20150299016 | WATER TREATMENT DEVICE - Provided is a water treatment device that suppresses the degradation of electrodes in a capacitive de-ionization treatment section and is capable of maintaining high water treatment capability. The water treatment device includes an activated carbon treatment section that receives an inflow of water having a total organic carbon concentration of 100 mg/l or less and adsorbs and removes organic matters contained in the water; and, on the downstream side of the activated carbon treatment section, a capacitive de-ionization treatment section including a pair of electrodes to which voltages having polarities opposite to each other are applied, a flow path, and ion exchange membranes. Ions contained in the water are adsorbed to the electrodes with voltages applied thereto, and voltages reverse to the voltages at the time of ions adsorption are applied to the electrodes to release the ions from the electrodes. | 10-22-2015 |

20150210565 | DE-IONIZATION TREATMENT DEVICE AND METHOD FOR OPERATING DE-IONIZATION TREATMENT DEVICE - A de-ionization treatment device includes a capacitive de-ionization treatment unit. In a de-ionization step before a regeneration step, the de-ionization treatment device injects a scale inhibiting agent into supplied water for a period of time that is deduced from a retained water amount of a de-ionization unit and a supplied water flow rate until a predetermined period of time passes or a predetermined ion concentration is reached. The de-ionization treatment device injects the scale inhibiting agent into supplied water at the time of stoppage of the capacitive de-ionization treatment unit until a predetermined period of time passes or a predetermined ion concentration is reached. Alternatively, at the time of stoppage of the capacitive de-ionization treatment unit, the de-ionization treatment device feeds a low ion concentration water in an amount based on the retained water amount of the de-ionization unit to the capacitive de-ionization treatment unit. | 07-30-2015 |
