GATE-ALL-AROUND AND MULTI-GATE ION CONCENTRATION POLARIZATION FOR DESALINATION

原文（中国語）

A desalination apparatus comprises a fluid pathway having an inlet configured to receive salt water. A part of microfluidic channel is fluidly connected to the fluid pathway. At least one ion exchange membrane (IEM) gate is positioned in a Gate-All-Around (GAA) or a Multi-Gate (MG) configuration around the gated region of the microfluidic channel. At least first and second outlets of the fluid pathway are provided, wherein the GAA or MG ion exchange membrane is positioned between the first outlet and the inlet, wherein dilute of the salt water is expelled through the first outlet and concentrated brine of the salt water is expelled through the second outlet.
