Abstract

Electro oxidation membrane evaporatorcomprises sweep air handler; fluid tankdefining a fluid container; fluid contactor/separator; oxidation cell; and scrubber. Electro oxidation membrane evaporatormay allow higher percent water recovery from wastewater prior to delivering brine to a brine water recovery system and can allow Ofrom air such as cabin air to continuously diffuse into the wastewater as Ois consumed to generate oxidants, helping to eliminate the low oxidant environment at the end of the cycle that causes pH to remain high, and low pH prevents precipitates from forming for longer so more water can be evaporated from the wastewater.
