A method for harmless disposal and resource utilization of resin desorption liquid generated in the ion exchange process is provided. Resin desorption liquid is channeled into an electrolytic tank, which is arranged with an inlet and an outlet; the anode and the cathode within the electrolytic tank are separately connected to a stabilized power supply; both the direct and indirect oxidation process and occurred at the anode can decompose the organic pollutants in the desorption liquid; with necessary replenishment of fresh regeneration agent, the treated desorption liquid can exert excellent performance in regenerating saturated resin; the recycled use of resin desorption liquid is therefore realized, which consequently avoids unnecessary waste of regeneration agent and reduces the final yield of the desorption liquid. This method is characterized by being convenient in operation, without addition of extra reagents, without secondary pollution, and suitable for the desorption liquid with wide pH variations.

Methods, systems and devices for removing iodide from an aqueous solution including submerging an iodophilic electrode in an aqueous solution containing iodide, applying a current to the electrode, and electrochemically oxidizing the iodide to iodine within the electrode. The electrode may include an iodophilic material and an electrically conductive material. It may also include a binder. The iodophilic material may be a starch, chitosan, carboxycellulose, cationic polymer, or an anion exchange membrane material, for example. After oxidizing the iodide to iodine within the electrode, the electrode may be submerged in a second solution and a current may be applied to reduce the iodine and release it from the electrode in the form of iodide into the second solution.

A salt water supply unit includes a salt water plate that divides the interior of a salt water tank into a salt container and a salt water reservoir, and a salt water well that stands and penetrates the salt water plate. The salt water well accommodates a salt water valve device and a concentration detector. The salt water valve device includes a valve box having a valve hole that allows makeup water or salt water to flow therethrough, a float rod penetrating the valve hole, a valve element coupled to a first end of the float rod, and a water level detecting float coupled to a second end of the float rod. The concentration detector includes a switch that is incorporated in a stem holding a concentration detecting float. The switch outputs different detection signals in accordance with the position of the concentration detecting float.

Methods, systems and devices for PFAS destruction including adding a sulfite salt to an aqueous solution containing PFAS and then irradiating the aqueous solution with light at 222 nm. The method may include adding a base to the aqueous solution in an amount sufficient to raise a pH of the aqueous solution including PFAS to about 10 or more. It may also include adding a halide salt such as a bromide salt or an iodine salt, and further adding a carbonate. Greater than 90%, or greater than 99%, of the PFAS in the solution may be destroyed by irradiating the aqueous solution in this way.
