US Patent 12017155 Electrosorptive cavitation devices and methods for phase separation

Provided herein are phase separation devices and methods for performing phase separation of an aqueous mixture. Said devices and methods may include a cavitation component for cavitating the aqueous mixture to produce a cavitated aqueous mixture; and an electrosorption component for performing an electrosorptive phase separation of the cavitated aqueous mixture. Such devices and methods may be used for phase separation of aqueous mixtures including algal aqueous mixtures and/or mining or waste water aqueous mixtures, for example.
