Stage: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide systems and methods for removing a solvent, such as water, from a fluid using a redox flow electrochemical separation device.SOLUTION: An electrochemical system has a first reservoir 106 receiving a feed stream 102. The feed stream includes a solvent and a solute different than salt. A second reservoir 108 receives a brine stream 122 with a higher salt concentration higher than the feed stream. Electrodes 116, 118 contact a loop 154 of redox-active electrolyte material causing reversible redox reactions. The reactions cause the loop to accept a first ion from the salt in the first reservoir and drive a second ion into the brine stream in the second reservoir. Three ionic exchange membranes 110, 112, 114 of alternating type define the first and second reservoirs. A concentrate stream 144 is output from the first reservoir, the concentrate stream having a second solute concentration greater than a first solute concentration.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 (Grant)
