Separation processes underpin chemical manufacturing, energy and fuel production, resource recovery, and water purification. Capacitive deionization (CDI) is an electrochemical separation technique based on electrosorption of charged species from an aqueous solution. This work reports the development and application of CDI for the extraction and recovery of butyrate, a carboxylate anion that is key to bioenergy production, among other applications. Electrosorption of sodium butyrate was evaluated using a bench-scale CDI system with activated carbon cloth electrodes. Applying an external potential (1.2 V) enhanced the adsorption capacity of activated carbon for butyrate by 250%. Reversible electrosorption was also demonstrated by extracting and recovering butyrate at 1.2 and 0 V, respectively. Performance metrics including butyrate adsorption and desorption capacities, adsorption and desorption rates, charge efficiency, energy consumption, and recovery are reported. Furthermore, this study also investigates the long-term operational stability of the system by cycling the cell more than 1000 times using 1.2 and 0 V for charging and discharging, respectively. Subsequent physicochemical characterization indicates increased oxygen content (from similar to 2% to >8%), decreased specific surface area (by similar to 20%), and decreased pore volume (by similar to 20%), attributed to carbon oxidation. Overall, this work informs the design of CDI for organic anion separation and recovery.
