Electrochemical separation device
View Patent ↗Systems and methods for electrochemical separation are provided. An electrochemical separation device may include at least one cell pair wound around an electrode to from a bundle having a racetrack configuration.
1. An electrochemical separation device, comprising:
a first electrode comprising a straight section with a semi-circular section at each end to define a substantially elongated S-shaped anode;
at least one cell pair comprising an anion exchange membrane and a cation exchange membrane wound around the first electrode to form a bundle; and
a second electrode surrounding the bundle.
2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the first electrode comprises an anode and wherein the second electrode comprises a cathode.
3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the first electrode further comprises a fastening tab at each end to secure the at least one cell pair.
4. The device of claim 3 , further comprising a spacer configured to maintain a predetermined distance between first and second segments of the anode.
5. A water treatment system, comprising the electrochemical separation device of claim 1 .
