Definitions

  • the present invention relates to electrodeionization and more particularly, the invention relates to an electrodeionization substrate and a device for treating fluids via electrodeionization.
  • feed streams Prior to their ultimate use, feed streams must often be pretreated to remove unwanted ionic contaminants.
  • Typical clean-up processes include the use of ion-exchange resins and electrodialysis.
  • ion-exchange after the targeted ions are removed from a feed solution, the ion-exchange resins are exhausted and have to be regenerated by acids, bases, or salts. Thus the process produces an equivalent or higher amount of waste salt stream from the regeneration process.
  • Electrodialysis is an electrically driven ion-exchange membrane based process where by using a stack of alternating cation, anion, or bipolar membranes, ions are re-moved from a feed solution and purified and concentrated in a product or concentrate solution. Since the transport ofthe ions are done by electric power, electrodialysis processes do not consume equivalent quantities of acids, bases, or salts and do not produce a salt waste stream. When the ion concentration in the feed stream is low, i.e. below 0.5 to 1%, electrodialysis processes become unattractive because the low ionic conductivity in the dilute feed stream leads to very low flux and high energy consumption.
  • Electrodeionization also known as “electrochemical ion-exchange” is an advanced ion-exchange technology that combines the advantages of ion- exchange and electrodialysis.
  • ion-exchange resins are sequestered in dilute feed compartments to increase the ionic conductivity, so that even with an ionically dilute feed, a stable operation with higher flux and lower energy consumption than electrodialysis, becomes possible.
  • the electric power also splits the water (H 2 O) to H+ and OH- ions and the resins are thus regenerated while the ions are removed.
  • EDI technology is increasingly being used to make deionized water for boiler feed and high purity industrial water applications.
  • these pro-cess streams will have multiple types of ions, other contaminants and potential foulants, and high concentrations of organics, which cannot be lost from the feedstream.
  • the EDI devices for these applications must be easily dissembled for frequent cleaning.
  • process economics require that there is virtually no leakage between the product feed and the salt concentrate that is removed.
  • Many configurations and devices have been patented for electrodeionization.
  • Patents also exist (U.S. Patent Nos. 4,747,929 and 5,681,438) describing complex spacer construction configurations incorporating attached membranes and loose ion exchange resins interspersed between.
  • U.S. Patent 5,346,924 describes a method for making a non-porous ion exchange membrane using an ion exchange resin and binders such as polyethylene of linear low density or high density is described. These non-porous membranes are then described in an electrodeionization assembly with loose ion exchange resins in compartmentalized pockets that are similar to the previously described patents.
  • Another U.S. Patent 5,308,467 an apparatus that creates an ion exchange material from mono-filaments of cation and anion exchange material by radiation grafting is described and this ion exchange material can then be assembled between ion exchange membranes to make an electrodeionization apparatus.
  • EDI devices typically are utilized as a final polishing step in for already ultra pure water. As such, fouling of the rather complex compartmentalization and flow channels of EDI systems is relatively rare. Indeed, such systems are usually sealed upon manufacture inasmuch as the need for disassembly to facilitate cleaning is nil. Most of the current configurations develop small leaks from the dilute/feed compartments to the concentrate compartments. Whereas this is not a significant economic penalty for the production of ultra-pure water, such leaks cannot be tolerated for use with organic feedstreams where such losses from the feed would be uneconomical. In light of the foregoing, none of the current ED devices provide for having simple assembly and disassembly to facilitate cleaning and reuse. Also, none ofthe current EDI devices provide for virtually leak-free conditions between the feed compartment and the concentrate compartment. Such optimal characteristics are required for EDI devices used to treat process streams high in organic material content, such as corn syrups, glycerol and others.
  • Ion exchange beads that are commonly used for EDI applications consist of strongly acidic containing sulfonic acid groups, or strongly basic containing quaternary ammonium groups. Other resins such as those with weakly acidic (carboxylic acid) or weakly basic (amines) groups are also used when required. These beads are cross-linked polymers usually styrene - divinyl benzene or acrylates. The resins can be gel type or macro-reticular type. Usually equivalent mixtures of cationic and anionic resins are used in the EDI compartments. For specialized applications one type of resin or adsorbent beads mixed with ion- exchange resins may be used.
  • the material should be readily adaptable to current EDI stack configurations.
  • the material and device should not have ion-exchange particle leakage even at high flow rates, and the material should be regenerable in situ.
  • the material also should be produced with common substrates.
  • Another object ofthe present invention is to provide a porous but immobilized ion-exchange material.
  • a feature of the invention is that standard ion-exchange particles are combined with a binder material to immobilize them while also maintaining the molecular characteristics (such as porosity and internal surface area) ofthe particles.
  • An advantage of the invention is conferring a high degree of ionic conductivity between individual particles of the standard material while also allowing high throughput of the treated liquid stream.
  • Yet another object of the invention is to provide an economical method for subjecting feed streams to electrodeionization.
  • a feature of the invention is the utilization of a porous, immobilized ion-exchange material which provides ion- conductivities higher than the feed stream.
  • An advantage of the invention is the ability for the material to regenerate in situ.
  • the invention provides a porous immobilized ion-exchange material comprising ion-exchange resins having cation-exchange moieties and anion- exchange moieties; and a means for immobilizing the moieties relative to each other while conferring ion-conductivity and liquid permeability to the material.
  • an electrodeionization device comprising a cation-exchange membrane; an anion-exchange membrane juxtaposed co-planarly to said cation exchange membrane; porous ion-exchange material positioned intermediate said cation-exchange membrane and said anion exchange membrane to form a compartment, whereby the material comprises anion-exchange entities and cation exchange entities immobilized relative to each other; and a means for applying an electrical potential to said compartment.
  • the invention also provides for a method for subjecting a fluid to electrodeionization, the method comprising supplying a porous, ion-exchange material wherein the material comprises anion exchange entities and cation exchange entities immobilized relative to each other; applying an electrical potential across the material; contacting the fluid to the substrate so as to facilitate removal of ionic contaminants from the fluid; and simultaneous with step c, regenerating the resin, in situ.

