Abstract
Capacitive deionization (CDI) is an alternative promising desalination technology due to its environmentally friendly and cost-effective process. In this study the effects of carbon electrode parameters such as porous carbon layer thickness and water channel gap distance on CDI efficiency were systematically evaluated in terms of salt adsorption capacity (SAC). In addition kinetic salt adsorption rate was discussed. The study demonstrated that appropriate carbon layer thickness of electrode and gap distance between electrodes were crucial parameters for CDI cell fabrication to optimize the desalination performance. ? 2023 Science Society of Thailand under Royal Patronage.
