APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TREATING AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS AND CONTAMINANTS THEREIN

摘要

The present disclosure is generally directed to devices and methods of treating aqueous solutions to help remove or otherwise reduce levels, concentrations or amounts of one or more contaminants. The present disclosure relates to a system and apparatus which is adapted to receive components including at least one counterelectrode (e.g. cathode) and at least one photoelectrode (e.g. anode) provided or arranged around at least one UV light source, and/or receive, contain and/or circulate fluid or aqueous solution.

主权项

1. An assembly for removing or reducing the level of contaminants in a solution comprising:
a first light source having a longitudinal axis; a plurality of second light sources provided about a line concentric to the longitudinal axis of the first light source; a first photoelectrode provided between the first light source and plurality of second light sources; a second photoelectrode provided around the second light sources; at least one counterelectrode provided between the first photoelectrode and the second photoelectrode; wherein the first photoelectrode and second photoelectrode each comprise a primarily titanium foil support with a layer of titanium dioxide provided on at least one surface the photoelectrode; and wherein the first photoelectrode, second photoelectrode and at least one counterelectrode are each coupled to a respective terminal adapted to be electrically coupled to a power supply.