  • a general overview of an improved electrodeionization device is designated as numeral 10 in FIG. 1.
  • a salient feature of the device is a unique porous, immobilized ion-exchange material 12 which facilitates rapid deployment of ionic contaminants out of a diluate conduit, 14.
  • the material is removably positioned between (i.e., intermediate) a cation exchange membrane 16 and an anion exchange membrane 18, the entire triad therefore comprising a "cell compartment.”
  • a means for facilitating ion transport through this compartment is employed.
  • an electrical potential imparted via opposing electrodes 20, 22 provides the gradient to facilitate ion transfer out ofthe diluate conduit 14, and into the respective concentrate conduits 15.
  • An exemplary formulation of the material is that of making it into wafers of uniform thickness.
  • This wafer configuration confers the following three advantages to EDI processes: First, the inventors found that in very dilute solutions, where most of the deionization takes place, the ionic conductance of the wafer is higher than that of the solution itself. This means that the wafers will aid in the EDI process efficiency and increase throughput when compared to trying to deionize the solution itself. Second, when the wafers are incorporated in a standard ED stack configuration, no leakage between the compartments occurred, even when the flow rates were 5 to 10 fold higher than that used in typical EDI processes.

  • these elastomer dispersions are mixed with a catalytic curing agent which have aminoalkyl functionalities such as oligomeric aminoalkyl siloxanes.

Upon drying the elastomer particles adhere to the surfaces as well get cross linked to each other and form a very durable non- porous coating.
  • these latex emulsions are suitable for making ion exchange materials with a high degree of porosity; in other words, when applied to ion-exchange resin beads, the latex was found not to coat the outer surfaces ofthe resin beads and render them unsuitable for ion-exchange or contaminant removal.
  • novel findings of this invention show that these aqueous elastomer latex emulsions when properly used can indeed produce a porous, immobilized, ion-exchange material from ion exchange resin beads which have the following highly desirable properties: - The molecular sized pores and the molecular porosity and the internal surface area of the resin and the beads are maintained.
