Abstract
Capacitive deionization (CDI) can not only be used for water desalination, that is, salts adsorption, but also for environmental contamination control processes. This includes removal of toxic metal and charged organic species through adsorption. Meanwhile, through a combination of other techniques, such as photocatalysis and advanced oxidization processes, high-valence toxic metals and organic species can also be degraded. In this chapter, the recent advances in this field will be discussed.
