Claim 1

AN ELECTRODIALYSIS APPARATUS FOR REMOVING IONS FROM AN ELECTROLYTE SOLVENT COMPRISING, AN ELECTRODIALYSIS CELL HAVING POSITIVE AND NEGAATIVE ELECTRODES, A MAGNETIC CORE, AN ALTERNATING CURRENT LOAD CIRCUIT CONNECTABLE TO A SOURCE OF A.C. AND COMPRISING A LOAD WINDING OPERATIVELY ASSOCIATIATED WITH SAID CORE, SAID LOAD CIRCUIT BEIG CONNECTED TO SAID ELECTRODES, AND INCLUDING MEANS FOR TRANSLATING ALTERNATING CURRENT INTO DIRECT CURRENT TO APPLY A D.C. POTENTIAL TO SAID ELECTTRODES, A CONTROL WINDING OPERATIVELY ASSOCIATED WITH SAID CORE AND IN WHICH ALTERNATING CURRENTS ARE INDUCED, AND A CONDUCTIVELY CELL DISPOSED TO BE IN CONTACT WITH SAID ELECTROLYTE, SAID CONDUCTIVELY CELL BEING CONNECTED ACROSS SAID CONTROL WINDINT TO CONTROL THE MAGNITUDE OF ALTERNATING CURRENT IN SAID CONTROL WINDING AND THE THEREBY CONTROL THE MAGNNITUDE OF DLC. CURRENT APPLIED TO SAID ELECTRODES.
