption on the surface and the convection and electro-migration through the ion exchange medium. In this study, the CEDI-CET showed good process performance for the removal of metal ions compared with the conventional CEDI with resins.

Transport mechanisms of nickel ion through a continuous electrodeionization (CEDI) were investigated in terms of electric properties of ion exchange textile (IET). The porous plug model and extended Nernst-Plank (N-P) equation were applied for the description of transport mechanism of nickel ion. The model revealed that the CEDI performance was mainly due to the induced current not accelerated mobility by IET. This study also suggested that optimal operating conditions are attained with minimized electroregeneration region.

CEDI-BPM(Continuous Electrodeionization-Bipolar Membrane) has advantages due to high ion permselectivity through ion exchange membranes and the production of $H^+$ and $OH^-$ ions on the bipolar membrane surfaces for regeneration of ion exchange resin during electrodeionization operation. In this study, hardness materials were removed by the CEDI-BPM without scale formation and the ion exchange resins were electrically regenerated during the operation. The adsorption characteristic of ion exchange resin surface, the influence of flow rate on the hardness removal and electric regeneration were investigated in the study. The removal efficiency of Ca was higher than that of Mg in the CEDI-BPM, which was related to the high adsorption capacity of Ca on the cation exchange resin. With increasing flow rate, the flux of Ca and Mg was enhanced by the permselectivity of a cation exchange membrane. In the electric regeneration of CEDI-BPM, it was shown that the regeneration efficiency was higher with a lower regeneration potential applied between cathode and anode.

It has been known that transport characteristics of ions are very complicated in CEDI system due to the inter-relations between ion exchange media and solution. Thus, this study sought to determine the ionic mobility of cobalt ion through cation exchange textile under electroregeneration and consequently verify the transport mechanisms of cobalt ion in a CEDI system.(omitted)

To desalinate the aqueous solutions with high salt concentration using the capacitive deionization technology, two resin/membrane capacitive deionization(RMCDI) cells were fabricated by filling mixed ion exchange resins in two different flow channels (spacer and spiral type). The salt removal efficiency of the spacer- and spiral-RMCDI was 77.21 and 99.94%, respectively. Many ions were significantly removed in a spiral RMCDI cell because the feed solution could be more evenly contacted with the ion exchange resins filled on the spiral type flow channel. As the result of the changes of pH and accumulative charges, it was observed that Faradaic reaction was diminished for a spiral RMCDI cell filled by the mixture of cation and anion exchange resins. Therefore, the desalination of the aqueous solutions with high salt concentration by the capacitive deionization technology was proven. In addition, further studies on the optimization of the mixing ratio with ion exchange resins and the introduction of the regeneration process generally occurred in the continuous electrodeionization (CEDI) technology are required to improve the RMCDI technology.
