▎ 摘  要

NOVELTY - Method for deionizing water carrying ions, involves providing first graphene sheet and second graphene sheet, positioning the first graphene sheet and second graphene sheet, applying a first electrical charge to the first graphene sheet and a second electrical charge to the second graphene sheet, causing water to enter the water flow path input, through the first graphene sheet and then through the second graphene sheet, monitoring an ion density of the first graphene sheet and the second graphene sheet, and purging the first ions and the second ions. USE - The method is useful for deionizing water carrying ions (claimed). ADVANTAGE - The method is cost-effective, and enables to save energy, and maintain efficiency of the deionization process. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Method for deionizing water carrying ions, involves providing first graphene sheet with first apertures dimensioned to allow flow of water molecules, providing a second graphene sheet with second apertures dimensioned to allow flow of water molecules, positioning the first graphene sheet downstream to a water flow path input and positioning the second graphene sheet between the first graphene sheet and a water flow path output, applying a first electrical charge to the first graphene sheet and a second electrical charge to the second graphene sheet, thus causing the first graphene sheet to repel first ions of the first electrical charge from transiting the first apertures, where the repelled first ions influencing second ions of the second electrical charge to not transit the first apertures, and causing the second graphene sheet to repel second ions from transiting the second apertures, and the repelled second ions influencing the first ions to not transit the second apertures, causing water to enter the water flow path input, through the first graphene sheet and then through the second graphene sheet, thus resulting in the first ions and the second ions accumulating between the water flow path input and the first graphene sheet, where the second ions accumulating between the first graphene sheet and the second graphene sheet, and deionized water at the water flow path output, monitoring an ion density of the first graphene sheet and the second graphene sheet, and purging the first ions and the second ions, when the ion density exceeds a threshold level. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for water deionizer.
