An electrochemical column consisting of two high surface porous carbon electrodes and a thin separator, was operated in four‐action electrochemical parametric pumping cycles at the double layer potential range. A significant concentration profile was built up along the column indicating that several theoretical plates were attained. The separative properties of a single theoretical plate was derived. The method seems promising for industrial water processing.
