Asymmetrical removal of sodium and chloride in flow-through capacitive deionization

WATER RESEARCH, 183.

By: Y. Algurainy n & D. Call n

author keywords: Desalination; Capacitive deionization; Faradaic reactions
MeSH headings : Adsorption; Chlorides; Electrodes; Hydrogen Peroxide; Sodium; Sodium Chloride; Water Purification
TL;DR: Quantifying the removals of Na+ and Cl- as a function of electrode orientation in flow-through CDI confirmed that competition with oxygen reduction reactions was the primary reason for decreased Na+ removal, and showed that H2O2 generated at the cathode can be oxidized at the downstream anode, possibly enhancing Na+ removal via internal electron recycling.

Accounting for erroneous model structures in biokinetic process models

RELIABILITY ENGINEERING & SYSTEM SAFETY, 203.

author keywords: Bias description; Kinetic model; Process design; Wastewater treatment; Uncertainty
TL;DR: This work assesses the strengths and weaknesses of a method to statistically describe complex temporal patterns of residuals with autocorrelated error models and shows that the augmented error model is not a universal tool, as its application cannot guarantee the desired reliability of the resulting wastewater reactor design.
