Toward sustainable desalination using food waste: capacitive desalination with bread-derived electrodes

Abstract

Sustainable approach to fabrication of capacitive desalination electrodes using food waste (bread).

Recent advancement of biomass-derived porous carbon based materials for energy and environmental remediation applications

“…Seawater desalination techniques like reverse osmosis, electrodialysis, thermal distillation, etc., are considerably feasible solutions. 388 Regrettably, shortcomings concerning secondary pollution, low efficiency, high energy requirement and pricey nature impede their application. With this regard, CDI being cost-effective and more energy-efficient has emerged as a promising technology for saltwater treatment as well as for removal of toxic pollutants.…”

“…The fabricated hierarchical porous carbon in CDI system successfully reduced the salt concentration by almost 60% with an impressive recovery yield of 56%. 388 Therefore, biomass/waste-derived porous carbons are promising economical electrodes for driving high-performance CDI application.…”
