Abstract
In electrochemical desalination, an efficient ions transfer between positive and negative electrodes is necessary and highly desirable. Herein, a redox media, edible riboflavin-5′-phosphate sodium salt (FMN-Na), is successfully applied to carry out continuous desalination as flow electrolyte in a desalinated device. The desalination process is achieved by trapping Na+/Cl− at positive/negative steams respectively with help of cation/anion exchange membranes. The removal efficiency can be up to 98.1 %. The salt removability and consumption rate are investigated under different current densities and salt concentrations. The flow rate of electrolyte and cyclic-ability are also examined. This green and pollution-free electro-catalytic technology will offer great potential for the safe and effective seawater desalination.
