ABSTRACT:
An improved electrodeionization apparatus and method are provided. The electrodeionization apparatus includes an ion-concentrating compartment, an ion-depleting compartment, and electrolyte compartments, wherein alternating layers of anion exchange resins and cation exchange resins are positioned in the ion-depleting compartment, and the anion exchange resins comprise Type II anion resins. The incorporation of Type II anion material, alone or with Type I anion material, in anion permeable membranes and/or resins improves the electric current distribution, degree of resin regeneration, and deionization performance.
